At some point in the near future, yes. For the time being, buying a house and getting moved to Georgia is priority and the car had to help fund that unfortunately. I'll probably be back in something, albeit 4-doors this time around.

I'm glad the car was an inspiration! I have to admit, I am very worried about seeing my car around here till I move. People do not value their vehicles here nor do they put the care and love (imo) into them. I guess that's the nice way to put it. The asshole response is people's cars look, sound, and run like shit and I'm sure it will be riced the fuck out. Still, I have so many memories and care I put into it and plan to do the same to whatever I end up buying as it's official replacement.

Lol oh believe me, and I will openly admit this, I cried like a baby when I handed the keys over. Like, a part of me died. I did keep the STI shift knob and bought one of those shitty Toyota replacements ones.

But yes, it's adulting at its finest for this move.

Reported, you don't belong here anymore. Excommunicated!!

4 doors, fun to drive... sounds like Type R is "the best" for you. What is your thoughts or you considering another like GR Corolla or WRX?

Dude, that's the old South. These days we all drive something like this...



Need to update your stereotypes there, heh?

I'm thinking something more like a Crosstrek. I'm not going to play the dealership inflation games anymore and low production-high cost nonsense. It's not worth it.

Yesterday, I replaced the Pilot Sport 4 tires with Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires. I got tired of taking off and the rear end not getting with the program. This morning it was 32 deg.F out and the ass-end was glued to the ground. The summer tires were pretty good, but it is cold and wet a lot around here. I did the same thing with my 2017 BRZ, but much sooner. I thought that I could live with these summer tires until they wore out, but four cars in the ditch down the road from me last Sunday sealed the deal for me. My favorite stretch of road for spirited driving generates a lot of income for the tow truck companies. From what I have seen from the last few years is what is left gets taken directly to the junk yard for recycling.

The wife liked her new Crosstrek. She got rear ended on her way into work this morning.
