Wyoming B.S. Thread

We will use hers for long highway trips unless I buy a newer truck.

As much as I would like a 1st gen 4 door, it just doesn't make sense. Mpgs suck, power is lacking, and no space lol. Its sad but true. Plus she wont settle for an older model.

It will be her primary DD, potential road trip vehicle. Plus there is a chance we are getting moved to either TX, or Canada, so kinda up in the air if we need 4wd or not haha.

 

Believe me, i tried to talk her into a 1st gen doubel cab jsut cause i want one lol. But in all actuality it just doesn't make sense, and she said no.

 

Get one of those Subaru crosstrek. They offer them in a manual

 

I checked them out, but for a small amount more the outback is much, much nicer.

O forgot to mention, no manuals. She can't drive them lol.

 

No manual? 1st gen double cab then

 

haha you guys are no help.

I just never got a chance to teach her, and don't want her nervous driving one until she is super comfortable with it.

 

Shit. Only one way to learn man. Teach and let her go wild. Quit sheltering her from the joys of manual!

 

You going brand new or used?
Edit: never mind see your post

 

I hear josh is selling a wrx..haha

 

i think you will be ok with a newer outback. I know the higher mileage ones have I think valve cover leaking issues which requires the engine coming out to fix.

 

haha she had a wierd enough time trying to drive the dsg in my audi. She is uh..not the best driver? So manual can't happen until I teach her properly.

New/used whichever as long as its newer and low miles

haha dont think i havent been looking at it, but same problem. There is a new wrx here that is auto(blasphemy) but shes pretty set on a outback, 4runner if she could afford one, or taco i guess. She will pretty much get whatever I direct her at and let her pick the color and stuff lol..

 

whats the price diff between a new taco and a new outback?

 

Talked to the biologist. Basically a dream position for someone in my position.

 

Oh yea? Do tell.

 

A few 8 day back country trips in the Grand Canyon and a long 18 day one. Just gobs of experience in gorgeous country.

 

Did you ask about a delayed start? Or does this all happen in the spring it being the desert after all

 

I have to call back tomorrow to talk more. He just gave me the background of the job and the difficulties to consider. Flagstaff isn't cheap and I will need to find people to watch Ash. Gonna be a hard decision.

 

Liz can't keep ash? Or what's her plan if you relocate?

 

Exactly.

And be perfect to learn manual on.

 

I think Lindsay enjoys driving my truck more than I do..
