    It was a hot summer day in Loganville and I was on the way back from the GYM. Feeling tired but thrilled with my newly installed 4 point roll bar, I was cruising up a hill on 78. Limp Bizkit came on 99x and I lunged at the radio to turn the station before my head exploded. Just then, I crested the hill to the ass end of a mid 80's buick and .........BAM

    In the blink of an eye my beloved Strato Blue Miata was no more! The next day I would call BRP Racing and cancel my Stage 1 supercharger order. This would have given me somewhere in the neighborhood of 170 RWHP in a car that weighed just under 2500lbs. Ah well, it was not meant to be. Just a few short months later we would find out my wife was pregnant!


    So.......here comes the sedan!

    I had wanted a WRX since I first saw the Road and Track article that it was coming to the states. AWD...turbo...what more could one ask for?

    The first thing I had to do was upgrade the stereo. Since that was my biggest complaint with the Miata, and it was easy to fix in the REX.
