cww516 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So after driving my loaner 2009 Impala for the past week, I cannot describe how badly I miss my Legacy and how nothing on this earth would cause me to drive such a vehicle under my own power. Can't wait to get my car back next week! I remember seeing a review for that generation Impala a while back when I was looking into the new (current) ones. Basically said that the older one was a great purchase for a rental fleet, because you wouldn't have to worry about whether they'd get returned. I had a rental Impala for a stretch a year or two back. So much body roll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 When I lived in Florida we used Impalas as our rental vehicles...then 4broken transmissions later, we switched to Challengers. Never been a GM person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackal8788 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yeah this thing is basically an uninspired, saggy, gutless, land-whale that sucks every bit of fun out of driving and turns it into a hassle.

GTEASER Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 My dad had a company car, a 1984 Impala, bare bones, but it had the cop car suspension and wheels/tires. After the company was done with it, he bought it from them and I did a lot of my early driving in it. The thing handled great for the tank that it was and was pretty much bullet proof. The front and rear sway bars were massive. Just like this one except he never put white walled tires on it. http://ccs.dogpile.com/ClickHandler.ashx?ld=20150114&app=1&c=info.dogpl&s=Dogpile&rc=info.dogpl&dc=&euip=66.234.199.109&pvaid=68d9bfd81b0546f0a8671ae48c59c340&dt=Desktop&sid=1830193568.1649566479514.1421260651&vid=1830193568.1649566479514.1421250374.5&fcoi=4&fcop=results-bottom&fct.uid=cdb922297963436e8d985d9041ca3d37&fpid=2&en=0WEFU%2FZhSoTF%2FFm%2BpLeuVl4UPZzISdzyg%2BaGYj7N8ISb7M1aTnzzgA%3D%3D&du=http%3A%2F%2Fcarphotos3.cardomain.com%2Fimages%2F0015%2F75%2F45%2F15625754_large.jpg%3Fv%3D1&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fcarphotos3.cardomain.com%2Fimages%2F0015%2F75%2F45%2F15625754_large.jpg%3Fv%3D1&ap=9&coi=772&cop=main-title&npp=9&p=0&pp=0&ep=9&mid=9&hash=4F5DB6933480B2DA576118BBF81BED3D GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 ^That looks exactly like the one my dad had! Except I'm pretty sure it did not have any upgraded suspension. It got sold before I was of driving age, for a minivan... cuz my parents decided to have a 4th kid lol My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front and rear sway bars were massive. sounds like loads of fun. i always loved the look of those boxed out 80's cars. I don't know why. it always make me think of a blacked out cutlass and how they look like they could just surprise you at any moment. tho they are pretty slow stock I saw a worked one as a kid and will never forget him owning my dad from a stoplight in his little acura ledgend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad respect for his goals and entrepreneurship (if that's even a word), awesome attitude as well and it reflects with the video.... Has numerous other toys besides this. Working on a yellow widebody early M3 with 700ish HP as well. That sure is some eye candy. Figured I'd share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swannee225 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Has anyone had any luck with claiming sand damage for their insurance? I got caught in a sand storm while driving thru Bakersfield. All of my forward facing lights and windows are all pitted. It peeled the paint off my Hellas and pitted my new carbon grill, and the bumper looks like it got blasted pretty bad. I put a comprehensive claim in for it. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a comprehensive claim in for it. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck doing this. I can't say about sand, but I did have luck claiming damage from stone/salt chips. I was behind a salt truck a few years with my Mazdaspeed6 and kind of got wedged behind the truck by traffic in the other lanes. By the time I dropped back, the damage was done. My insurance took care of it less the deductible. I would think that my case is less convincing than your sand damage because what's to say that I didn't just have lots of little chips obtained over time? Your damage is probably going to be more uniform and appear to be the result of one specific event where mine could have looked like common road damage that occurred over months or years. Just my $0.02 and it doesn't cost anything to ask your insurance (that will come later in the premiums)!

I put a comprehensive claim in for it. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had any luck doing this. I just did one a couple months ago on my WRX, waiting until after winter for my GT. With my insurance I can claim it once a year per vehicle, they just take the deductible out of the total amount which gets paid directly to me as long as it's under a certain amount. I think I've claimed it a total of 5 times on various vehicles in the last 6 years. My insurance company is very good about it. I have USAA for insurance.

ScoobyRuGT Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Oh yea, for my insurance I claim wind and sand damage. And from there depends on what is damaged, but I've had everything from just paint covered to new headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swannee225 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks for the input. I'm hoping it gets repaired. I didn't think comprehensive claims would raise my premium. At least I hope not. I found the weather reports for that area on the same day and it was so bad it shut down the freeway after I had went thru it. I think that will help my case.

It all really just depends on the adjuster that comes to look at it. The one when they replaced my headlights the guy didn't even come look at it, just asked me what I wanted covered and he wrote it all up. Full paint job, new headlights and windshield =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobyRuGT Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I have found the thing I miss most about my GT when I drive my driving my WRX and the thing I miss most about my rex when I drive my leggy. It hasn't happened yet thank god, but on more than one occasion while getting on the highway in my wrx for just a moment I forget it's a 5spd... again luckily I haven't actually thrown it in reverse. The thing I miss about driving the rex though is all the other WRXs waving as you pass each other. I always wave at them when I'm in my GT just out of respect but only 3 times have I gotten a wave back. And I'm not entirely convinced they realized it was a GT at first lol. Just wondering if anyone else does out has experienced this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
