Sweet Car!

23k for a GTO?!?!?!? Methinks I have a new car to think about getting. 8-o

Congrats - great choice, sure to make you smile for a long time.

They are all over the North Texas area for that kind of money...

I could have bought that for $23,000 USD (not a typo!) but the seats were very painful for my arthritic back and it just wasnt happy doing everyday commutes.

Painful? That must be because of your back, because I could sit for thousands and thousands of miles in the seats of a Commodore/Monaro/GTO without getting a sore ass, or even getting unsettled. Very comfortable. Seats on a Mitsubishi KL Verada on the other hand...

My ass still hurts images/smilies/sad.gif

Really nice car, congrats. Show us more pics as soon as possible images/smilies/smile.gif

Redliner · March 15th, 2007, 5:57 PM

Very nice buy!
Enjoy and PLEASE post pictures and videos of this beauty.

jeffy777 · March 15th, 2007, 6:44 PM

Congrats! That's the exact same car (and color) that I would buy if I could have my way images/smilies/thumbup.gif

Although, to be honest, I do miss the older syles...

Since the condition I have is pretty embarrassing, I made this a spoiler quote. Yeah, it is my back. I am starting to get arthritis, and besides my joints, it is affecting my back. Oh well. Sucks that I have to choose a car based on my stupid spine.

Oh, I will post plenty of pictures, my friend. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Thank you everyone for the kind words! Just wait until I get the goodies from STi. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I sure miss my 05 WRX.

And I agree that the STi is a bit much for daily drives...

What's wrong with the STI as a daily driver? images/smilies/blink.gif

It suits me just fine. images/smilies/tongue.gif

Great choice.

I really like the face of the '06-'07 Impreza.

I'll be trading in my '04 Impreza Outback in the next 6 months or so. I'm waiting to see what the '08 WRX is about. I'm not sure I like what I see in the spy photos. I may try to snap up an '07 before they're all gone!

Let us know when the break in period is over!

Old Subbies are great, I have one from 1995, runs like a dream. I'm not sure about new Subbies, but I'll figure it out with my new Outback. Welcome to the club.

FATMOUSE · March 20th, 2007, 6:23 AM

Nice car. Have fun with it.

xtasy127 · April 12th, 2007, 10:42 PM

No, they are just tarted up to look pretty, but starting in 2006 the WRX's got 4 pot calipers in the front.

Redoak · April 18th, 2007, 4:23 AM

awesome car choice dude. I'm been dreaming of the same thing myself.

Silverstar · April 29th, 2007, 9:27 PM

Excellent choice my friend! I love seeing the '06-'07's show up more, had the skeptics hating the new fronts of course, but they are so agressive looking images/smilies/biggrin.gif

. Once again great choice. I need to see some more pics images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Every time I see the WR Blue or a Pearl White...I love those colors more and more images/smilies/biggrin.gif

. But then again, I would have probably wanted a Black Pearl if I would have gotten another color images/smilies/tongue.gif

Hey, Obsidian Black fits the...aura of the STi. It makes it look more aggressive. Blue makes an STi look nervous. Does that make sense?
