Your opinion on This R

The corrosion covers 3 different body panels, both rear quarters, hatch, hood, one fender. And all of the wheels are pretty much a wash so with all of that said picking it up for 8k was fair. I'm sure the repairs will be double what I had originally expected.

I didn't even notice that past when writing mine lol

Glad the car is in good hands. Great pick up.

Transaction went smooth. I was unsure at the beginning of all this because I had never sold a car to anyone site unseen before. The whole check clearing thing is nerve recking for a noob like me, but itrSteez helped by sending check 4 days early to give it time to clear prior to his arrival and also he sent information that reassured me he was a legit guy.

Glad to hear you made it home safely Saturday morning. Also, happy to hear you report back stating that this R is the nicest you've owned to date and that it feels rock solid. It has been good to me the last 4 years.

No worries, it's never a bad thing to keep your guard up. The drive was borderline dangerous and the mountains of WV had no shortage of deer guts on the road. From when I left my house for the airport and when I walked in was 28 hours total, I am thankful for the proper advancements in energy drinks.

And for the novelty of it

I actually miss the Type R. Didn't realize I would until after itrSteez drove off with it. LOL. The new Legacy GT is nice and will be well suited for winter, but the handling is far from what I've been accustomed to with the Type R. Time to upgrade to some Bilsteins and STi pinks.
