In reply to P3PPY :

I got say the kitten trade was worth it just for laughes! Tow rating check. Prrrfect!!

In reply to sponge :

Glad y'all made it out ok! 

Cats are appreciated - both kinds, haha. Thanks for the additional info. I'll talk to SWMBO more about it. 

EchoTreeSix wasn't able to convince SWMBO to buy another car. We had a great chat about. Good dude.

I have since been left alone in the corner by another three or four FBM folks after long enthusiastic conversations. Meh.

Just this week, one person from Arkansas that visited 'home' in Jacksonville FL evaporated. People are weird.

Cyber Monday deal $7500. Clean car fax.

Or I will be selling my 2009 Pontiac G8 GT shortly down the road....maybe $15K. Same deal. Original owner, no wrecks, mild exhaust and intake mods, etc. I need to spend some time checking market prices.

I thought people got their kittens free out of the trash/yard/ditch/etc. like me.  I had no idea people CHARGE for kittens. :P

Bengals? Oh yes, they charge for them. Quite a lot, actually if it's not a replica...

In reply to sponge :

I'll be in touch sometime this morning as I just saw this and am rather interested. 

Flew down today to meet up with sponge and check out the car. Actually sitting at the airport for my flight back as I post this.

My takeaway - if you're looking for a early-for-the-US WRX that's in good condition and sensibly modified, give this one a serious look or three. I was impressed with the condition and it definitely carries its miles and age very well. Pulls rather nicely, too . Loved the way it drives.

I ended up passing on it because the angle of the my knee when operating the clutch doesn't agree with my iffy knee even after playing with the seat height adjustment. I've had the same issue in some other cars (like my R53 Mini Cooper S that I ended up selling because of similar issues) and unfortunately know how this movie would likely play out. IMHO this car deserves another long term owner that looks after it as well as sponge did, and I'm very likely not the candidate for that.

Good luck with the sale, this car is definitely worth it!

Can't believe this hasn't sold yet. I talked to sponge about it and it seemed like a great car but the hassle of getting it to work with NJ emissions sort of took me out of it.

In reply to BoxheadTim :

Sorry it didn't work out Tim. Thanks for making the effort. I really appreciate it. This one hurts. I thought you were the one. LOL.
