These cars.



Feel free to discuss.

 

They are when you compare them to the GH body of the 08-10 WRX

 

Is a 22B a widebody? You know, because it came from the factory like that and all

 

Nope

 

Oh for god ****ing sake! Seriously?!? Let this **** go. You got owned on multiple FB discussion threads including 3 polls (1 of which you outright deleted) that you lost by a landslide. Why is this so damn important to you? What are you trying to prove? How insecure are you?

 

Anything can be made out to be 'wide-body' with that type of logic.

 

I didn't delete any polls. I started this one long before the polls on FB.

 

Meh, who cares, widebody looks stupid as ****.

 

It is not stupid if you actually require the tire and aero to handle GST L levels of power/performance/competition. It is stupid and rice for anything outside that.

And clearly Jourdan does...Because he has been at it for months...I keep going back to figuring out how a potential C&C-type conversation would sound...


JR: I have a wide-body WRX.

Crowd: Awesome! Which one?

JR: Stock.

Crowd: Sweet! They offer those as factory option and/or special edition?

JR: Well, no.

Crowd: Huh? So what's the brand then? How much wider tire are you running now?

JR: Stock. And also same as factory sizings.

Crowd: Umm...WTH...Do you have any pictures?

JR: *shows his car*

Crowd: Umm...that's just a bog standard WRX.

JR: It is.

Crowd: But you just said you have a wide-body WRX.

JR: I do.

Crowd: *Confused* But you are showing us a stock base model car?

JR: I am.

Crowd: Okay. Seriously. WTF are you on about? What type of weaponized hallucinogen are you on?

JR: Well, you see...It is a 'wide-body' when you compares it to an N/A Impreza from 4 years and 3 chassis codes ago (or whatever your latest apples-to-oranges idiocy logic is). Those we 'narrow-body' when compared to the more modern version of this car.

See those fender bulges? That's what makes it a wide body (just disregard the fact it does not really fit any wider of a tire...or...that it was the only WRX model in the line up).

Crowd: *backs away slowly*


DISCLAIMER: And I am not getting into your convoluted logic as to what you consider 'wide-bodies' if we get past this one specific example (when I asked y ou a question as to 'what's the first thing that comes to your mind when I say "I wide body BMW M(whatever), Porsche 911, Subaru, WRX, etc). I tried making a flow chart diagram to follow you FB described logic and my computer decided it is better to fry itself than try to make sense of it.

 

I saw the book face topic

Not going to get involved at all on any of this. lol.

 

If a tree falls in a forest but no one is there to hear it....does it make a sound?




Exactly.

 

Anything can be made a widebody.

What do you consider a widebody? Only BodyKits? Over a certain width? You confuse me.

Why to they call the 08-10 WRX the narrow body? Because it's not the wide body of the 11-14 WRX.
Same goes for the 08+ STI vs 08-10 WRX

The GR is a wider version of the GH, wider track and fenders. Power and accessories remained the same.

Just as the 22B would be a widebody version of WRX Type R STI (body speaking only)


Note: I have a '10 WRX and don't really care, as I call mine a narrow body when asked.

 

*rubs forehead*

"wider version"
"wider track"
"wide body"

...are all very different things semantically. You cannot use those terms interchangeably (which JR has been doing from the very start).

For example, my POS daily Accord is a "wider version" of the model/chassis that preceded it with the same power and accessories, but by no means is it a "wide body".

What I have been harping more about is complete lack of consistency in the argument language and comparisons. Everything has been apples-to-oranges without any sort of precedence.

Personally, I don't care what JR believes in or does with his car. To each their own. Whatever spools his turbo.

It just that his attempts to prove and/or obtain some subjective inconsequential "status" for his stock car has gone from cute to entertaining to annoying to aggravating to insane. It has been worst than Honda guys arguing power-to-wegght ratios or HellaFlush guys unchanged usability/reliability of their hardpark queens.

EDIT: My work block FaceBook access, so I cannot search and copy/paste arguments I made in the past. And I do not care to spend time re-typing them.

 

I have never made the comparison to a previous model or older generation.
