Ahhh k... Sounds cool... Although I'd hate to work on Mercs and BMW's cause there's just too much crap in the engine bays ...
Toyota's are much easier but I'd love to work on some nice WRX's...

Yeah i made the mistake in telling them i had an interest in electronics so they want to put me on the Mercedes Team but i spend all my time with the Subaru Boys, whole reason i went for a job there was because of Subaru.
But you see some sad cars come in like a brand new WRX with only 20,000km on it and it got towed in as it wouldn't start and the fault being fouled plugs simply because they don't drive it hard enough. probably never hit boost. but i guess thats one WRX you wouldn't mind buying 2nd hand.

Really??? A car f**ked out because it wasn't being driven hard enough???
I reckon the V6 Camry's go quite hard aswell... I really havn't driven one to see the handling properly but the body structure looks like it would be good...

yup WRX's arn't designed to be driven around like a pussy so if done so plugs foul up and it just wont start, spray some "easy start" shit into the intake manifold and away she goes again. its just sad when you see them come in with the problem makes you wonder why they deserve to have the car.
another thing that pisses me off is when you see WRX come in for its service which has had its arse thrashed off it and the oil doesn't even show up on the dipstick, if you buy a ar like that i would have thought you would take the time to top up the oil every now and then.

Yeah... We get so many cars like that at work... Some ppl don't deserve cars at all... Some come in with no oil, water and filthy as hell...
An AE92 Corolla came in a while ago, in the shittest condition... Engine looked like it had never had a service and the car looked like it have never been detailed in it's life... It was red so the paint was stuffed aswell...
So one of the boys in the office beat me to it and bought the thing for $800!!!
