Where did they send you to this time?

Red__Zed · 11-30-2011, 01:20 PM

Dc and atlanta. Not too bad. Traveling has made me miss the last couple meets...still got your clutch spring around here somewhere....

Samir · 11-30-2011, 02:00 PM

That's why you get paid the big bucks! You always make up the meets with your company at the ones you do make.

So how's the Subaru? Is just the 5.0 getting seat time?

Ha! Big bucks? I wish

Subaru got a lot of seat time recently since I was in DC. Missed the mustang though....

Hey, you've got a job in a down economy, so you're a baller in my book.

What did you miss about the Mustang versus the Subie? Power? Handling? Ergonomics?

The cars just feel very different. There's something special about producing almost 400ft/lbs of torque and sending it to the rear wheels....

On the other hand, the subie feels a lot lighter and more tossable (even more than the z was, even though it wasn't actually lighter). Awd with a turbo four is just an absolute blast to drive around, and it's really hard to get yourself in trouble with the car.

Samir · 12-01-2011, 01:32 PM

I know the feeling.

My Corvette is that rwd monster. My Boxster is that tossable fun car. I love them both for different reasons. I guess they're like kids, lol. Wait, there's always a favorite kid...

Red__Zed · 12-06-2011, 09:08 AM

Saw a blue 350 almost lose it trying to keep up with me exiting off 255 onto 72 this morning...

Also saw Parker but didn't get in a wave.

Samir · 12-06-2011, 09:54 PM

:O Be careful about that. A friend of mine once beat a new GTO and then watched him wreck pretty bad in the rearview. If I see someone pushing it beyond their means, I stop playing. It's not fun for me anymore when people crash.

I wasn't even pushing it...I just like taking that offramp briskly

Samir · 12-06-2011, 10:53 PM

lol. It's amazing how fast the right line will make your turn. I take the 565 south exit from 255 at 50mph regularly in my bone stock 94 Accord. I can't tell you how many times after the turn I've come up on BMWs who freak out when they see me there.
