Making em run is easy. Problem is all the electronic shit that keeps evolving every few years. Just when you get real good at fixen em and nothing can stand in your way, Porsche changes everything including our diag tools and you feel like a clueless new guy again.

"getting good at fixin' 'em"

I guess the high end sports cars aren't that different than my old jeep after all

Now that the STI is available with out that heinous hatch back...I would very much consider either...

Of course I got pulled over test driving the regular WRX with the sales man and my dad a few years back...maybe I should stick to the Vdub.

and the switchover in diagnostic equipment sucks too...we've been pushing off the upgrade from our VAS5052's as much as possible...we have the replacements sitting in the box ready to go...but that is a lot of money in computer equipment to collect dust...a bunch of the guys are already acclimating by using their ross-tech VAG emulators on their own laptops...but still....

As nice as the EVO is, I still think the best deal is the regular WRX. They are now identical in looks and fairly close in performance (actually just as quick 0-60) as the STi. I just picked up an '11 WRX last monday...the Cobb accessport is in the mail Evil

. Sure, you dont get the Brembos, SI-drive, and that adjustable center diff, but they are still a blast to drive. Plus, they sound like the Ducati of the cages. I was thinking of getting "4WHLDUC" as a personal plate...is that blasphemous?

Panameras and new Cayennes require the new laptop. Its built on a Toughbook and has a bad habit of locking up in the middle downloads and such. It will turn a car into a paperweight quicker that you can say "oh shit". Then trying to figure out which control unit or how many are fried is always fun. Good times.

You guys should try being in my shoes figuring out the E320 without even technical documents and only a scantool. It was no fun trying to figure out the aircon/heater problem by searching around on the internet for clues as to how the thing works.

no...not really...ducatista Emily had/has "DUCSUB" on her 04 WRX STi...personally...I think it;d be blasphemous to have WTRDVW as your plate...sine there seems to be a trend of people converting old aircooled VW's into VW bodied Subaru's...

I'm still pissed at Subaru for the new Forester. The XT was just about the perfect car for a guy with a couple big dogs.
