A 2.5L Forester Boxer Engine

Last December we finally gave up our 2008 Yaris Sedan for a brand new Forester. The Yaris serves us best with almost 38mpg from day to day driving. We went to a Subaru dealer in Glendale (will post review on the dealership) to choose a Forester variant. Upon reaching their lot a 2009 XT caught my eyes, while inspecting I reckoned that it's too much gas guzzler due to it being a turbo model. The Sales Consultant then pointed us to a brand spanking new Metallic Blue Pearl Forester sitting on the center lot. Upon inspecting it we were sold to it being a brand new car and I were the first to break it in.

Here is the "In with the new, Out with the old" cliche.

While driving it home there is a night and day difference between the two. First is the acceleration, the Forester pulls strong even though it's an A/T with just 4 speed tranny but with the help of the Sport Mode it's a different story. The handling also exceeds my expectations with a factory installed front and rear sway bar I try to enter a corner with 40mph and it just tears the road apart, but you can feel the rear not so planted on the road with that speed you can also upgrade the sway bars and it's a different story. The gas consumption is a bit on a downside being a 2.5L from our previous 1.5L. Highway driving I got 31~33mpg while city driving I only got 22~23mpg with occasional traffic.

The styling for me is just right, it doesn't shout too much attention like the X6 bimmer. The front bumper though looks like a ship with a slightly upper curvature but a front lip spoiler will fix that plus a couple upgrade of wheel and tire with a subtle drop it's gonna look like this minus the hood scoop.

Overall I can say that the Forester is one helluvah ride to have, it can be a gas guzzler but it serves it's purpose. It's bang for the buck!

Stig family stickers are a nifty stocking stuffer


By  Chris Shunk
Those cutesy stick-figure window stickers that tell the world you have three kids and a cat? So lame.

If you
must advertise the entire family tree on your minivan's back window, and you're a fan of Top Gear, there's a better solution. Gearhead's Stig family sticker set includes the Stig, a Mrs. Stig, a pair of helmeted pre-teens, a toddler, and a few masked dogs and cats.

Some say Stig family stickers would make a terrific gift for the holidays, and we're inclined to agree. And at $7, they won't break the bank.

My belated Christmas and New Year's gift to you all.

Ayrton Senna - The Believer


"By being a racing driver you are racing other people and if you no longer go on a gap you are no longer racing" I got this quote from the movie of Ayrton titled "Senna Movie". First off, to anybody who didn't know who he was, ask Mr.Google who he is and this topic is not for you to read! I can say that even though I'm still on my teens when the latter faced his tragic death at imola on 1994, I can say that he is the best F1 driver. You asked why?

well here's why...
-Ayrton is never afraid to gamble on the track
-Ayrton is never afraid to race on wet, rainy track
-Ayrton is very vocal about his feelings of the sport
-Ayrton is a genius

There were no fancy computer and power steering F1 cars on his era, that's why when you see him take on a corner, it looked as if the car was dancing.

I can write all day on how great he is but you must watch the movie so that you know what I'm talking
in here. If you want to get a copy of the movie just pm and follow me I'll help you get one, and by the way I don't support piracy here.
