    Hey guys, thought I'd make an intro.. I've always wanted a Subaru but Mitsubishi got to me first. I'm currently driving a 1992 Galant VR4. It's fun but I plan on getting myself a Subaru sometime in the near future hopefully.. :biggrin:

    Galant vr4s are going to be collectors items in 30 years so long as someone can keep one in good condition. Its a relatively rare car.

    there are a total of 3009 imported to the usa for all model years of the E39A chassis. 2000 were imported in 91, 1000 in 92. The 9 extras were test cars or preproduction models.

    people who know, know. I've heard libraries of suspicious car knwoledge from people who frequent the strip there so what they know isnt worth much a lot of the time.

    "I got a buddy, man he's got a car that runs a 5 second quarter mile, meats on back, pizza cutters on front, will **** your japs **** up mang!"
