This weeks WRX victim

[StephenH]

Arrived at work today to see a 07 WRX with the right front wheel bent
in at the bottom, back tho the rear of the wheel well and toed in. the
rt rear tire isn't as bad. The thing is, he has had the car only 2
weeks at most. Initially, we will put rt ft and rear struts, ft lower
control arm, sway bar and rt tie rod. see if this corrects up the
wheel to specs, if not a engine cradle will be next.
Wow, 2 weeks.

If it's stock, with a six cylinder, it has so many emissions kludges on it
it can barely get out of it's own way. I know. I had one (an '81). I don't
like GM cars as a rule, but I actually kind of enjoyed driving that car,
and was a little sad when my wife traded it for a Caravan, even though it
kinda drove like a tank...

yeah, but your pic is of a '70, which most likely had a 350-4bbl and th350
auto trans
A tank? yes, but one that gets out of its own way, nicely. And if its a 454
sign me up!

I'm pretty sure that was a Monte Carlo pictured, which might not be
the most collectible car of that era, but it wasn't far from much more
sought after cars like the chevelle, GTO, or 442. A friend of mine had
a '70 Olds 442 that would not be a good first car. The subie would be
a good step on the way to driving that car. Back in the late nineties
when the horsepower wars were starting it was blowing away all modern
cars with its nearly stock 455. There were three of us in the car once
when I thought a new vette was going to take us, but then the olds hit
second, the tires hooked up, and the vette drifted back like it had
deployed a parachute.
