I'm very sad to see this car go, but I am putting my WR Blue 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX sedan up for sale. This model has a 5-speed manual transmission and 190,802 miles, and includes the factory turbo boost gauge. I originally acquired this car in February 2006 from Subaru of Dallas and it had 70,000 miles. The car has been well maintained, and I have only used Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and changed it on a regular basis. It has a brand new MAF sensor, new Stoptech front brake pads, freshly turned front rotors, brand new Optima Red Top battery (one of the best batteries you can get). I drained the rear diff and replaced it with Redline fluid at around 120,000 miles. The car has been modified, and comes with a catless Invidia bellmouth downpipe, custom 3" mid-piping, Magnaflow exhaust muffler, and Cobb AccessPort ECU flash using the Stage 2 93 octane base map. I won't lie, this car is fairly loud, but it's not too bad and personally I find it makes driving the car even more fun. I've driven the car hard, and it's seen more than a few autocross events, but I have taken very good care of it and it drives like a dream. While I was a broke college student, the car stayed on the Economy AccessPort map for about 18 months and was driven like an old lady going to church, so it's not all hard miles. The AC is still cold and works well. There is some paint oxidation on the roof, the hoodscoop, and the rear driver door, as well as some minor damage to the rear driver quarter panel and door. It comes with the factory auto-dimming compass mirror, but the auto-dimming fluid inside the mirror has leaked and it no longer dims automatically, but with the window tint it is not really necessary, also the compass in it still works. The front map visor clip just broke, but that part can be replaced for less than $2. The tires have less than half their tread life left and aren't that new. The car also is pre-wired for a subwoofer, and has a JVC KD-SH99 head unit along with aftermarket Pioneer speakers. The sound quality is great in the car as I ram-matted (similar to Dynamat) and foamed all four doors, the trunk lid, and both front floor board and kick panels. It did add some weight to the car but eliminates road noise, enhances the quality of music in the cabin, and also helps reduce the drone from the exhaust. It's been my baby and I'm going to miss it, but I've got a 2012 STi now and cannot justify keeping both any longer, so this one is going to go. Vehicle sold as-is.

Local buyers preferred, but I am willing to ship the vehicle as long as the buyer takes care of all the necessary arrangements and shipping costs. I have a clear title in hand and will endorse it over as soon as payment has cleared.

Six 'shut up and take my money' cars

Tue, 11 Nov 2014

Any time you see this iconic moment in pop culture - Shut up and take my money! - posted in response to a new car reveal, rumor for an upcoming model or even lip-service to a vehicle that should exist, you can bet there's some intrinsic good in the idea. Though depending on the person offering up the cash, that good could take the form of extraordinary form, functionality, weight savings, power, handling, etc. You get the idea.
In fact, when I first proposed this list, I reached out to the Autoblog staff to help me brainstorm. Here are some of the ideas they offered up that I ultimately didn't use: Jaguar XE Coupe, Pagani Huayra Roadster, Mercedes-Benz S-Class "parade car" (cabriolet), Morgan 3-Wheeler with Ducati V-twin, Ford Transit Connectamino (pickup), Mercedes CLA63 AMG, Ford Fusion 5.0, BMW i8 Spyder, Lexus RC-F Shooting Brake, Volvo XC90 Polestar. Oh, and things we collectively wanted to stick Dodge's Hellcat in were almost as numerous as models that Fiat Chrysler Automotive currently makes (though none quite so compelling as the Grand Cherokee you see above.)
Ultimately though, while I used a couple of ideas from my colleagues, the list of cars I'd shell out for unquestionably is very personal. Though it isn't complete, what follows is a selection of cars whose very existence would prompt me - or the trust-fund-baby versions of me - to utter without hesitation: "Shut up and take my money."

Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?

Fri, 09 Nov 2012

We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.
