J.R. Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 So I traded the Spec B yesterday. Sad day, but I'll be much better off financially. After much debate, my girlfriend and I decided that I did actually need a car, so I stayed in the Subaru family and picked up a 2003 Legacy wagon. I'll get some pictures tomorrow/this weekend. The purchase of the Legacy STi wagon has also already been approved by the other half we I get a new car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I guess getting rid of the 650 was out of the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el5y Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Did you trade it in at Stolhman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R. Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 I guess getting rid of the 650 was out of the question? Nope, it's also for sale. I save enough between the car and sale of 650 that I can pay off two credit cards. I replaced the 650 with a Concours 14 back in Aug, before the economy really went to shit. Most of my commuting is done on motorcycle anyway. I only put 3500 miles on the B this year before the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.R. Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Did you trade it in at Stolhman? I did trade it at Stohlman. Tom has treated me very well, and I can tell you that they made very little on the 03 Legacy, and will not make much on the Spec B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandonhope16 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Congrats. Those Legacy wagons are nice cars, there have been a few over the years in my family; and they are great for hauling. I so want to get a bike. Seems everywhere I look now, there is some reference to a bike. Its killing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandonhope16 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Believe me, I thought about it when I saw this. I just think that would be too much bike for me to start on. Ideally, I wanted to try riding a real bike first (since the largest I've ridden was an 80cc, I believe) to see if its for me, then I was thinking of taking that class at NoVa in Sterling and get my license, then eventually get a bike.

It's all about how you approach it. The 650 was the first bike that was actually mine, and the first that I put a lot of miles on. It's more like a standard than a SS bike. It'll go 120, just takes a while to get up there. As long as you can keep your right wrist in check, you would have no problems starting out on a 650.

LegacyGTBiggie Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Thanks again guy. Like the wagon, it's screaming for a swap! My friend loved those bikes. He just started riding this year. Hope you can make it to the meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
