Hops Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 i dont care about the other cars. you have a BAJA. those things are impossible to find here and cost up the butt. i wanted one just because they're so ridiculous. then mod it to hell. awesome pictures, and bluetape ftw! Thanks! It's a turbo Baja, too! Very rare. Her mom has a black '05 turbo Baja, and her younger brother has a yellow '03. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 That's a gorgeous car. Just wanted to ask, why the painters tape? (sorry if it's a n00b question) To cover up the most rock chip prone areas... There was a guy that covered an entire Audi S4 with it to drive it 3000 miles. Also, DMP on the forums here picked up a Spec B from here in SLC and drove it home with the blue tape as well... Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawl Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I bluetaped as well. Had some fun with it car for sale. PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ean611 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 blue tape makes sense that way. I've never made that kind of trip, up in the northeast, there are so many Subaru's, that the need to go far like that isn't always there. Then again, if you tried that, you could spend 11 hours just on 300 or so miles if you hit traffic in the northeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkthreeeleven17 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Nevermind... my question was answered above. Nice find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Pen Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 wow... amazing find... good for you... just goes to show with enough persistance you can get anything you want... glad it went to a subaru lover and a good home... i am jealous... are you going to do a 3m clear bra to further protect subarus fantastic:rolleyes: paint?? i wonder what the value of these will be some day... i know if i was in the right financial position i would pay out the ass to get the right wagon in 5mt with low miles... i can picture your car on speed someday... and now on the block we have an all original 2005 subaru legacy wagon.. we will start the bidding at $100k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Gadget Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Copy cat! What's all the hardware installed below the bumper on your new baby. FYI - The black tongue sticking out from the back of the car is my bike rack. Yes, I know I need to repaint the grill and the brake calipers. And I need to tint the windows.

SpawnGT Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ive blue taped before on a 800 mill trip....blue tape had so much Bug guts, and rock chips, and tar from the trip. Only issue that i encountered was a rock from a 18 wheeler shot me in the windshield and it started webbing on the way back home becuase there was a big temp difference from that day to the evening. *either that or it was the high temp from the day, and the cold temps in the parking garage underground that i parked in. not sure.

StoplightAssassin Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 That's awesome! Congrats on the find...I've been there myself and know the feeling. The 77 on the doors are a nice touch, but personally I would have gone with a big yellow number 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnrhopkins Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm jealous. I talked to that guy not long after you did, I would have been the buyer otherwise! Except I would have flown for sure. Congrats man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opie Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/77/DSC03571.jpg Looks like it was a "tow behind an RV car", I wonder how many of it's miles were actual driving miles?

BigInALegacy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Dude, I think I took alot of the same route you did when I drove from Tucson AZ to Boston MA this Summer. I recognize the "Biggest cross in the western hemisphere", and I also took a picture of the "Kum & Go" (may have been a different one). And yes, the bible belt is a scary place. Nice find, let the modding begin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastwgn286 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Awesome road trip. I can't wait to do mine. Where did you find the build numbers? I'm curious what the rarest of the rare is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Search "production numbers" or something like that. The rarest is the '05 SWP Limited wagon with black interior and a manual trans... 48 made. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow05gtRI Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 nice, thats some dedication to wanting a certain type of car right there. looks like a beauty. just wondering....noobish question....if we're not supposed to tow truck our vehicles, how is towing behind an RV any better?

Hops Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Nothing too bad, but there could be some wear and tear. For 1700 miles the car felt brand new, though. It's going to sit in the garage for a couple weeks until I get back from vacation, then it will spend some time at the dealership getting checked out since the drivetrain is still under warranty.
