Who is picking you up then?   
I don't remember, hopefully I haven't pissed them off too.  I suppose I could go back and look at that thread and then make sure not to get them mad at me, but than where is the fun in that?

I took Rogue out of the garage (nice, clean, shiny...gee, it's great having a garage) and over to the dealership for the final "Free Pontiac oil change and service special." It felt really good to drive something other than our old winter beater. On the way back home a guy (ok, a kid) in a Subaru WRX tried to show off for me. His mistake. Dusted him a lot more easily than I expected from a stoplight...then he tried to follow me onto the interstate. I love interstate on and off ramps. I watched in the mirror as his front end started to wash out...hehehehehe. All of which reminds me...Subaru spelled backwards is: u r a bus!

So funny!  Agree whole-heartedly - on/off ramps on my commute are half the reason I own this car.

Oh it's one of those, if you focus maybe you can see the Ford in your rear view mirror.

The WRX, not the STi, has only around 227BHP & weigh around 3200bls. I would hope you beat them. But don't dismiss all Subaru's. There's a lot of sleeper out there. Like my 05 Subaru Legacy GT,


By looking at it. At over 3400bls. You wouldn't think it capable of  0-60 in 5sec. 1\4 mile in 13.56 @ almost 101 mph.
