^Don't worry, he's French

djdnz · 05-28-2012, 04:20 PM

Sigh... Hey at least there will be lots of parts in junkyards, that's a plus.

After seeing this I can't understand why a few reviewers disliked the engine noise. sure it's not a Ferrari V-12, but for an entry-level sportscar I think they did quite a good job with it.

igorot · 05-28-2012, 05:48 PM

This car is gonna need a valve adjustment in less than 10k lol

350is · 05-29-2012, 01:30 AM

what's an owner for a new 86.... oh yes, break-in ... for the next 24hr lemans event

WTF?? If the kid or his parents bought him the car, its their business how they want to use it.

Agreed, i quite liked the engine noise from the car in this clip.

This guy gives off the impression he's a bit of a spoilt brat. Is he hitting the rev limiter at the beginning of the vid? is that why it was kinda stuttering?

Also the car seemed so slow on the straight when he was gunning it lol. is that becuz of the auto?

dorkymork · 05-29-2012, 05:44 PM

Why am I spending so much time watching the exhaust pipe? You want just the noise, just mic it up. I can't think of a more boring place to put a camera for more than 3-4 seconds.

Jayde · 05-29-2012, 06:14 PM

Please tell me he didn't start the engine right into bouncing off the rev limiter...

ESBjiujitsu · 05-29-2012, 06:21 PM

i think thats #1 OF THE 100 things he does wrong lol

Well, at least the engine was warmed up according to the temp gauge during the cluster shot, or so we think!

Just because the coolant is up to temp doesn't mean the engine oil is.

No, it's because the car IS slow.

Also, my first car out of college was a 2004 WRX. I bought it new, but it had ~460 miles on it. It was a dealer test drive car. I bought that car despite my better judgement, and can you tell where this story is going to end? Of course you do! It ends with my dumbass buying a new short-block at 45,000 miles because it was never broken in properly.

As I watched the video, I couldn't help but think, "Huh, that's more than likely what happened to my WRX. I really want to slap the taste out of that kids mouth right now."

Was the car in warranty still? Did you have to pay anything out of pocket?

Remember rule #1 in life: Nothing in life is so bad that it couldn't get worse. The warranty was only 3 year/36,000 miles. Like I said, watching that kid made me want to ram my elbow down his throat.

I wonder if his parents are going to have to be the ones paying for his stupidity later.

man poor car.
