Moreso for the holy grail (the 2dr V5 STi) of course. To put it bluntly, there were very few dickheads (me excluded of course!!) in them. Cruises were fast / safe and fun and with the exception of [TRUBLSM] and his yellow stickers, police attention was fairly low. Fast forward 3 or 4 years and it seemed more and more young people started buying them once prices took a dive and the problems grew from there.The XR6T WILL be the new cult car for younger drivers. Really easy and cheap to modify / easy and cheap to insure (last year I paid $800 full comp (45K value) for the taxi and $1200 for the WRX (20k value)). Not to mention they arent buying a 15 y/o import. Edited 10/08/08 02:35 PM by Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under-Pants Member 2,103 Member For: 16y 5m 18d Gender: Not Telling Posted 10/08/08 03:41 PM Share Posted 10/08/08 03:41 PM I totally agree with all this - especially as a young bloke - I will be inevitably be generalised with young hoons when that is certainly not the case. On another note, I got a receipt from woollies liquor that enables me to get $0.20 off every litre of fuel purchased in a single transaction from Caltex. It's good for 150 litres. It would be a real shame to see any of it go to waste; I will only use about 40 litres and my mate no more than 50, leaving about 60 litres left to get discounted.If you live near the Midland area my mate and I could meet someone at Bellevue Caltex on Gt Eastern Hwy on cheap Tuesday evening and all fill up using this one receipt. I just drove past that Caltex on my way home - $1.42 per litre for 91RON - I daresay it will drop slightly for the beginning of the price cycle on Tuesday, so you could possibly fill for $1.20ish plus the premium excess.PM or call me on 0437 3933 13 if you want in. First in, best dressed. Probably best to text me actually..... I got skool 2mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
