little by little would amount to once or twice a year. I've had another daily driver for years. The white GS hasn't been driven in the winter or bad weather since I bought it. After going through the suspension and replacing it all with prothane and new hardware, I didn't want to ever have to deal with salt again. Also I didn't want to have to buy a separate set of tires for the winter. So from thanksgiving till March every year it stays nice and cozy in the garage.

AWD is only worth it, IMHO, if the car is being track on the weekends, doing rally races, becoming a show car(why?), or some 500+awhp goal is in mind to terrorize the streets. Other than that, say welcome to the additional weight the AWD will offer and more maintenance. And by the sound of it, more maintenance is something you don't have time for or want.

Pretty much. So I'm going with one car. I already have the Legacy GT. working on selling the Outback, then I will decide the fate of the GS. Hopefully someone snatches it up so I don't have to butcher it.

Well good luck, sir.

Well John before you go selling it you should give me a price on those seats. Not saying that I would be able to buy them but I would love to have them. Just saying man.

I can agree with that. I'll be honest If i still had the black one I would never ever sell it. As much as I really enjoy the white one (and in a lot of ways the white is a much better car), I've never really fell in love with it. Like I said, time is hard to come by. I alwyas thought when I embarked on my career and starting raking in dough that I would be able to do all the things I dreamed of with this car. Maybe some of the things that we have ALL dreamed of doing to a 7g. Alas, when the money comes, the time goes. I simply don't have the free time anymore. I just hope that someone who cares about and understands these cars takes it off my hands. I'd let it go for a steal. If it meant I didn't have to tear it apart... Lol because I don't have the time lol.

i get back in a months time, i will see what i can make happen. i have too many cars to my name and need to dump one because of parking reasons.

you said you want to wait until you sell the other car then worry about the GS. when i get back i will try and make magic happen

**kolio** · 08-12-2012, 04:25 PM

i know what you mean about the time and money. i used to have all the time in the world but not money. then money but no time.........

this would kill 2 birds with one stone.....

Too true. Unless you get stupid money, like a billion or something. DOHCStunr, good luck with your car, she's one of the top notch 7G's out there.

**Galanttuner10** · 08-12-2012, 10:15 PM

Maybe keep my black one as my daily and put my built 2.4 and AWD swap your GS? I the thoughts in my head. Idk if I could ever own my idles car but pm me what you would want. And if I got it I would store it in a heated garage all winter as well.

**DOHCstunr** · 09-24-2012, 08:41 PM

Working on the sale thread now. I love this car. Time to pass it on to the next faithful owner. Should be up shortly.

I really was thinking of buying your car and finishing what you started ad what I started on mine but my car gave out and I had to buy a brand new car. Good luck with the sale.

**Ivory8g** · 09-24-2012, 09:32 PM

I didnt want to clutter the f/s thread but omg 5k is a damn steal! had this been last month i would have already contacted you about buying it so it went to a galant lover. damn man. I hope she finds a great home.

**Galant306m** · 09-24-2012, 10:18 PM

Need to end this thread with a build video with some in car action. Sad to see her go but hope someone here gets here so we know she will be taken good care of. Good luck with the sale John.
