Default Its all over but the cryin.....

Well, I think my baby is sold. Took the R over to a buddy's house on Saturday for his folks to check-out [he's going to be a college sophomore] and everything went well. After about an hour test drive he was hooked. We agreed on a figure and am just waiting on the banks so we can complete the paperwork.

Now I have to figure out what the hell I am gonna get to replace it.

get it back, nothing will replace it. I may buy another b/c everything I test drove didn't compare.

sniff . . .

have you driven a WRX yet? it's very quick (and has huge potential for more power), handles well, and has a very nice driver position and interior (great seats). plus, it's a sedan, and is practical. i will be parking one alongside my ITR in a year or two.

wrx, I liked the way it drove but exterior in my mind needed a lot of work and I wasn't willing to shell out that money. Plus the interior is whack.

Hey Don't underestimate the WRX, I had bothe the R and WRX, up until about a week ago, the WRX is quick, actually faster to 60 than the R, handleing its not close but WRX is a very respectable car, however now I have sold the R and the WRX is totaled......................But all things happen for a reason.............NSX-T

I am truely going to miss the car, but I desparately need something with more room and cant afford to get something AND keep the R. I have a few more days of seat time till we get the $$$, bank, paperwork all ironed out...... Its gonna be sad when I have to totally turn her over.

Hi,
Well i'm the bastard that is buying keiths car. I hate that he is selling too, but trust me, its gonna be in good hands i think. I don't think i'd be buying it if my parents didnt like Keith so much [The "christmas sux after 23" thing still cracks my dad up]. But I am very excited, waiting is terrible!

Keith- I've already decided you've got permanent Shotgun status for anything, deals gap runs, whatever.


Peace
Rob Maybach

I am so excited i can't stand it. Alex is in town, and we've been talking about it all weekend


i've got a quick question: When i do finally get it (never soon enough), i want to slam that thing for a bit just to see what it looks like, like in my carport. If i mark where the coilovers are set at right now, will it mess anything up if i drop it, take a few pics, and bring it back up to where its marked?

Rob~ Congratulations! Make sure to keep in touch with us (ITR-NC) so you'll know what is going on.

Keith~ Sorry to see it happen, but sorta knew it was inevitable. Get something cool that can haul the daughter and dog around easier. (No wife joke there!) Keep us posted and hopefully we'll still see your ugly mug around this board form time to time. Late!

How long is Alex gonna be here?

If you can get the coilovers back to the same spot, it shouldnt affect the alignment.

'bout the same time you update your site, slack-***!!

Seriously, I hate that you're getting rid of your R - you were about the first local cat that I ever talked to after I bought mine. Just won't be the same without the '98 around.

Keep us posted on your replacement search... I say go with a wagon
