BWAHAHAHA... I have a tach in my Justy screwed to the instrument cluster. But, it didn't come with a tach, it was $35 and works with 3cylinder engines and was seriously helpful in tuning the car. I am still a little embarrassed by it to be honest.

It is one thing when the car didn't come with one...it is entirely another to add one to a car that already has one or even worse, is an automatic - I have seen it.

Growing up in Hilo, seeing the classic automatic Civic with the monster tach and a shift light that's larger in diameter than the factory equipped tach, is not something that would really shock me.

Yes, and just like your post, it is called an opinon. If you don't like what I have to say, maybe you should take your own advice and don't ****ing read the thread.

Back when we purchased our Hella Supertones, they weren't available in flat black...only orange. My wife and I both have them, located in their proper mounting location behind the grille of our respective Foresters.

I'm most certainly older than you - so don't call me a kid little boy, and quit generalizing about all owners. The latest use of these saved my Forester - I had the right-of-way in a construction zone where the flagman had placed the stop sign in front of this old woman...so she stopped, then proceeded to try to turn right in front of me.

The Hella Supertones got her attention, alright. They froze her in her tracks, and allowed me to stop and watch her covering her ears and looking completely confused. But these horns did the job in keeping this collision from happening.

Then why do you continue to drive a Subaru, if they "really have nothing going for it" ?

I don't see you doing anything special at the 1/4 without that AWD, turbo,2.5l,and 6 spd feature...

Also your Subaru has saved you from any major injuries when you had those accidents..

Please refrain from talking smack about Subaru's when your whole reputation was developed from racing a Subaru legally and illegally

I'm just saying...


and back to the topic.

dont have to convince me on the modding subys part, i came to that conclusion about 4 years ago.

Though this thread had nothing to do with subys being better than other cars, just tacky car mods in general on ANY car. What, you think we all suddenly would think it was cool if we saw someone put fake portholes on a WRX? Hell no, we'd rip on it even harder!

Just seems odd that you hi-jacked this thread to let us know how crappy you think subys are when it wasnt even what we were talking about

At least those wheels are on newer cars... Some of those idiots will put 30" wheels onto some POS american car from the 80's. One TIRE costs more than the entire car itself... I cant imagine how much all 4 tires and wheels cost. What happens when you get a flat tire? Do you take out a second mortgage?
2nd mortgage?!!? what makes you think they have a first mortgage?
