Time to step in. A little late but by now I guess you know my policy that as long as nobody is complaining (to me), I won't do anything - even though I want to really badly. All because "the forum is what you make of it, not what I want it to be"™.
I would like to remind Steve that you can get banned by the members, even though you have enough green in your bar that it would take an obscene amount of negatives to offset that. See that little arrow on top of your ratings bar? I've explained the workings of that here. In short, people can "nudge" their rating. For instance, simply rate you negative again even though they have already rated you negative. That will refresh the rating so to speak and move the triangle to the left (a positive will move it to the right). If that triangle hits the left side, the system bans you. I implemented that so that people can no longer hide behind their green bar.
Second, as you may know, I don't respond well to people "stalking" each other in threads. I remember two others ex-members doing that. "Ex" because they chose to disregard my warnings to stop doing that.
And I'm afraid I'll have to issue such a warning again.
So nitroheadz28 and 84fiero123: Do not post in each other's threads anymore. Failure to do so is cause for an immediate ban. I'll make an exception for threads in the Trash Can. And if you want to duke it out in PM, that's fine with me too (since PM has an Ignore function so you could ignore each other's PMs if you so choose).
Also, don't abuse the fact the other is no longer allowed to post in your threads by provoking him (in your threads). Don't mention each other by name, don't even mention each other in general terms. So no "I'm glad a certain old fart douche can no longer post here". I will regard that as provocation and ban you.
You are of course both allowed to participate in someone else's thread. Heck, you can even interact with each other. But keep it civilized. Go at each other in someone else's thread and I will have no reservation banning you both.
That said, I will now dump this thread in the Trash Can, since by now that's where it belongs and because it gives you a pass to both keep posting in this thread.
Mind you, I don't follow threads in the Trash Can. So if you have any questions, please send me a PM. I will not respond in this thread.

You did get it? Congrats!
I'd recommend an Impreza, WRX if you can get one cheap enough. I loved the 2001 2 door RS. Also liked the 2004-2005 body style, but I don't think those are quite that cheap yet?

Yeah, I pmed you about it last week when it happened  . I formally accepted their offer earlier this week and start on the 28th. I like that body style, in fact I like all of them up until the facelift in 06. I wish I could afford a mid 2000's Legacy, I really like them and I heard one with an exhaust that made it sound nothing like the typical WRX/ STi. It had a nice and rich/ deep tone 
Thank you for stepping in Cliff, I didn't PM you cause I didn't want to annoy you with this BS but I'm glad you came across the thread.

I never even thought of looking at Legacys when I was looking for a new car last summer, and now I really wish I would have. It seems so much more "grown-up" than my WRX, but I think the 2.5 GT would be pretty nice to drive, especially with the 5-speed. It would have to be the 05+ body style of course.

Yep exactly, every ken block wanna be mountain dew loving douche has a wrx/sti. Dont get me wrong I like those cars, but like you said the Legacy is more "grown up" and I like the stying/ powertrain combo for sure.

My friend has a 05 Legacy 2.5 GT, its a nice car. His is Silver with Black Leather and Woodgrain. Its fast and comfortable. If Chrysler buys back my 13 RAM, I will probably be buying a 08 Forester Sport XT.

The old body style wagon Legacy doesn't do it for me. That white one however, wow!! I'm gonna give him a ring, I wonder what the mileage/ problem is though for that price

I've driven the Legacy and the Impreza, and I still prefer the Impreza. The Legacy has a slightly nicer interior, but it also feels a lot heavier.
