1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'm currently waiting for a response from the dealer on this one. I sent email about it yesterday so don't really expect anything until tomorrow. The have several wagons, including a Forester XT and an Outback XT that both look pretty good.

Nice, that looks clean.
(I hate the e-mail/call for mileage listings haha)

 

Yeah, that's kind of annoying.

 

The bummer over here is that so many of the southern dealers buy cheap from northern auctions, so I'll find something promising, check the CarFax and it's lived its whole life in Vermont or something.
Or it's a multi-owner, been in accidents sorta deal.
This is one of my favorites colors of these (more than I want to spend and damage indicated anyway):

Granted it wasn't a turbo (Impreza), a friend of mine bought one after our first tour.

He let me borrow it often as I had a motorcycle at the time and I remember that clutch being soft/light but with nice positive engagement.

Definitely a car I'd daily drive and commute in.

A WRX would just be more fun.

 

Ill have to finish it, but I hate when the just end shows like that. There was a show a few years back called Revolution on NBC was really good and it just got canceled. Same with Married with Children.

 

Married with Children omg

 

Your port is under the hood

 

How's this for fast?

Looking at the bright side, the magnets and pan didn't have any surprises. I don't know if I can tap out the part where the plug goes. The plug and the surrounding metal seem soft for the purpose. Let me go look to see if I can find an Infiniti plug.

 

The story line of Revolution got pretty weird and I think a lot of people lost interest. Same with Under the Dome from around the same time.

 

Wtf

I see cheap traction boards, fuel jugs, etc. as accessories on vehicles.

This is the first time I've seen a mall crawler with a snatch strap just hooked up to a truck just because.

 

And those stupid spiked lugs

 

Toyota FIPG for when you seal her back up

 

Its always interesting with King adaptations, which ones they nail and which fizzle. TV or film.

 

That 2019 I drove yesterday had a super light clutch. It was a lease return with 30k miles at the local Subie dealer. The sales guy that was with me was saying the people that drove the car said the clutch was heavy. I told him it felt too light to me and he was surprised until I explained the last manual I drove was the 99 Taco which had a much heavier clutch feel. Driving the 19, that clutch would take me a bit to get used to. Almost stalled it in the middle of an intersection even.

 

I've driven em but never owned my own manual
So it'll be interesting...

 

A ton of vehicles with anything smaller than a V8 have a stupid light clutch.

It's frustrating when you're just starting to figure out engagement; on a Viper GTS it's really predictable but not on a damn Wrangler.

 

It was good for I think 2 seasons then got really weird.

 

I watched the first season of it and it was pretty good. I have trouble sticking with shows though.
I did sell a signed first edition of that book though, paid some bills off haha.
