Yes, those are Subarus. Nice looking car. Congrats on the purchase.

One of these days, first I have to fix up my car though :p
Stick sucks. I stall out so often I barely drive. :-/Quote:

Our lawyer ended up buying a silver one, but he moved last year. And one of the other doctors in my dad's practice got a Lancer Evo VII, for the sake of competing on back roads during their lunch breaks with my dad. I'm surprised they haven't been arrested yet.
Keep with it. Driving a manual is a thing of beauty.Quote:

When are you stalling? On take off, or just on hills?
For some reason the idea of doctors getting all "fast ands furious" on thier lunch breaks is funny. :)
I know stick's better, because damn that car handles amazingly. But it's just a pain to learn. I can't feel what gear I'm in sometimes (hand issue) and I just generally suck with the clutch. Hills are a huge pain, and we have a steep one+stop sign right near me that I always die on.Quote:

His wife doesn't let him have more than forty dollars at any given time, and all he does is play golf. Really boring guy. Drives a Seabring Convertible (=total lame chick car).
I've been looking at these recently, too.. maybe in 3 or so years, when I'm ready to buy again, this'll be my next car.
Congrats.. it's sweet.
Eventually you'll know, by the feel/sound of the engine.Quote:
