Project Shaguar XFR

[WRXtranceformed]

Not a ton to report here, I stretched its legs yesterday to get the annual inspection so I can get shredded by the county and state for property taxes (ironically, the state values this thing within $3000 of our RDX, which is crazy). The inspector was like "wow, you don't drive this much do you? You brought it in last year with 25,000 miles and you haven't even broken 26,000". I knew not commuting has kept the beast in the garage but we have also been taking the RDX more places out of convenience. I guess that will be good when it comes time to sell it. I take back what I said about slightly more than desired body roll; I took the same onramp that the M6 challenged me on a while back but this time in Sport mode. The suspension characteristics are dramatically different, even from Dynamic mode. The car is basically flat through any turn...the tires would be the limiting factor at this point.

I still really love the car, it gives me "that feeling" every time I get in it which hasn't ever happened with a car for me. I would be lying if I didn't say that it's getting tougher for me to justify the overall cost of ownership based on how much I drive it though. Frankly at this point with me working at home and Rachael not working, we could probably do with being a one-car family. I didn't think I would ever hear myself say that and I doubt it will happen, but it's been in the back of my mind.
