Well it's good you're safe, but mitsubishis are sh*t, so I won't lament its destruction. Get a maxima.

i need something for the hills out here.
no more fwd sedans.
awd or 4wd or bust.
and studded snows to boot.
where i live
add snow and you get the idea.
it isnt the rocky mountains or anything.but some of these hills are no joke.
 
I have driven an All wheel drive Astro van,it was good,
I owned an Impreza wagon,that was nice.

The Forresters seem high priced compared to the Impreza's

Good luck in the search.

Don't forget the local {to you} Wheeler Dealer,not the national one.

Tow truck driver: (sarcast) Yeah... yeah it's totalled.
ncircle: (totally missing sarcasm) Sweet, new car!
Tow truck driver: (under his breath) What an idiot.

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
 
Wow. Im glad your insurance declared it a total loss. A few years ago, I was a a dead stop and got rear ended at 35mph into the car in front of me and the insurance paid to have my corolla fixed instead of totalling it. Anyways, I would avoid the late 90s Tacoma 4x4. I have a 1999 Tacoma PreRunner V6 TRD and b/c of the locking differential, it does not have anti lock brakes.
 
chacnees are someone wanted the salavage title on that car cause its going to be easy enuff to repair and sell right back out and giving u a "totaled" cost is in the benefit of the insurance cause it gets you a new car with probobly a higher premium and thus its a total win for them 😛

Nice impreza, pretty color. Warranty? How much did it set you back?


60day bumper to bumper.
carfax was immaculate.
7k even.
had my mechanic friend check every possible thing with it.
i test drove some foresters and this was a few k less and liked the ride more for some reason...

 
yeah i was reading and thinking... isn't this the galant that i just saw like last month when this guy bought it...?

yeah cars nowadays aren't so durable because they are actually designed to be damaged to save the people inside the car. a fender-bender at low speed can totally push in the front of the car...
 
nice subbie! we have the same color! mine is 1996 with 140k on it. (130k when i bought it) you pretty much paid a double of what I paid. I notice I got alloy wheel and you don't 😛

last week my xterra drifted through a turn i took to fast and i ended up on someones lawn.
I drove over these metal posts that are supposed to protect the house. The poles ended up blocking my front axle so my car was stuck on them. I had to dig them out with a shovel before the cops came,as i have no insurance.
My car stopped litterally a centimeter before the house, luckily no one was home 😀 The poles saved the house.

Xterra only took damage on the skid plate and the bumper is a little mus aligned but its not even noticeable unless you actually are looking for it.
