had to roll all the way out to the north hills at wright because the salesmen at cochran were dismissive at best. got to drive a 2.0t with the flappy paddles (not manuals on the lot). not bad. the car certainly exceeded my expectations. it's no evo, but it would be a fun little car to cruise.

while we were up in the area we had a WEXFORD SONIC MEET!! it was super awesome.


mondo that was my evo. black with a red "kill" sticker above the exhaust

you guys should try out the 370z...i test drove one about a month ago and it was a different but cool experience with the synchro rev match technology

I think I will start going to these since all cars are welcome.
For the past five years the Pittsburgh area Subaru community has been meeting at the Robinson Township Quaker Steak and Lube. The Robinson Township Quaker Steak and Lube is located at 110 Andrew Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15275-1200. Everyone is welcome (Subaru owner or not). We have not missed a meet in over five years so you can count on us being there!

Typical meets start out by watching the parade of cars stream in. This quickly transitions to a bunch of guys talking cars in the parking lot.
After an hour or so we move inside for wings, beers, and more car talk. Meets usually start around 6 last until 10PM or later. The typical age group is 20-50.

Click here for directions: http://www.lubewings.com/default.asp...ype=directions

As a general rule, all meet dates are on the first Wednesday of the month unless the first Wednesday coincides either New Years day or July 4th. In these rare occasions the QSL meet will take place on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.

2009 dates:
-Jan 7th
-Feb 4th
-March 4th
-April 1st
-May 6th
-June 3rd
-July 1st
-Aug 5th
-Sept 2nd
-Oct 7th
-Nov 4th
-Dec 2nd

the subie crowd are good people. their meets are always fun, and they always get a nice sized turn out.

just watch out for the tall lanky guy that drives the red WRX with black spoiler and black hood scoop. he likes to wait till you're not looking, sneak up behind you, and cop a feel of your package. he's creepy as all hell.

yeah, watch out for that pdlturbo guy, i hear he's a real troublemaker! paul u ever get that spoiler/scoop painted, or you sticking w the two-tone? i think you mentioned you were thinking about it last time i was at the meets with shek and jimmy.

For the past five years the Pittsburgh area Subaru community has been meeting at the Robinson Township Quaker Steak and Lube.
i've been to a couple of the meets there, it's a good crowd and a bunch of 'em really know their stuff.

what is this rev matching that you speak of?
the new 370z's and i believe the 350z too has this auto rev-match "feature". personally i think it's just another step towards driving an automatic trans... but hey what do i know, i still think that when you see a car taking the line/rev-matching it's a sign that the driver knows his stuff...not so any more for the Z guys...

sounds somewhat similar to the tephra patch for our ECU that provides No Lift To Shift.
