New Tint on the Subie

For $200, not bad. It was originally $160 for all 5 windows, but the sunroof costed another $40. Not bad, it took them 1 hr from start to finish. Its 35% all around, both Missouri and Kansas street legal. This one dude came after us, took out his 20% he had on the front two for a 35%, he got pulled over twice by the Kansas highway patrol. Apparently they're pretty strict. I never ran into trouble in PA when I used to have my 5% (last 3 pictures from 2002).





Wax on.


Wax off.
Only had time to wax the front half of the car, next time (one of these days) I'll do the rest!

Old picture of my 2nd car, 1995 Honda Civic DX, 1.5L SOHC, the 40MPG little bugger. Sure brought back a lot of memories!

Pictures of our Subaru!

First of all ~

Selamat Hari Raya
Maaf Zahir Batin

After such a long break (sorry), here some the pictures of the Subaru! Currently the Subaru have about 500 miles on it. After further thinking, I decide to have its oil changed when it hits 1,000 miles. Although we're not supposed to until 3,000 miles, the car has been sitting at the lot for who knows how long (since 06) and hey, better be safe than sorry! Oh and the car also celebrated the raya with us (sorry Ford Focus!).





To be honest, we had our eyes on a Mitsubishi Lancer '08 GTS. But the dealership didn't want to sell it to me. They didn't even let me test drive! I came to Jack Miller just so Aishah can test drive a Subaru (to compare with my dad's Forester) and we were treated like kings. They deserve my money, I told myself... Hence the impulse decision of buying the car! Its a good decision, I could tell Aishah's confidence went up 1000% after 3 weeks of owning the car. That's the whole point of the whole purchase anyways.

The pictures are a little outdated as the Subiru (new nickname) wasn't tested under extreme conditions and looked clean and innocent. It went through a lot and is very dirty at the moment (it got rained out during the Raya weekend).

Our first car

Today, 9/21/2007, is the day I got my first paycheck from my new job, and also marks the day I bought my first car. I had many cars to date, but this is the first one I actually bought myself under my name.

Its actually our car. I bought this car for Cah, my wife. Now she will have something to drive when I'm at work and I can give my dad back the Ford Focus after putting about 10k miles on it!

The car is a 2007 Newport Blue Pearl Subaru Impreza 2.5i Special Edition. I'll post the pictures tomorrow when we get the car. They were going to give us the car today but we couldn't get the insurance. Granted it was Friday evening! Given the safety features, I think its the best bang for the buck. It will also be Cah's first car.

Along with the safety features, we opted for a bumper-to-bumper warranty for an extra $1000. This warranty not only covers the car bumper-to-bumper, but it also gives me a piece of mind when Cah is driving it. If she happens to get a flat tire, or out of gas somehow, or just broke down within this 5 years, Subaru will take care of everything and it will be free. I think there's $100 deductible but its better than not having any service. This way I also don't have to worry about having AAA on it.

Well that's it for now, and pictures soon to come! We want to have a custom plate for the car so stay tuned for that!
