No, I'm still just the Baby Sister of the STi. Hopefully later on I will be giving my Big Brother a run for his moneyhnoes: , LOL.
that is awesome! I think I saw you leaving SOG one day when I was just pullin in...I was thinking, that girls' WRX sounds mean!
Hehehe, I used to keep all my stock parts cus I was paranoid to get rid of them. When WJM and I merged all our car parts when we moved in together I kinda lost what's mine and what's his. Now he's either stolen them for himself or they are sold/up for sale. Looking for anything in particular?
Cool, I will keep an eye out for you. I think we should all ride around with those "Hello my name is..." tags on our cars with our screen names on them, LOL. I am terrible at remembering who's who.
good idea..lol does wrxatlanta ever have any plain ol 'meets', as opposed to install days, seafood, etc. ? We need one, I'd like to meet everyone and stick my head in peeps cars, etc.
I think most of the meets now are based on those two events. I guess the people who show up to meets around here are the same group of people and they already know what everyone else has. Last night we spent a little bit of time looking at each other's cars and going for rides after dinner. It really is better to do it that way because people are less likely to get bored and hang out for a while. You should come out. The next meet will be in 2 weeks.
Hehehe, sorry but I am already taken. But thanks for the props on the car. When will we get to see you around state side?
It's ok. I'm actually taken too. But I think she knows I didn't mean that. I may be home in September, October... December, January... I can't say now because it's still too early in the deployment but one things for sure. I'm getting that Spec C roof vent if I have to cut the damn roof open myself. That and as long as SoFlaAuto comes through for me, which he will. Can't wait though that's for sure.
Yay! Maybe I'll catch a ride. Hmmm... would you rather be here in the warmer months or colder months.. that is the question? I guess it doesn't matter with AWD.. oh, and there's no place like GA, but anywhere in the US is better than where you are now! Can't wait either!! .
