Either SUV or pickup or something luxury. Handling will be secondary because I have that in the Z. How it feels and drives will be key. I like features, but I don't need features. I'm not going in with preconceived notions about any cars and will do most of my research (beyond basic specs) after I test drive several. Budget is always a factor, but I expect won't be test driving cars much past $40K.

Of course, we'll probably have a kid in those two years, throwing all of those plans down the garbage disposal

nono kids bring opportunity. like u need STI

im at the age where lux cars should make more sense to me, but the kid inside prevents me from buying those cars. it's got to have something..

something unique..

The brake cooling kit I just bought I fully expect to sit in my garage for 2 full years before installing. Because I think I want a nice car next. And that's how long it will be before I want to start up another car payment (Honda will be paid off or no more than a year away).

Considering I'm going to drop 20K plus on TT, I better plan on keeping it for awhile.

I've got 2 cars on the pending list, a Juke and the Cayman (depending on what Porsche does to it). I'll probably get the Juke by fall and the Cayman is on the list for 2018. It seems that Nissan quit painting Jukes in Monterrey Blue in 2011, so if I want it match Belle, I better get on the stick.

If I special order the Cayman, I can get it painted Monterrey Blue for an extra 10K....

wow, TT

jukes are definitely cool. did u know u can buy nismo lowering springs for them? ive checked out a few juke nismos with those aftermarket nismo springs and they look pretty damn cool.

vivid racing has them for a rip off price, but u can also order from japanparts .com i think they ran 400 or 450, up to 600. not cheap but worth it, i thinks.

so the insurance thing is taken care for watever new car i choose. i heard dat i have up to 30dayz coverage on both the new car and my out-going fit.

kenchan · 02-12-2016, 12:43 PM

my expectation for the STI is high... considering all the great reviews ive read thus far.

but i need my subie sales guy to reply whether his money guy is okay with me paying by personal check. some faktard dealers only accept certified check or watever they were called (bank certified check).

kenchan · 02-12-2016, 12:49 PM

i hope the STI has those characteristics.

kenchan · 02-12-2016, 12:50 PM

i just need to come up with all sorts of excuses for the picnic table.. i know people will make fun of it.

hey, nice wing.
