When I went out to get in my car yesterday after work...there were 2 people checking Rock out ( Oh should I mention this building has over 9000 employees so its a mad house ).I pulled his key and go to get in and these 2 start asking ALL kinds of questions...the first one being "Is that Your car?" Anyway..after informing them on it down to the doing the work on it myself right to the paint..I got the " That car is just bad azz" along with the usual " never saw one before" Why is it that stuff like this makes me not want to sell Rock once the other 2 are on the road legal?

I will decide what Rocks future will be once I get an estimate to have his under body fixed...if its too bad I am not going to bother and will probably part out...if it isn't that bad I may have it fixed..Since I have him cosmetically good I forget may times what is lingering underneith...Plus i SOOOO want a lifted EA82 wagon with the D/R 4WD...maybe with the EJ22 swap.

My first XT was torched by some b*****d, for a reason that meant that he was just a real Jerk ! ... but we wont go into that at the moment.., It wasn't untill I didn't have one, that I realised that anything else ( well that I could afford) was just "ordinary". The XT series, is anything but that ! I missed driving it, I missed being the centre of attraction, I missed people looking at it and wondering what the hell it was. I missed being challanged at the lights... I wasn't thinking to replace it, with another one - but even though we had a second car at the time, it was just boaring. No exitement, no sports car feel, just nothing. It seems that we all have something going on with our XT's / 6's, but we would miss-em if we didnt have em, because that just tells everyone about the type of people we ALL are. WE are unique, exiting and never boaring

I pulled his key and go to get in and these 2 start asking ALL kinds of questions...the first one being "Is that Your car?" I've would've been like, "No I'm stealing it, but it's ok all old Subarus have the same keys." -Here's your sign- Anyway, I agree with the rest. I'd never sell my 6 because it's just too strange. You don't get looks cruising a 04 metallic grey Toyota Corolla... My mother wouldn't even spot me. Drive my 6 down the road and every one is twisting their necks... Plus I won't be "forced" into a new car because it is "reliable". You know how some people are, they say that they NEED something that will get them to work and back, so they sell the old car and buy new all the time. Firstly, that can be true, 80's cars don't always work... thats why you have more then one... GUH! Secondly, all new cars are getting more and more boring every year... Like the Focus, Civic, and Corolla.. and now the 08 impreza, talk about cars that look the same. If I take my glasses off at 40 feet I could not tell the difference... If I saw my car, I'd get it(or at least think it's a prelude) Anyway, carry on with our XT lovin'

If you do sell Rock, replace it with another XT. I miss my XT, and want another one now.

Having been XT-less for 10yrs+ I hate not having an Alcyone. I get the same type of attention in my Pinto though. "wow I didn't think any of those were left!...Aren't those the cars that BLOW UP!!" Even in Kat, I get approving nods from fellow Soob drivers. Something that never happened in either of her previous cars, A Taurus Wagon, and the Olds Cutlass

Connie, those spots are too bad yet. I've seen much worse still on the road down here. He's a good kid, and so young for the cancer to take his life.

There are some bad areas there !!!!
You wont know how bad till you clean them up though. with a bit of time they look like they could be braized up. I had some bad structural areas on my old XT, cleaned, measured and got some sheet metal bent up, and piece by piece, with the car on ramps high enough to sit comfortably under, the rust was replaced.
Obviously, if a clean one came along at the right price...
