Took the outlander in for an SRS code and the recalled fan controller...

they gave us an 05 ES for a rental... holy ***** was that thing slow compared to the RA... I had to drive it back to the wife while she was at work and then jump back in my RA... forgot how much of a difference there is in the RA...

maybe it was just me but I noticed how much the body rolled going around turns kinda quick...
seats were obviously a different feel...

again maybe it was just me but the ES seemed alot more roomier.. then again i have a baby hauler in the back and a huge cd case(definately need to update the head unit) as well as a visor cd holder... and random misc. stuff inside the car...

The wife said she should have bought an RA instead of the outlander..
she thinks the lancer is actually a little more roomier up front than the Outlander.. but thats a little sorry..

my friend has an oz as his daily driver. I drove it the other day and It was just terrible. especially once you get it on the highway to like 70... then I passed a guy in an evo and honestly felt embarressed. funny how i never seem to spot evo's while im in mine.

i got my RA back today. still needs a rotor, cv boot and rear sway bar but damn, i missed her.

the guy at the shop asked how i liked the OZ and i said "just give me my car back so i can feel safe again"

and about making them give you an eclipse. my friend has a gs and i ****ing hate driving it when he's drunk. its slower, has less room, very uncomfortable, too many blindspots and reminds me of an aerodynamic school bus.
