    Well, this is now my third Subaru. After moving to Asheville, I don't know that I will own another brand. My last was an '02 wagon which will be missed, but with 138,000 miles on her, it was time to move on. I searched for about 2 months and drive around 400 miles to Ohio to pick up this certified pre-owned 2009 WRX sedan. I've wanted this color since the STi came out in 2008. Here are some pictures I stole from the dealers site to start.

    Future Plans:
    I just sold my AP from my last car, and would like to get one for this car.
    I would also like to at least get a downpipe to start, just to run stage 2.
    Maybe some driving lessons to adjust the nut behind the wheel.
    Next tighten the suspension a bit, and work on the handling.
    After I have a place to store wheels, get dedicated winter tires, and then a set of summer wheels and tires maybe a bit wider than stock.

    Thanks for looking,
    Chris

    That's all for now.

    Picked up an Invidia header, up pipe, and catted down pipe just after Christmas. I got an AP shortly after I got my car. Now I'm running Stage 2.

    Last night I decided to drive down to Commerce just to see where I am at. I ran full weight, with all season tires. LOL
    But my best run I managed a 13.463 @ 103.91
    Not a bad start I guess.

    For now, either fold down the back seat and put in the trunk, or just in the back seat with the front wheel off.

    Mud flaps would be NICE!
