Forgive me for I have sinned...
This weekend my fiance and I were out test driving cars. He's the one looking.
His budget is $10k. We think he's getting a Volvo S40, but anywhooo.. back to the point.
We went to where I bought my Pro 5 and they also sell Subaru's. His current money pit is a subaru that wasn't taken care of until he got it 3 owners later. We test drove a Forester.
I FELL IN LOVE!
The handling and power is a amazing in a Forester!
2.5L that hugs the road!
He let me drive it to see what I thought and I seriously thought about trading in my MP5. *hides head*
The interior seriously lacks styling but the handing was *drools* orgasmic.
I think I may look into one after my loan is up. I love my Pro, but damn, that thing was amazing!
ps- we didnt get that forester because it was treated roughly on the outside.

If you are serious about starting a family, then definately choose Forester. Good car, with plenty more to offer than a P5 for a family. I just wish I lived in Japan, so I could get my hands on Foerester STi:

Yeah, for now I'm not serious about starting a family but I think I'll trade my Pro up for one when I'm through with the damned loan. *sigh* Only 57 more payments to go.

Yeah, I got mine January 15th. It had 13,800 miles. It now has 18,100 thanks to 3 big trips and the fact I can't seem to stop driving it!

*reads profile* another 25 yr old too! *^5's*
it says you work fulltime too though.
I know I do. Wish I could afford to go back to college. Certainly couldn't afford OSU. Columbus State maybe but college here is so expensive.
