No, because you are dealing with the life of a subaru enthusiast lol.

People who drive prius' s arent concerned about jack with their stock car lol.

Unlike us who will scrap a perfectly good motor to build it bigger lol.

I have a DD V8, and even that car stock had the engine fail at 5,000 miles. My Subaru has had more failures than anyone else on the board, but that's the fault of crappy tunes and people building motors who have no business doing so.

So far, ****ing around in school and not finishing, getting my degree and getting done. But other regrets I had before have led me to the friends I have and my wife, kid, house. So school, that's it.

Why?

Black... FOUR DOOR! I mean really... I don't think I've seen a black 4door RS since.


I love my car, especially these days, but damn... That was a rare car.
Not sure if its the one(not sure what dealer it came from) but my brothers(2nd owner) RS, Northern California car. Black 01 RS Sedan Leather, Some other options. Could be the one lol

At this rate, I'll rack up the miles in no time. At 265 and climbing fast. Leave my house at 530 to be there by 830!! FML!

I don't remember if it had leather. It had a 5spd though.

Only 16,000 RS's made in 98-01. 4 Dr was only available in 00 and 01 I believe. I'm not sure if the Unicorn green RS is more rare or not. I've seen 4-5 green RS's, but only that 1 black 4dr.

Yeah they are very hard to find. His is 5 speed, has the center guage pack (this may have been added after the dealer). I know there are a few combos that are more rare than the green unicorn. Black sedan being one of them.

I regret selling my first car. I had a 1967 camaro with a 400hp 400ci small block. Took that thing apart to the frame and restored or upgraded everything. It was a great experience, I learned so much and grew my love of cars while building a stronger bond with my father.

I regret not buying that bugeye wagon when I went and looked at them when they first came out. Drove the sedan, but liked the wagon and didn't buy it, ended up with a Type R instead. Even though I ended up with my peanut eye years later, I could have been driving it all that time.

Second regret - totaling the R.

3 years ago. I came home one late night after school, around 2am. A small, no tag, male Shih tzu that looked homeless and dirty approached me. I played with him for a few seconds then he just took off running. I regret not taking him. It still gets me till this day,
