kaz98gt Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i'm mad afraid of getting hit from behind at a stop light. there's some things you can't prep for...yeah lgtlover i was looking for a 99 limited w/the 5speed but settled on the year before where they DIDN'T OFFER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i'm mad afraid of getting hit from behind at a stop light. there's some things you can't prep for... Been there, done that. It was a hit-and-run too But my car is a 5speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz98gt Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i think that more than makes up for the hit and run. i was looking everywhere in the northeast for a 5speed legacy, and was so excited to see this one because it was posted as a MANUAL. but once we found out it was an auto, and we got a good price, AND the fact that my brother can't drive a stick to save his life, we took it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
httrdd Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I am going to do a manual swap to mine soon. Done a couple of trans jobs so I am ok with the swap. I wanted a manual (it is all I used to drive) but I got this car traded straight up for my 98 F150 Off-Road and could not pass it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgtgirl06 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 You don't know jack about it, you drive an '06. Stop posing. Yeah look who's talking. I am still smart enough to slow down in the snow with my 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoopMan Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah, easy on the gas, easy on the brakes, don't try to turn too quickly. Keep a large stopping distance to the car in front of you. Assume every other driver will do the stupidest thing possible, and plan accordingly. It's not like its rocket surgery or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgtgirl06 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 ^^^ Yes, you got it. BTW... How do you like the Blizzaks? I love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Yeah, easy on the gas, easy on the brakes, don't try to turn too quickly. Keep a large stopping distance to the car in front of you. Assume every other driver will do the stupidest thing possible, and plan accordingly. It's not like its rocket surgery or something. Isn't that how this thread started in the first place? It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoopMan Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I have the LM25's, they are awesome. But after the RE92's, just about anything seems awesome. Those tires really really sucked.... The Blizzaks pick up pebbles like nothing else, that is the only thing that annoys me about them. Otherwise, wearing well, starting my 4th season on the same set. Lots of tread left.

lgtgirl06 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thats good to hear. I just started this season with LM60's on my stock wheels. I have a set of Rota Tarmac -3's coming in March with my summer tires on them. I will be able to get a few seasons out of them then. Great.

I think you mean, "hard on the brakes, jerk the wheel in the direction opposite the one you want to go, then turn in & power on all the way through the corner."

ScoopMan Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 If you keep talking about Scandanavian Flicks then Nils might come in here and start talking about Bergman or some lame crap:spin: So lgtgirl06, what summer tires are you going with? My Pilot Sports are about done after about 20k, thinking of Hankooks Ventus V12, they are half the price and people say they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonwacker Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 As long as it's Ingrid instead of Ingmar, and he posts pics, I'm okay with it...

kaz98gt Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 +1 what's interesting, though, when the time comes, there's a learning curve between those that react accordingly and those that forget everything they've ever learned about "good" driving in bad conditions and freak. so, crank that wheel and mash the throttle, because it happens to the best of us but seriously, don't do that. think haha. looking into blizzaks for next year! need a set of steelies first, so saving money now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgtgirl06 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 So lgtgirl06, what summer tires are you going with? My Pilot Sports are about done after about 20k, thinking of Hankooks Ventus V12, they are half the price and people say they are great. I didn't really go for a real summer tire. We had a ton of rain here last year and I commute 35 miles each way to work. I went with 235/40/18 Eagle F1's AS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoopMan Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I didn't really go for a real summer tire. We had a ton of rain here last year and I commute 35 miles each way to work. I went with 235/40/18 Eagle F1's AS. Those should be pretty decent tires. I heard the F1 GS-D3's are fantastic in the rain, and Goodyear is offering an $80 rebate right now. So tempting...

lgtgirl06 Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 The tires are on national back order right now. So I have to wait to get the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Kaz, I can't drive a stick for crap but I would like to have one and one I got used to it I'm sure I'd like it. They are really hard to come by here in the Northwest too. I've been looking for one within 500 miles of where I live and still nothing. I'm on craigslist everyday looking lol And I know what you mean about the red light thing, some people come flying up behind me and I'm thinking $#!+ are they going to stop?!

98LGTLover Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I did find a third gen LGT Limited in Spokane, WA for $6,900 I think. If I had the money I'd buy it But there aren't any in the second gen that are stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
