Pity you didn't use the roller method for the paint, would have come out more evenly. Looks like you're having fun with it though!

I've considered redoing my car a matte white...

[thegonz]

the guy at lowes told me to use the roller method i just didnt feel like it hahah i didnt want this car to to look better than my 08 impreza haha

i plan on doing a matt black paint job once i get the money or i may just keep this one. the main reason i painted it becuase the stock was so ugly

wagon + flat black finish = sex! haha Love it! Where are you at in NY?

[thegonz]

thanks for the positive comments.

this is the comment i got on nasioc


Why even lower a raggity ass winter beater? To make it look good? To make it handle? Because both would be pointless.


and i live near Syracuse

[Huffer]

Thats why nasioc is full of douches. Seriously. Not everyone wants a $300 a month payment.

[thegonz]

haha i had a 309 a month payment on my 2008 2.5i haha paid it off though.

and if i had known i could have bought a used subaru instead of a new one i would of but then again after the work ive put into my 2.5i i wouldnt trade it for anything

[Dead91silvia]

I test drove an 06 GT sedan about a month ago. Salesman asked what I thought and I said "that 98 gt with 240K I drove up in drives more solid"... He didnt get it...

Something about older cars that some people dont get. Thats not a bad ride!

[xoSubieLegacyxo]

Here's my briefing on other subie forums

LegacyGT is for the people who want a subaru, but have no clue how to turn a wrench, or the trolls that got blocked from here. Nasioc is for people who can afford a shop to turn the wrench for them. Here at SLi, we work through the week, and turn our own wrenches on the weekend!

Car makers built durable cars in the 80s and 90s. nough said! lol

[thegonz]

my wagon has 147k on it and still drives amazing besides burning some oil

my girls forester has 210k on it and drives fine besides a oil leak in the pan
