I absolutely love these Subarus. A few years back a colleague went to look at a 2l Turbo wagon, so I got to drive his 2.5 Turbo saloon back! Even just burbling along at 40mph it felt special, mechanical, taut and ready for some boost. Very nice cars you have.

It had a fat exhaust on it so you knew what the engine load was at all times and it made you drive 'cleanly' as in no rev flare when changing gear as to make it look like you knew what you were doing.

Thankyou, the white bugeye is mine and the blue gf is my partner's. Both are great cars, drive so good and very well balanced when you upgrade the suspension, both have coilover suspension, brake upgrade and front and rear strut braces. Bugeye has all polyurethane bushes and rubbers, Whiteline anti lift kit and feels like a go kart, though bugeye off the road ATM with dreaded head gasket issue but can't complain with 330k on the clock. New 207 shortblock will go in and she will be good for another 300+K. Skyline is a different story, she goes pretty good 😜

Because anything can be a camper if you try.

Turned some free scrap wood into a bed. It's not a permanent conversion as I still need to transport people occasionally, so the bed lifts out and the seats can be bolted back in. Very much a work in progress.

Still my current daily driver (i don't leave my house that often) although i begun to occasionally borrow my sister's old Chevy Captiva for reasons.

I'm still saving up for my future "dream car" but it's not a priority at the moment.

Elaboration on them not being in the game or just in general? I’ll answer both 😁

GT7 only has the ZR1 and GT350. Forza Horizon 5 however does have both and I customized them to try and look exactly line mine -

When it comes to the cars themselves IRL, they are simply fantastic. I don’t track them - they are only driven on the streets. I bought the Z06 at the end of 2018 brand new off the showroom floor and now have 22k miles with no issues to speak of. The GT500 was acquired last year from a dealership about 500 miles away from me and I had it shipped which was a first. I traded my 2020 Civic Si and 2021 Civic Type R to acquire the Shelby -

I drive them as much as I can when the weather is good which here in Texas is usually more often than not 😊 I do have a 2020 Bolt EV that I use for beater duties -

A recent festival of American car culture in Moscow, and my Stratus Coupe on a Dodge lane, along with Magnum, Charger and a LOT of Challengers. :D

There are also two Camaros, a Nova, an El Camino and a RAM 3500 visible on the background.
Oh, I was on lots of these events in moscow with my 300C (previous car)
Now it`s FTO
Edit: @Rage Racer
Saw some photos of yours, seems like we`re living very close to each other :D

Took the wagon back from the fab/tuner. He was having trouble holding onto employees, so it was pretty much just the one guy taking care of all of his customers, and the car just sat for two months, through four missed appointments. Nothing got done. But while it was away, I was collecting yet more parts for it (creature comfort stuff; unrelated to the engine), so I'll be installing those before approaching another shop to finish it up. Got a half-decent photo of my Hondas together... oddly enough, I hate silver cars:

Finally completed my engine build and engine bay overhaul on the Monaro, can't stop taking pictures of it now. Proud father moment too when it made basically 500hp at the wheels, not bad NA :)

Obviously got to share the flywheel estimate because bigger numbers are better right?! Limiter is currently at 7,100, but the power is carrying so well I'll probably raise that once it's off the break-in oil.
