2007 Subaru WRX Sti Manual

Now this isnt the picture of the one at the dealership but same car. My wifes car had a noise after the dr run today so i took it to the dealership. One look and they said the front end was messed up again from the accident last winter and they would fix it. There policy is to give you a rental, well all the joe malibus and cobalts were taken so there like do you want another minivan. I said no ill be getting my car latter today so there like just pick one out of the used lot. Soooooo i said i want that one. HeHeHeHe. AND THEY GAVE IT TO ME.

 

I would like to say that i dont think i could buy a car like this, for it would shirly get me killed. The ride home i didnt half to push it hard and i was nervous. I briefly thought about pulling a ken block and see if i could slide her around the corner but my 28year old ism kicked in and so did my insurance company. My wife was mad as hell because she couldnt drive it lol but it was worth it. Sadly i had to return it at 6 today and pick up the stupid minivan but ohh boy it was fun.

The one i drove was 21 thousand with 45 thousand miles on it. It had the aftermarket exhaust but im not sure what and i believe it had some type of lowering springs in it. Honestly it drove like a sports car, tight fast. The awsome factor was unbelieveable. Dont know if i woudl take it on a long road trip but was a dam fun car. Is it worth the 21 thousand. No i would wait 6 years then buy that car for 15 thousand or less. I didnt beat on it but thats not to say i didnt drive (spirted). :eek:

Cheers for not driving like a douche when given something like that. Most people would have been doing doughnuts in the Arby's parking lot on the way home. :headbang:

You know i wanted to, really i did. But its not mine to beat on, not mine to see if it would do 150. Not mine to test its full capability on a curvy road. Not mine, Not mine, Not mine :(

You should have swapped the brand badges around, put the minivans on the Soob and vica versa, then take the van back and say ur returning the WRX (They'll never notice) :P

 

Glad you had fun :)

LOL sure they never would of seen that. I cant haul 3 kinds in an impreza. I can haul aZZ in one but not that many kids. Plus ive seen what theyve done to the minivan and wouldnt want that happening to that car.

Brings to mind stories I have heard about the 1966 ShelbyH. Hertz had these as rental cars in the day. Seems like they were very popular rental on Fri. evenings and returned with very little miles, and signs that roll bars had been welded in and then removed.

Maybe we can get Enterprise to rent out STI-E's.

Hertz has Shelbys currently for rent, I've seen some Corvettes on the lot, too.

You should borrow that to come get the Pugs. make a normal hour drive in like 25 minutes. :grin: and get a speed ticket while saving time.

That's awesome! At my dealership you would have ended up with a Corolla :grin:
