Picture of new ride

OK, bare paint, unwaxed. It's that satiny pearl white; I really like the "eggshell" look. I let the kid wash it with a fresh mitt and fresh water. I told him not to wax it; I'm going to do it this weekend anyhow. He did the wheels, tires, glass and interior. Ben's a good detailer. His dad owns Ben Cook Racing, they make Sprint Car frames. He goes to culinary school and works for us at night.

This weekend; wash, clay, #81, and either NXT paste or new Gold Class. New Gold Class is really, really nice. The only thing it shares with the old GC is the name.

Man, this car is sweet. It's the 2.5i Limited, same as the GT but no turbo, no spoiler. But it has leather, 6-disc CD in dash, heated seats, sunroof, dual zone climate control, and it is so quiet, so smooth, and has such nice and precise handling for a family sedan.

CONGRATS Tom...she's a beauty!!

Do you still have the Miata?

Subaru makes a nice car. I would have taken over the Chevy anyday of the week. Subaru has shown very good reliability over the years

Nice wheels Tom.

Subaru really has some terrific offerings these days. Have you seen what the WRX does 0-60 now?!

Nice ride, I tried the new gold class and I have to say I really liked it but will have to see about the longevity.

LOL, y'know what? I like them, too. It's leased, so I'm not going to mess with it... but, I was driving it home, I mean IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 10 MILES ON IT, and I'm thinking, "I wonder what wheels would look nice on this? Maybe I can get a set of Goodyear Eagle GS-D3s, and some nice wheels...

It's sick, it really is.

Good luck with it, looks really nice, not at all what I pictired when you talked about it earlier.

The heated seats and AWD will come in handy tonight

Very nice ride! I have the 05 WRX and wow, the AWD is pretty damn good!

Enjoy the ride!
