Ooh I could find a 98ish impreza. Those are amazing on gran turismo.

 

For like $5000 I can get a port and polish with a stage one turbo upgrade and race intake for 95whp.

 

This thread can't handle double trolling.

 

Oh yeah, the one we looked at had chrome stockers too.

Did I ever tell you about my Impreza WRX? It was a wagon yo. Loved that car. Too bad I only had it a short time thanks to some drunk lady.

 

I feel like I could easily find myself making bad choices when I get over to Japan...

I think the laws/taxes are ridiculous on older vehicles in Japan.

 

man an old impreza wagon would be Great!

 

Tell me where you're going in Glorious Nippon and I'll hook you up with a ride. I've got American/Japanese tuner friends from Nagasaki to Tokyo over there.

 

I really wish I could tell you where I'm going... as of now, they haven't given me those specifics. Considering I leave in a little over a month, I'd really appreciate having at least a slight clue what to expect lol.

As far as taxes and stuff like that, I'll have to look into it. Depending on where I am, a car might not even be reasonable or necessary. Chances are, I wont be driving. I just kind of entertained the thought since I probably wouldn't have much trouble affording a cheaper car, even after I've covered my costs and set aside a portion for savings. I was mostly just toying with the idea of cars that I wouldn't find over here. I'd love to pick up an older Skyline, but those are kind of ridiculously expensive and cost more than some of the newer models.

 

So I finally received all my new ignition stuff on wednesday and was pumped to get it in this weekend. Next day I ended up going to the ER for some pretty bad abdomen pain... turned out I had a hernia and had to have surgery yesterday so now I have to look at all these parts on my table for the next two weeks :-/ grrr. On the plus side, I'm high as a kite on these pain killers :-))))

 

that sux due hope ya get better... So it was an abdominal hernia? when I was younger I had double groin hernia surgery..Now that sux big time...

 

Femoral hernia? Scrotal hernia? Umbilical hernia? Diaphragmatic hernia? I need details

 

Calm down doc.

 

lol

 

Damn that does sound bad. Yea its called an umbilical hernia. Feelin better but that might just be the pills Talkin :-).

 

Lets just say that after they fixed them it was like while you were out on the table they had a large women with a basball bat take her best shot at your crotch and now you are going to try to recover from this injury...if you cough you will die... so to answer your ? double scrotal... from working at a warehouse...

 

Made it to PA safe and sound!

I have way to many memories come out out here, most I want to forget.

I'll be back in the **** wrenching with y'all soon!

 

Going home is bitter sweet at times. Hurry back, we are saving lots of work for you

 

Ok I relooked this over. It's valued a couple grand below that price and it doesn't even have cruise control. I almost would have gotten it.

 

Wow I'm not sure what is worse... Having the hernia or coughing post-op. feels like hell

 

Excellent!

July 4th weekend is all booked up with two lovely ladies but after that I'm due for some wrench time.


ATXMags I can install that ignition for you if you want. Wont take me more than 1.75 hours.

 

Hey Shady, I got my CF wing installed just to harass you. I'll upload a pic when I get home tonight. Had an itch to do something to the car after stopping by 9k's Sunday and helping pull his radiator and fans. Drilling 8 holes into nice paint never feels good...

 

Dam... Now I cant steal your trunk lights and bumper.

Well played sir... well played.

 

I want.

^Those are some nice looking wheels.

Made a trip down to AAA today... paid my $15 and now I have an international driving permit. I think it's a little scary that anyone with a valid US license can just pay $15 and be allowed to drive in foreign countries.

It only allows me to drive for a year and it can't be renewed, so I'll have to go through the normal testing process if I stay longer. I'm still not even sure if I'll need a car, so it might not matter.
