Northern Virginia Roll Call

like?

I bought a 2017 WRX Limited to take with me out to Hawaii when I left Colorado so I could flip it... it wasnt a bad car... if I went back to another car, it'd be the STI though... but I didnt want the outdated EJ motor.... the new FA20DIT in the WRX's are nice, but not enough power for my liking.

 

Im not sure. Not selling my truck though. I was half kidding

 

I wish this would fit a 3rd gen.... otherwise, I'd be all over it.... I will be driving down to Va Beach a lot to see the parents and need something to keep all the luggage / baby gear dry

 

just adding to the fold eh?

 

yes. I am quite happy with my truck. Just the regear, and some small things here and there. Gotta recoup some $.

Waiting for nice weather so I can ride my motorcycle.

 

So no more truck then? Just curious what motivated this? I have always loved Tacomas and couldn't picture selling for a car but that's just me.

Yeah i was hoping the 2018 sti wouldve gotten the 2.0 that they currently use in japan, but from what i have read itll likely not be till 2020 when the US sees that combo.

 

if it's not much of a price difference, get the wing!

WRX guys are giving $500+ for a straight trunk swap..... (easy way to make $500 IMO)

 

Ive always been a truck guy and love the 2nd gen
I've had three trucks, a wrangler, and a camry in my 20 years of driving. I will get another truck, but not sure what/when that will be. If i have the money to keep the taco i will, but i dont think that will happen.

My plans for selling the truck arent bad, im not going to prison or the witness protection program. At least not that i know of haha.

 

Never thought of that. I am way too old for wings, so i would have to set up a trade for the day i took possession of it haha

 

Dont want to ride in 20* with 40mph winds?

 

no way! I am proud to say I am a fair weather rider. Actually I love summer and hot weather. I love riding when its 80+ degrees.

The only time I will drive, is when its raining.

 

I hate summer. Allergies, grass cutting, heat, and humidity. The humidity is what gets me. Cant stand it.

 

Only good thing about summer is being able to wear shorts

 

There is a thread on NASIOC with people trying to swap trunks. (it's as easy as a TRD sport guy asking a TRD off road guy if they could swap hoods) the wing is viewed as the "cooler" part. haha

personally, I agree with you.... I dont need a Fast n Furious wing to let everyone know I'm cool. lol I wanted a quick, capable, sophisticated looking car

 

Also the wing only adds extra weight and drag...

its cool. id rather have a wing

 

Do they ever make any wings that attach directly on the lip of the trunk like nascar vehicles do? That would actually have some function, assuming you could go fast enough to use it.

Coot

 

problem solved.

 

my friend has a ZL1 camaro with one of those wings.. nascar style. I cant find any pictures though
