1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

maybe. I'm not a Subie guy but it was a base model commuter Impreza. Was beat to hell. But I'm sure a lot of non-Toyota guys look at us like we're crazy buying up old shitbox Toyotas so..

 

I didn't mind my old roommates Impreza; he'd let me borrow it whenever he flew home or something

Was a manual too so I always enjoyed it

 

yeah his was manual too, sounded like the stick was rowing through a bucket of nuts and bolts though whenever he shifted so I dunno. That thing was held together by thoughts and prayers and old cigarettes

 

Yeah I can't remember the specifics but there is a risk to challenging it. Just an odd play really that could've gone either way I'm sure based on the situation, so why gamble on 50/50 odds where it puts the press back on the PP.

 

Ha, sounds disgusting

Roommate was the opposite, total clean freak like me and he had just bought it too

Was a hawkeye model, just not sure why he opted for that light brownish color

 

Nice truck

The fucking comments in the actual post keep it going

 

How's yours?

 

Big Horn, I guess it's the highest package Dodge would let her order with a 6 speed manual

 

man I like the concept but the FJ cabin is so bad lol

 

Interesting...my buddies dad bought an 18 Laramie 6-Speed about a year ago, unless im remembering wrong. Weird that being ordered, they wouldnt allow a laramie. Sweet rig either way. Bummed they dont offer a 6MT anymore.

 

huh, dunno, it may have something to do with the region she was ordering it from? or the dealer just lied lol

I think eventually it'll be getting katskinz leather

 

Ive ridden in a few trucks with Katskinz. Im a fan. Seem to be really good quality.

 

That's a dealer-specific issue

Manual was available in a Laramie (if we're talking some years ago) it just wasn't a popular combination so the general sales manager or general manager didn't want to take a chance in case they backed out

We've had similar requests and I'd often be the one to order it cause my co-worker didn't want to chance it

Your SID would be attached to the order when looking up vehicles allocated to you; the owner and general manager would be able to see who ordered what

 

Good choice

It's what I threw into the 5.0

Definitely go perforated, it makes the leather feel so much softer

 

Interesting. Now they are worth they weight in gold.

 

Eh, to some

If they really wanted a manual Cummins, especially in a Laramie, they should've bought them back then

Those people probably want one now cause the trucks are several years old and probably couldn't afford them brand new

 

General public probably had little insight on 2018 being the last year of the 6-speed manual. Thus, making a lot of people regret not buying one earlier. Hindsight's always 20/20

 

Idk, they pushed that statement pretty hard about phasing out the manual

And even more about the HO 6.7

Will say, the Ford diesels drive significantly smoother in terms of road handling
