I knew a guy once that didn't have an innie or an outie. He had no belly button.
He had surgery and didn't want to pay for the plastic surgery to "restore" it. And speaking of belly buttons, one of my favorite Veggie Tales songs... [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5uujMb_hbo[/ame]

I would be jealous if the second gen gets an 8-speed ZF. Otherwise, this 6-speed Aisin is perfect, especially when the car is 300HP. See thatdudeinblue if you want to know what I mean.

It's a good unit. Arguably better than the manual.

It's the same. Power measured at the business end, not the engine.

Man, that's a really clean version! I always key on how he modulates his throttle mid-corner and wonder if that was in his standard toolkit, or if he's just doing it to feel out a machine that was new to him.

As long as the next gen doesnt use a CVT.....
If you ever thought an automatic is boring, and couldnt get any more boring....drive a CVT. It somehow saps away any remaining sensation of "fun" that lingers from an automatic. |

Actually the newest version of the Subie CVT has addressed some of that. I didn't mind the one in the wife's Impreza whereas I truly hated the one in her Mitsubishi.

Just a casual drive, VTEC engaged.
Just watched it again 3x times... I have a "one of one" A.S. special edition... I first saw him live in a Toleman in 84(?) in MTL Got some BW picts somwhere... There was already a buzz about him on his debut... Back on subject: Gut feeling is after this mess were in it may take quite a while before we see a 2n gen if at all. Take care all of you out there. |
