Not logic enough. One is very light with decent power, another one is heavy as hell with brute horsepower. I think he wanted to say that they are both relatively cheap, but well, only him can clarify.

That's why I refuse to buy an american car. They have way too many issues that I just don't want to deal with. Though I used to buy american (had a '95 crown vic), I only get Japanese for that reason.

If the Subie or Scion version don't work out, then I'm going to hunt for a 2008 Subaru Legacy 3.0R with reasonable miles.

If I kick major butt career-wise, I'll just get a Corolla and a Lotus.

If the Scion or Subie is complete fail, then I will purchase an SUV. Probably the new Range Rover Evoque.

Psh, imma roll up in my train if the FT-86 fails.


Bitches don't know what sliding is until 10 freight-cars (stripped of course, to lighten) slam into their building at full lock. The freight-cars are ziptied onto the locomotive of course. Don't wanna ruin my baby.
