congrats on the forester. My friend took his 4 wheeling all the time and that thing never got stuck. Those cars are unstoppable!!!!!!

Thanks, everyone!

Unforunately, I doubt it'll be worth it to make it a Forester STi. Maybe if the motor ever gives up and it begs for a new drivetrain! :D It's automatic, too :(

I'll get some pics of it ASAP to show you all!

Very nice!

Thanks! Just trying to decide what direction I'm going to go with it! Since it's obviously never going to be fast, it's either the fully-functional rally Forester look... or the dropped with nice wheels look....

I don't know about you ladies, but I'm kinda thinkin' I like the rally/outdoorsy look, with the light bar, roof rack for the bikes, crate in the back for the dog, total take me out to the woods look!

I always like a nice looking lowered car with wheels but there's nothing wrong with putting together an active lifestyle vehicle. Do it up!

Alicia

10-28-2009, 10:09 PM

^^ Yeah, I usually go for that look, too!

But the Forester is so practical, it'd be nice to have it set up to really use it!

I know! If I'd gotten an XT...it'd definitely be going in that direction.. I love the Forester STi's.

But mine is auto and very NA. Feels wrong to just make it look sick. All bark and no bite...too sad after having the STi!! :D

But it sure looks sick.....that's what we're thinkin about gettin next!!....well an auto XT..hehehe....

Alicia

Yeah, I test drove an auto XT and it died on the test drive! It was in pretty rough shape with the worst blowby I've ever seen on a Subie before. I don't know who had it or what they did to it, but it was rough!

My Fozzie is at the dealership I bought it at for the next couple days. They're giving me crap over fixing the stuff they said they would in the we-owe...so we'll see if I still have it in a few days if they don't keep their end of the contract :(

Good luck!

Well, I opted to back out of the deal rather than deal with a broken Subaru!

So the search continues... :)

ya, that's no good that they're not holding up to their end of the deal. so NOW you can get a forester xt and make it into an STi! hehehe (we need a devil smiley on here!!)

Very good decision. Keep looking, patience is a virtue;)

And I found the perfect replacement tonight! Going through the purchasing process now :) :) :)

It's definitely cooler than a Forester XS! I'll post once it's a done deal so I don't jinx myself. I have the worst luck ever!
