Well since the birth of my daughter 7 months ago I have strived and struggled to justify hanging onto my FD but I'm afraid doing the shopping and dropping her off at day-care is becoming increasingly impractical ( although some of the day-care worker girls do give me some good looks when I pull up) .
So I've decided to look at this as an oppurtunity to get myself something family/performance so I can still enjoy day -to-day practical functions and weekend boost - fun (fast driving) .

After much deliberation I have settled on a Subaru Legacy station wagon, 1996 twin-turbo 206kws, volk wheels, body kit and a few other extras.The guy selling it is local and I've already seen it and had a drive, its actually pretty fast

Its a start and its only $10,500 so after I sell my FD I'm gonna have extra cash leftover, maybe I'll take a holiday

check the pics of the Subi--->

 

sorry, here's the pics

 

sell a ******** and keep the fd and buy the subi for a daily

 

damn you can get that much for ********* these days? new turbo here i come!

 

sorry to here that man...im with the others....u have a kid u dont need ur *********

 

damn you guys!!!
I was expecting you guys to say' hey man, you can always get another FD" and " hey bro, that Subi will do the trick until you get another FD" . But no, instead I come up against the full true spirit of the FD owner!! " CUT YA ***** OFF AND KEEP THE FD YA SOFTCOCK!!! "

**** I love you guys

 

I was gonna say you could get more for the baby girl than the FD so theres one reason to hang on to the FD and sell the girl

Seriously though, enjoy your new car.

 

the new car has a place you can practice makin other little future FD owners ..looks like room back there ..HAHA..but when you look at the big picture cars come and go ..your kids are worth everything and more..and you get to keep your ***** too!

 

Buy An Sti You Girly Man!

 

I'd probably have to go WRX to get that, that means peroxiding my hair getting those yellow Ali-G style glasses and a full set of tough - stickers ( tattos ).

I'd be more keen to drop an Sti into the Legacy and .........


my god, do you know how strange it feels saying this ****?

 

Well hey you DO have a kid now, it's not like they're really needed anymore

Sorry to hear that, its always hard to give up a car you love. You can always buy one in the future, family comes first. Good luck with everything.

 

Yeah, keep the nuts and sell the girl

Nah, seriously, if you can afford it, keep the FD and get a cheap DD ...

You'll appreciate the FD even more if you only drive it occasionally...

 

If it was my decision to make, I would buy a cheap but "safe" DD, keep the FD, insure them both on the same policy, make the FD the recreational vehicle (less than 7500 miles a year) and your insurance will stay in check, and then take the FD out on the weekends. That is what I do. DD for work and the grocery store, FD for the weekend.

It only hurts a little to drive something less than stellar when you know you have an FD sitting at home waiting for ya!

 

Life comes first.... Those Subie's (even Wagon's) can be pretty darn quick. I have a friend who has one and it whips most of the cars at the track:

If you do get and would like some performance mods for the car, the ower of the wagon above owns this place: http://www.dpeweb.com/

 

awesome! cheers for that Mahjik, I was thinking today that I ought to start searching for info to modify these types of cars

 

Great replacement. Family always comes first, we can't all afford to have a family car and a toy. You should still have fun with that subie

 

Hey spekdah, when are you planning on selling the car? I know a couple people who are currently looking for FDs so could be interested!

Pics? dezigns@[rx7.co.nz] (remove the braces)

 

Get a Mazdaspeed 6, 4 doors, decent luxury, 274hp 280 lbs of torque, turbo for future ideas, 4wd liek the legacy and other subis and evo's. i've even thought of trading my FD in for it. but then again... fd's pwn
