    Hey everyone!

    Just wanted to give you all a brief introduction. I just recently purchased a 2011 White Satin Pearl WRX STi. It's the sedan model and I'm absolutely in love with it. This is my first Subaru, and hopefully it will be my first of many.

    I upgraded from a 2006 Acura RSX-Type S. The Acura was a good car, but it didn't have the all-out balls to the walls performance that the STi did, not to mention the space.

    I bought the car down in Tampa, FL, where I frequantly make trips to see friends and family. I then drove the car up here to Atlanta, where I currently work.

    I went to the Gwinette thursday meet and met a few folks and had a good time. I plan to attend the Bi-Weekly tuesday meet, so I hope to meet a few more of you there.:)

    I'm still new to the area, so forgive me if I seem geographically challenged. I believe I'm in Fulton county? I'm basically right where Abernathy and Roswell Rd. intersect.

    I moved up here about a year ago, and I've managed to keep it pretty low-key. I've always loved Subarus, but was never apart of the community. I decided to change that when I bought the new ride.

    You'll definitely see me a week after Tuesday, if not at the restaurant, maybe driving around because I am completely lost :eek:

    Cool, I'm right down the street from you, and there are quite a few other guys in this area. Its not that hard to navigate around here you will figure it out quickly.

    where do you work if you dont mind me asking? i work at rubbermaid and I remember seeing a white sti driving by?

    Haha! I work right next door at the Glenlake building! Certainly is a small world :p.

    I work at Transcend Services located in the Glenlake building (I believe its One Glenlake that's next to Rubbermaid). That was most likely me, unless there is another white STi around here I havn't spotted yet.

    If you're down I'm always available to get lunch around noon-ish.

    Sweet! Just let me know when you are free and we'll get together. I usually work from home on Friday's, so I'd be more towards the Roswell Rd. and I285 intersection. But Mon-Thurs I'll be right next door.

    Let me know what works best for you and we'll get together :)

    I'd be more than happy to do that. Since I bought the car I've been looking for excuses to go driving ;)

    Haha! Was good to finally meet you, I've seen that 2015 and have been drooling over it the last few days.

    I'd be down to get lunch sometime too, let me know what days you're available. Work's been chaotic as we've been losing people left and right, so i can't guarentee anything, but would be good to line something up.

    Ain't nobody got time to figure out how old the thread they are bringing back from the dead is.

    Yeah, I decided to start parking up top after picking up about four new door dings on my 06 since I started working in this building. It's the one place I can park like an asshole if I want and no one will care.

    Do you know who has the BRZ up there?

    Also, you should probably come out to meets.

    I hear ya, i'm on the 6th for the same reason. I've met the guy who owns the black BRZ, but I don't know him very well.


    I've been to a few meets a while back, but have been hanging out with the lotus club here at work. There's a nice 08 Exige that parks at our building, he works with me so I can sometimes snag rides in some pretty awesome exotics :)

    The week-day meets are tough for me since traffic, dog, and work but I'll see if I can make it to the next meetup.
