You do not need to change ONE THING about your car, it was a great car right off the assembly line. If you discover that you WANT to do something to it, research it thoroughly and look for the downsides. There always are some.

And keep in mind that Toyota and Subaru did try their very best to make this a good car. Throwing a bunch of aftermarket parts at it won't necessarily make it better.

Enjoy you car :-)
Only thing I've done to it was get the Buddy Club tail lights. I thought they looked really unique and got it as a present

Welcome to your first case of being "trolled." He was being sarcastic.

Just being mean and nasty isn't sarcasm. IMHO, of course.

Still not the same as if a guy with a 2013 join date asked "tell me about cars".
I could see about 20 responses that just said "search" and they would be the gentle ones!
That's the point though, it was a rather foolish question asked in a foolish way. The response is generated by the question, not OP's avatar picture.

From your prior post "Here's a couple other questionable posts from the last few days that got reasonable responses with no implication of gender:"
Come on Strat don't back pedal now!
I am in no way criticising the OP nor the guys that respond but simply find the inevitable results that occur every time there is a rare post from a new girl on here hilarious!
Forty responses in 7 hours to a "where do I get basic info" and only one obvious troll comment is not normal here and you know it!

Doesn't matter and I am not going to bicker about it anymore but will just sit back and enjoy the show.

My apologies. Let's face it, you're here to talk more about your personal life. Here, let make things better by pointing you towards the right direction.

And people wonder why there are so few women on these forums.

Huh, I thought they were immensely reasonable (on the 'how do i get 350 horses' thread), to each their own though. A foolish question got reasonable informed responses in my opinion that answered OP's question.

I thoroughly expected jokes about being underage and not talking to strangers on the internet, just keep driving your mom's accord or whatever. I only count five truly unreasonable responses if you take the question as 'how would you achieve 350 hp' (given the question I think 'buy a different car' is reasonable).

Like I said, it depends on how the question is asked:
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73092
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70445

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10555
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4687

Sure there's some troll responses but there's at least one or a few responses that give the most correct answer for what the OP is looking for, just like here.

Different tolerances for 'reasonable' I suppose, this is a rather nice forum regardless of sexual appendages available for flaunting.

This whole thread is un-fucking-believable. One day? Y'all are a bunch of internet pu55y-sniffing hypocrites.

OP, wanna learn about cars? Read.

This is just gross.

Not singling out any one person. To be honest, after a half-assed attempt I pretty quickly tuned out and did the tl:dr scroll.

Meh, I regret my post. Says more about me than anything.
