バイバイ Imp

So after over four years, I've finally passed off my old car. That being a 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX STi version5 (GC8). やっと手放せて金銭的な負担(保険ぐらいか、駐車場を運良くタダだ使わせてもらったので) が無くなってよかったんだけど、長い付き合いだったので少し寂しい。
Because what a car it was (or is, as my friend who has picked it up will find out, as soon as he masters the stick shift. Taking it for a last spin the amount of power and stability on the road still brought a smile to my face.
Flat 4 'boxer' engine, intercooler turbo churning out 280ps, tons of torque (37Nm I think?), and 4WD. That unique boxer sound, crazy acceleration after 3000rpms, turns on anything. 45,000km of great driving. But all good things must come to an end, 違う車に乗ってみたい。。。
