Default Feels like a New car

We get a lot of threads about how the Impreza has died and how its not the fastest car on the road any more.

I got a very small issue fixed the other day .. (broken Locking nuts) and changed my slighty worn front tyres with my back. It also stopped a squeek I was getting from the back of the car.. something I assumed was a sticking hand brake.

I also gave the car a quick wash and it shines like its show room new!!

It feels like I'm driving a whole new car ! it runs quicker, it feels smoother and it sounds better !!

Probably just about to break down but still its refreshed my love in my car !!

to the Impreza !!
