i don't think there are roads where he lives (look it up on the map )


OP, consider a rally suspension and appropriate wheels/tires + spray the underbelly with rockguard or something.

are there even cops out there? you can have a helluva time blasting around the countryside.

Its all trucks up here cause its the oil sands spraying crap at me, we have 2 seasons winter and summer, summer is 3 months, roads look like something out of nasas moon photos with all the potholes and lines in the road, and its impossible to keep the car clean with all the melting snow and dust everywhere. Thats why its dumb, but it sure as hell is fun lol, i've only seen one black frs up here, wonder if they on this forum

that is where the STi shines

SkAsphalt 04-16-2013 06:29 PM

Yeah I would just get an older STI/WRX or EVO and be hella happy

wbradley 04-16-2013 07:26 PM

I'd go STI in Fort Mac as well. You NEED good roads to fully appreciate this car.

I actually had a wrx before my 540 that i replaced with the brz. There is so many wrx, sti and evos up here... Probably much better cars for up here and way more practical but for the love of the 86 i had to get a new one cause trying to find good old ae86 frames is next to impossible and having to fix and find parts for old cars is a pain sometimes

I would never buy anything but a pickup truck if I lived in Fort Mac, but maybe thats just me
