Even though I have a cruiser I still like my bikes caked with mud just like my cars. Shame all those shiny parts keep going back to being shiny after getting dirty. Yes, I am a rally racer at heart.

I took a long 200 mile drive in the Mazda and I must say I hate Auto Transmissions with a passion (the "Manual" mode doesn't cut it). I got pretty bored but then I hooked up my MP3 player which beats the radio stations any day. I also hate the heating in the car, made me too warm.

The ice is almost gone so riding is going to be possible in a few hours. :D

Already had a Subaru Legacy but was totaled years ago. My area has no parking spaces left due to overdevelopment so no car for now. Plus the mayor is urging people to drive less and use more mass transit even though it costs a lot anyway.

I see a Subaru or Mitsubishi Lancer in my future but the 2009 WRX's seem to be hatchbacks, I hate hatchbacks despite loving Subaru since I was 10. Oh and Colin McRae is my hero.

Im not a big fan of the way the WRX looks either. Not just because it's a hatchback, but because it's just....not pretty. Did you happen to see the top gear episode with the new WRX and the Evo 10? Man I want an Evo! Unfortunately I dont think I will be able to shove the son's dirtbike or bicycle in the trunk. :? Oh wait, I'm broke too.

The new 2009 model is a hatchback so I guess it could fit 6 people or you can get the station wagon subaru if they are still around (i'm not going back to the Subaru site, I became horrified when all I saw was a hatchback).


I realize that I've become a hazard to things that get into my possession since I love taking things apart and rebuilding them... which reminds me my current tool set is no longer cutting it, time for me to buy more tools. :twisted:
