  1. Ginger,,,,,Ginger..... I'll supply the Bread,,,,,you Supply the Wheels.. Just wondering,,,,,in a run of only 500 cars,,,,would Subaru even consider having made a few more,,,,,,, In my opinion ,they definitely should have for they were magnificent and would enhance ,,any car....
  2. Dear Ginger,,, As Gary Oldman once said in a Francis F. Coppola version of ,,Dracula( my grandparents actually came from there,,Really) ,,after hearing a few wolves howl ,,he said to Kanuwee Reeves ,,,,"That's Music ,,To My Ears" If gotten,,,it would regain the look that was intoxicating to me,,,when I the showroom floor in town motors,,Englewood N.J. I'll attempt to send you my phone number,,,via a message,,that is if I can remember how.. I already bought,or my pseudo mechanic bought another 10 spoke wheel ,,,,,,but way different. Might I ask their condition....? I'll be sending you the pertnents...
  3. This is Not a reply ,,but simply a query ,,asking the voluminous info that is available on here,,,I'm not kidding.. I was going to Empire casino on route -46 linking N.J. To the G.W. Bridge,,it was late maybe 11:30pm,,,,,I hit a pothole ,,size yet to be determined ,,however I reached my destination,,,and when leaving found my right rear tire flat.I managed with some fix a flat to make it home and set up an appointment with a garage,,,,in that 1 mile trip,,my right Front went down,,,, I found that both right or passenger wheels/rims were cracked.... Since those wheels play such an integral part of the overall looks,,,,and the near impossibility of getting the original part wheels ,,, What are my options,,,,,I can't even sell it (18 ) ,,,as an 06 ,,without that unmistakeable look,,and believe it or not,,I only have 37.2 K miles on it ,,and meticulously maintained,,,,,, What am I to do.... Any help,suggestions,,,would be Greatly Appreciated...
  4. That's the ,,conundrum,, I will not buy a cell phone,,,nor my 35 mm pictures taken by a pro camera ,,Topcon.RE Super 58 mm les F1.4 standard lens be accepted on this site ,,like comparing a 5 element Pentode tube ,,,yes the types that drug stores had test equipment on ,,you know filiment grid,screened grid,yes I see we are of such an ,,,understanding... What am I to do,,, It's really superb on highways and elsewheres ,,in that ..traveling at 75 mph ,,it passes so many others ,,effortlessly as to make my spirits grow...... Is it maintain,,,,,, Or as someone else so eloquently ,,Crooned..... !"Should I Stay ,,,,or Should I ....Go" I'm Johnny Eager here,,,I got 37.2 K on her ,,,,,gotta be ,,,Unique,,,,,
  5. Every once in awhile I think of selling my precious,,B It's been reliable,friendly( save dealership visits) ,,and just turned I believe 37K ,,that's all ....you might say incredible,,,I'll say possible...it's truth... I will never own a cell phone,,and although I have professional 35 mm equipment ,,it doesn't translate to this site. It's number 18 ..bought from Town Motors ,brand new....I'm it's only owner .. What am I to do....?? Funny thing,,,although only a tad old ,,it outshines almost every car,,in Any parking lot...it's just......That Good..
  6. Hey mumbles,,,,,, I'm old enough to be your grandpa..... You know nothing about me,,,,that remark without doing due Dilligence shows what you are.
  7. It warms my very heart seeing a performance car well cared for..... I am willing to bet my number 18 has the fewest miles on it..... Coming back from Empire Casino,,,where Thetoad won 2200 on a Deux of Wheel Of Fortune games the odometer told me we had traveled 33,784 miles,,,many on the PA. Turnpike .
  8. Someone Mentioned........ The possible demand problems facing an 2006 Subaru B as far as its capabilities.....As if old before its old... I'd say there are standard equipment on that car that will match up with almost any other vehicle in its price range to this Very Day,,,,save Driverless Parking Abilities.... If maintained well this car will hold its own against competition costing substantially more and it's resale history is well known. Don't sell this car short,,it would be an injustice. P.S. hey Mr. Box ,,,,what's with Claimed.....are you doubting that I own number -18 bought in Town Motors,,,,Englewood N.J. Say it ain't So.....Box....
