saw my first leg ss on the road last night

Post by The Scooby »

i was driving on highway 512 i think it is through auburn from the muckleshoot casino to highway 18 and passed a burgandy 92-94 t-legacy with what looked to be the TurboXS FRL exhaust on it. i coasted by in the right lane and romped on it.

got next to eachother at the light and i took off again playing around. got on highway 18 and he was all over me. never herd his car though, really quiet.

nice guy, honked as he stayed on 18 towards 99 as i swapped over to 1-5 north headin home.

anyways, nice to see my first real SS in person and that was modded.

I've seen a couple in the area near my school. A brown and a white SS. Both have banged up rear quarters, its a damn shame.

I'm pretty sure I saw a TW the other day. Did any of the non-turbo cars have the turbo grill (post-facelift)? If only the Turbo cars had that grill, then it was a silver TW.

I only see three, unless the Winestone one was a swap of some sort. It has the non-SS grille.

Not to mention a lot of peeling paint on your bumper. Any reason why you have the non-turbo grille?

The bumper damage was from a tree that got in my way.

I got the car with the non-turbo grille on it. At some point in one of its past lives the car was in a frontal collision and some junkyard parts were used to fix it. The radiator's from an automatic turbo.

Hehe, that's also my car on the far left. I'm usually pretty on the ball with what my friends drive. ;)

That's such a cool picture. Five different model years, five different colors. Both sedans and wagons represented. If I remember right, they're ordered in terms of mileage as well.

And they all have the EJ22T block. Even Steve's non-turbo 90 wagon.

I saw three wrecked ones in the junkyard i went to in search of a front left fender to replace my rusty one. (I didn't find a decent one, in case you were wondering.) I also saw a Rio Red 91 on the road a couple of days ago.

Unrelated, but still interesting -- I saw a Forest Pearl BC Legacy on the road today that I could swear had a prefacelift front end and a postfacelift rear. Yeah, yeah, TPIWWOP and all that. I just thought I'd share anyway.

There are a million and one Subies on the road in Salt Lake, and it seems like many of them are BC/BFs.
