Too good for the CL thread. This asshat wants 2500 for it. wow such drift. very subaru. omg much jdm   quote:I must warn you. If you don't like that feeling of pure terror as you're sliding sideways into something dangerous, leave now. I'm selling my 2000 Subaru Outback Drift Tank to the first lucky owner to hand me a reasonable amount of cash. This car is so JDM it's disgusting, despite the fact that it was manufactured in the glorious state of Indiana. It has something like 230,000 miles if I remember right. It was treated well for the first 220,000 miles or so, and has been beaten relentlessly since. BUT. It drifts really well. 90% of people hate it, but the other 10% love it. And of that 10%, .05% are girls. So really, this thing will drop like at least a panty or two during your ownership. Not a bad price if you're into that sort of thing.

Crotch Fruit posted:I want to know your analysis of this jeep: Belongs in this thread  those tires are awful even for mud, not enough tread and too much smooth rubber. He needs either R1s with full tread depth,some 54" TTC baja claws, giant general grabbers, or maybe some really big MTRs or maxxis creepy crawlers.Also the suspension design looks extremely suspect even from a distance. I don't like those strange tall spring perches on the axle housings. The pink one is awesome because it's a FUCKIN SICK RACE CAR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU-KMsc45lM e: only 3 races involving pink barbie jeeps weren't won by them and the first place winner was a pink jeep, like I said, FUCKIN SICK RACE JEEP

Mopar is like Kel-tec (gimmicky firearm maker). Lots of really interesting designs let down by lovely build quality that makes you wish any other manufacturer had had the idea first.

According to Wikipedia the concept was specced with the 2.7 V6, so it was hosed up before it got anywhere near production.

You know, the Knight Rider thing didn't even cross my mind. My first thought was "that's gotta screw up the intended purpose of the hood scoop."

The US market Impreza of that generation didn't come with a turbocharged engine, so the intended purpose of the hoodscoop is probably fine.

A few years back, the mods moved a bunch of good megathreads out of GBS and into their content specific subforums in an effort to encourage people to leave GBS. I think it worked a little too well.