  9. Mr.Kita... I'll trade a newborn dachshund for one of yours and school you about the true concept of Subaru,,,the most hidden of niche market autos,,,,,, It's in your best interests to do it,,,, Also,if not said prior driving in those ,,,,ooooh Dangerous north woods and risking life and limb,,,Theeeeetoad ,recomends those Bosch ICON Wipers,,,could save you from bears or in the worst case a Rambo XXIV Movie....that is winding around it.....after Expendables XV it's in production,,,,up there...I wish to spare you of that,,,,,,Painful Of Watches.... Your mechanical knowledge is well established and won't dare compete in that theatre ,,,,However.....
  10. Mr. Moderator, I've been on good behavior mode but that blue ink is somewhat disturbing in addition I know not what I did to get that distinction. I have a 417 too.... OK......OK......kiddin However all I ask is for the basics.... That Buy / Sell is beyond me,,I've looked at comparable vehicles but decided I'll die with this car,in addition believe it or not I only have about 30.6 Leagues,check that,,,miles on it and I don't own a cell phone/camera nor ever will but I love photography and I've carried my 35 mm Topcon RE Super with its F-1.4 58 mm standard lens thru jungles and even civilized areas so I couldn't even display it for potential buyers.
  11. Maybe that blue ink can be ,,,,eliminated for the esteemed -18 Thetoad ?
  12. I would never even under duress buy any English car save possibly a Lotus.I was always a fan of the Élan many years ago.The English have great abilities in some design aspects as the Italians do but if a car is required to actually get you from here to there....on a regular basis they simply don't make the cut. Reliability is something I demand and almost all the exotics simply fail in this arena. German cars are still lagging Japanese and possibly even Korean products now and given that premium in price spent simply not worth the money in my mind. They just announced the top 10 carmakers in some sort of comparative test and Lexus came in number UNO ,,,again.Our best USA product was,,,get this....Big Grilled Buick Coming in at number 7,the best American car showing,,but Subaru came in at number 5 overall,not too shabby considering it's a tad more than a niche car company. My intent was never to spew harmful stuff in fact the knowledge I've gained cant be honestly measured and never intended to insult anyone,,,especially a moderator.If I did I apologize right now. Some of my posts come from angles not totally expected and for that I duly appreciate leeways given to me to express my feelings and experiences. I hope I can enjoy the ..Priviledge of membership here.
  13. Update.... Well now I had a rough start but as usual more than the worm turned at midnight.Hit for $5K on something called the Green Machine ,and further smaller amounts on a Wheel Of Fortune Progressive Machine. Am I to be a Sponsor of sorts on your racing career ,,,,Mr. Box? Every now and then I think of selling my -18 however every time I look at comparable vehicles I can't believe what I see. Jaguar ,leasing a 2.0 for $519 per month..... What am I missing here. Someone tried to take my seat and steal a $377.00 voucher from me but in casinos everything is under surveillance cameras at all times,,,,and I'd say in the bathrooms as well... What would you do with my car,,,,,,hold........or .....sell....
  14. Hard to argue with that.. I know how this casino works,,,counts money taken earlier then freeing up machines... I know..subject not relevant here but I've always been a teacher at heart and it hurts this soul that my knowledge of these cars is severely lacking.I learned to drive on a army 3/4 ton truck in a place called DiAn in 1970,,headquarters for the Big Red 1 ...Tom Murphy taught me how to drive even though when I got in country...an officer asked .."Who wants a Driving License" I raised my hand and had a legit license although I never drove an inch...had only one automatic a Datsun 210 ,,great engine,,terrible sheet metal exterior,,even had in their manual,,"To garage or not" well said for rustproofing was only to come. I know I'm different and bring other,,,,let's say intangibles into the mindset.... I only mean to possibly enlighten,,,and more importantly to learn more,,,that's it.
  15. One last thought.... We Americans have lost our sense of Humor which I believe critical.Could be loss of assets ,medical problems and countless other situations we now find ourselves in,,,but hear me please,,never,ever lose that humor for if you do you'll age faster. I'm not skilled as the lowest skilled here in car terms but I've gained life experiences innumerable in my army years and others.Cherish it as a first born.
