A week w/out my Subaru?? What am I gonna do??
My car's in the body shop this week gettin some dents fixed that some random people thought would be funny to put in my car. So I'm w/ out my subie, I'm now stuck either driving my Dad's bone stock Legacy or a Ford Focus rental car(paid for by my insurance
). I'm leaning toward the Focus, it's been a long time since I drove a 2WD car...hehe....maybe some parking lot drift sessions would make the time go by quicker while my car's in the shop

What are you going to do?!?
1) Grab the video camera and a few bottles of bleach
2) Drive rental Focus to nearest empty lot with a buddy or three
3) Film mad phat burnouts, yo! (film from a safe distance, obviously)

I just took the focus out for a test drive and lemme tell you, what a pathetic excuse for a car....lol. I tried a brakestand and all I got was a little chirp, then did a few screeching turns around the industrial park by my house. The little thing has no tac and when you mash down it takes the car like 3seconds to realize you want it to go....haha. My dad said he'll drive it, I'm just going to use his Legacy instead of the Focus aka: (Go-kart).

The Focus is a great rental car, just get one with less than 8k miles if possible, rental car lifetime is much shorter, obviously.
You can beat on rental cars (that's what their for), sheiit buy their full coverage and do rental car demolition derby ala Jackass!
You would never want to really mess-up your dad's car, now, wouldja?

but it's definitely fun driving a monster truck
although it doesn't fit in my garage, and parking it in the city is a *****!
