    Hello everyone my name is Billie :wavey: I'm in the Air Force stationed at Langley AFB, VA. I joined the boards because I will be coming down to ATL for 3 weeks for training and I'll be in the Buckhead area. I am looking forward to being in a different area for a bit and seeing what the South East Subie community is all about :)

    I drive an '06 SpecB and my husband has a built '08 STI. I'll post a couple pics, but I'll start a journal for the mods and picture whoring :wiggle:

    That is a really nice Legacy! And your husband's STi is pretty awesome too.

    love the tag on STi - welcome aboard

    nit-picking here, but anyway you can change the font off purple? A lot of us run the darkness theme on the site and it's hard to see the purple text on the gray background

    Very nice! My wife and I are also a Legacy/Impreza family, though her Legacy is a stock '06 SE, and I've taken my '05 OBS in a very different direction than your husband's STI:

    Thanks everyone!

    lol...sorry about the purple....it's a habit, I am on about 8 different forums and I use purple on every single one :cool:

    I came up with both plates......I was surprised at how creative I got. Mine is my favorite though....it says LXRYSTI

    Thanks :) Believe it or not the STI stays like that all the time too. That is my husbands favorite thing to do.....he cleans it at least once every 2 or 3 days....it is his "man time" :rofl:

    His dedication shows - that is one *very* clean STI. I love the plate too... the FL4T is brilliant saying "flat" and "flat 4" at the same time. Mine is less creative, simply "CMAGS".
     
  8. Welcome!

    Since you're up north... are you on SubieGirls.com? Would be great to have another SubieGirl on WRXAtlanta!

    Always great to see another husband and wife team of enthusiasts. My hubs and I both drive 04 WRX's.

    Welcome. I really dig your SpecB and wouldn't mind having one myself. Your husband's STi is nice as well.

    Thanks!


    Just wondering though guys......how are the cops down there? For those of you that have been to VA, you know what I am am coming from so I don't think anything could be any worse than here.....but do they leave you alone as long as you are blending in? Cops like to mess with me even when I am doing nothing wrong :(

    Depends, if in Cobb county they just shoot first and cover up later

    Finally got here last night. 8 hours and 20 minutes....yuck. Holy shit though it is so confusing to get around....lol. Tried to go to the Lenox mall about a mile up the road and by the time I went there and target I wish I walked....lol.

    Yes. Roads here are atrocious.

    Can anyone recommened a decent car wash (prefer to wash it myself) near Peachtree Rd?

    A great tip is to NOT try to understand the road naming convention. After I got to the intersection of Acworth Due West, Kennesaw Due West, Due West, and Due west and you have to turn off of Due west to get onto Due West...I gave up.

    This is what happens when you rely on GT undergrads to develop a traffic plan for ATL.
     
  22. Cactus Carwash on Piedmont. A+ service.

    Few days too late ;) Already been there. Was kinda upset when I got there and saw it wasn't touchless......but I didn't know where else to go...

    If you have an Android phone - Google Maps Navigation FTW! Rarely let me down while I navigated the sprawl that is Atlanta and outlying regions. Been here for about 3 months - it does get better.

    You think its confusing to get around down here? Did you ever get comfortable with driving in the 64/264 bridge tunnel bridge tunnel bridge maze that surrounds the hampton roads area?

    It took me SO long to get used to all that up there. And no, cops are no where near as bad down here as they are up there. Neither is the traffic!

    Been in Hampton Roads for almost 6 years....could drive it with my eyes closed. And actually all in that area is 64/264/564/664and 464....lol.

    There is more traffic here....BUT traffic is worse at home because we are backed up for longer periods of time and for no reasons at all...just because people can't keep up speeds in the tunnels. Here there is more traffic.....but it moves much smoother....key word being MOVES. LOL!
