But, I will give it one thing, it's gotta be one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven.

...it also has the exact same 2500w stereo system (all Alpine) that my old Stealth had, so it's got some level of coolness to it. The 'coolness' just isn't in the looks or horsepower anymore. It can still make ya go deaf, though... which I guess has its merits.

Take care. :jointsmile:

Haha all in good fun, yes that was kinda sorta sent your way :jointsmile:
but ya know I only say that because I had a 96 Lincoln Continental at one time! threw 20's on it and 2 15's in the trunk. All Alpine and MTX, good choice you have good taste in car audio :thumbsup:
man was that car comfy...leather, moon roof..v8...sigh..sold it.
only audio in the 5.0 are some jbl powers and apline pdx amp, no need for more it has a stereo of it's own. Plus even with that i can't hear it much over the car anyway...

So to keep on track as well, yeah I USED to do car audio, that's all I ate,slept,pissed ones summer. but now as we get old uhh..it's all about sound quality right? lol uhh..

I know this wasn't directed at me, but my bf and I are planning on taking our Subaru WRX down to Deals Gap/Tail of the Dragon sometime this summer or fall. Any tips for 1st timers? Where do you like to stay while you're there, hotel or campsite? I don't know much about the area unfortunately.

wow, it seems a lot of people here really ARE just the stereotypical lazy stoner, they don't even have any fuckin hobbies... sad

as for me, i build gas rc boats, ride motorcycles, work on cars, play guitar, longboard, build/ride stand up jet skis, boat, take lots of photos, and i'm sure there's more

im 19 and i own a big landscaping business that i got from my dad. so wen im not looking over all that. i play ALOT of sports. i usually go and play tennis everyday (since its easier to find one person to play tennis instead of like 15 to go play football or basketball). i watch ALOT of movies also. my buddy is an actor and i help him do some short films that he does. and i usually have a g/f to spend my money

Everything I normally do sober...I do high as well. :jointsmile:

To me there is no difference nowadays. Except I do get really excited about doing most things high. It's just like normal, but funner!

I like to keep myself busy to prevent from going crazy sitting around too much...so my list broadly consists of:

Hiking, Backpacking, Running
Working, Sleeping, Eating
Rock Climbing, Snorkeling, Driving
Skateboarding or Snowboarding,
Going to the beach or the woods,
Hanging out with the homies,
Going to the movies, grocery shopping,
Reading books, swiging swords and katanas around,
And so much freaking more!

You can't limit yourself...you only have one life with so much to do!

My buddies are always asking me when I'm going to 'pimp' my car out with 20" rims, tinted windows, and all that jazz... but I think you're right, I must be getting old because I have no intentions of doing anything else to it. It's got a Gran Touring suspension package already (it's the Limited edition), and something called StabiliTrak electronic stability system, which makes it an EXTREMELY comfortable car to ride in. I'll eventually be buying a '67 Mustang Fastback, when I can really afford to pump some money into one, and I'll have a mean car in my garage again... but for the time being, I'm happy putting around in my little Buick. Spring time is here, so I'll soon be getting my adrenaline fixes from the Gixxer again! :thumbsup:

And you're right, I'd be lost without my stereo and XM. Sick stereo systems have been my passion also since I was old enough to drive a car, and that probably won't change until I finally go deaf! It's a little crazy listening to talk radio stations in it though, especially if the broadcaster has a deep booming voice... it becomes a full-on back massage at volume level 12! Go past 20, and you're just asking for bleeding eardrums. :D

My biggest piece of advice for US129: Know the limitations of your vehicle, and ABIDE by them! There's no room for careless mistakes on that road. In a few places, if you happen to run off the road and there's no guardrail there, you're DEAD. Well, at least if you're riding a motorcycle, but I'd imagine you'll still be in a world of hurt if it were to happen in a Subaru. Many of the turns have real accommodating cambers, though, and it's generally a lot of fun. A few can be tricky, so just be sure whoever is driving doesn't get too cocky, because the off-camber S turns can really sneak up on you if you go into them too fast. But, it's generally the idiots who try to push their limits that get injured/killed... so if you drive reasonably and with self-restraint, it's a great road to be on and isn't as dangerous as some people make it sound. They've also been trying to cut down on the numbers of semi-trucks that are allowed to go through there, which definitely makes things safer.

I don't know of any lodging areas over there, because it's only a few hours from where I live. I generally just make a day of riding through the Dragon and maybe up and around Cherohala Skyway. But just Google "Deals Gap" and you'll find tons of sites that have listings for nice hotels around that part of NC. There are also some really good Southern style restaurants around there. If you get the chance, look up Lynne's Place, Sweetwater BBQ, and Sweet Magnolia Restaurant... I think they're all in Robbinsville, NC. GREAT places to eat, but they can be pretty busy on weekends, so beware! Also, I don't remember exactly where it is, but ask some of the locals around there where "the Overlook" is. There's a pull off where you stop and get an absolutely breathtaking view of mountainsides with a gorgeous river flowing through it. It's especially awe inspiring if you happen to catch it when the sun's going down... and/or when the leaves are changing color in the Fall.

Best of luck 'slaying the Dragon', I'm sure you're going to have a great time. Just be careful, and you and your boyfriend will love it! Take care. :jointsmile:

-disc golf

I do not have cable so I never watch TV. So, I am always doing something around the house if I don't have plans.

I don't smoke that much or that often, but it is my favorite thing to do :)

The turn signal was almost silent too, and it wouldn't cancel after a left turn, so I would find myself going down the street with my blinker on miles after making a turn. It's like I was instantly aged by 40 extra years.

When it got time to sell it, the only people interested were really old white guys and young hispanic dudes who wanted to turn it into a low rider. I sold it to a Mexican guy from San Jose who was really excited to get it. I always wished I could have seen it later with the hydraulics, the sound system, and the purple paint!

OMG that is f-ing amazing.
LOL at this story.

I've wanted a Town Car ever since I turned 16. Still can't afford one and also haven't learned how to parallel park a car yet. *oh well*

I'm 18,
I do school work, write letters to my fiance, clean, exercise, paint, make stencils, practice graffiti, lots of art stuff, plan my wedding and how I'm decorating my house, read celeb gossip, ect. Pretty much, I just waste my time :P
