Dangerous Thing

We did a dangerous thing yesterday....called car research at a dealership...

I bought my car when it was a year old, so never had a chance to go through a showroom etc. As it is my first car, I've never actually owned a new car. Having said that, I'm not sure I would buy a new one anyways. Though I was seriously tempted yesterday.

We met a nice salesman who leads a really active life (motorcycle racing, ski instructor etc. ) so it was really inspiring to talk to him. He knew that we weren't there to buy something right then and there but will give us a shout if something used comes along that fit what we were looking for. I want to give him our business.

So... what were we looking (salivating) at?

A Subaru Impreza WRX STI

Yes, I now want to take a course in rally driving....

  1. LOL. I've never even seen the car until now (love googling). Looks like fun. Now taking it for a test run could have resulted in two outcomes: 1)buy it or 2)would have been out of your system. Most people succumb to #1 at the dealership.

    You were smart for walking out of there. But you must have been serious for walking into the dealership.

    You probably have a similar one of these in the UK but this is one of the best in our neck of the woods!

    Hi Money Funk!

    I just wanted to get some info. D has been talking and talking about this car, trying to get my excitement up so I finally gave in and took a look at it. I turned down the test drive...
