Yeah, I'm lucky in that I drive mine less than average and I'm probably good until gen 2 is announced. Then it will be tough decision time. Considering that's probably about time to talk about having kids or not.....
Plan a: Just get a gen-2, if it's better by my perception. Plan b: if the gen-2 sucks, try to find a new-leftover gen-1 to get all the updates Plan c: take the 2013 off the road for an overhaul, to include bushings, suspension stuff, possibly engine shenanigans, possibly paint, etc. Probably be a permanent state, but it's fun to think about lol. |

I would have went with plan c as well except I don't have the room to store and work on a car.

I think gen 2 will be compromised, further environmental shit to shackle it so it'll get heavier and feel bloated.. But then again, I could be completely wrong, it turns out to a sure footed, lithe, power mad little sports car..

I used to play tournament paintball locally, and in 2016 played part time for a national team. Between traveling to practice and events and actually playing that year cost me over $10K

The gym is a lot different than when I was young. People would talk and help each other out. Now everyone is silent with headphones on. |

If it turns out he is very wrong and it is a great car I will still manage to avoid the first year teething issues that seem to plague most models and Subarus in particular.

So, I started them in the basement under grow lights (which the neighbors wondered about). I then moved them to a small greenhouse on the deck. After that, I transplanted them into large clay pots on the deck. When they were about ripe, the damn birds would eat them - I gave up and just buy them from the grocery store - humfrz |

Just getting caught up again. Lots of good stuff brought up in the past few days, but unfortunately the only thing in my head now is the below song, but with Toyota instead of Funky.
