Talking i jumped ship, but no regrets

as much i loved my lancer, it was time for it to go, sad, that car was like my pride and joy, but along with the car came attention that, i was getting sick of, so...i traded it in, and this is what i got

most recent pic of my car, before the part out



now to the new car, 2.5L GT LTD subaru legacy, couldnt turn it down for the confrot and performance...







its not a goodbye, ill still be around the boards, but i thank everyone that ive met and ahve helped me in building my lancer into what it was...

Congratulations, honestly I don't dig it. It's like a Taurus with a turbo but whatever works for you.

I dig it...nice upgrade.

I considered that car as well, but I wanted to go totally impractical, so I got the EVO.

LOL, great minds think alike or something like that.


It seems like that car has nothing extra on the exterior. It's fast, but that's about it.

The Legacy is a pretty good value for the money. I test drove one when I was shopping for cars but I was sold on the Evo after driving it. It's a great car... just not nearly as sporty as the Evo. Plus when I was driving the LGT, I was thinking about what I'd want to replace already - not a good sign. On the Evo, everything was as I would want it already.

cars i considerd before i bought: Evo, STI, Legacy. 2006 civic SI, supercharged TC, and boositng the lancer, and a regualr WRX

evo and STI are in a class of its own, as far as perfomance goes, but i wanted confort as well, AWD was a nice touch, and something i wanted to experience.

may have similarities of a taurus, but my suggestions is to go drive one, and let it speak for itself...

i got 8k for my lancer which is pretty damn good for a trade, and got the car for 25k and some change...

its cool to each his own, my uncle that i live with drives a taurus, and it looks nothing like it...but in that same opinion, the evo is just a tuboes lancer right? plus the awd, and the and 1000's of extra welds for the handling

per road and track

is an STi for grownups.

I will have to test drive one of the Legacys to actually know how they are. Some guy wOOt his right by me and I was really suprised how fast it was. Good buy, just not for me.
It's because I liked the way your Lancer looked.
