The more I stare at the Subaru Levorg, the more I'm wishing they bring this stateside as the WRX wagon. Stupid name, subtle styling, get rid of the chrome and add some fender flares and this will be my dad-mobile

What car did you come from? I find the lack of torque down low annoying, but I came from driving a TT V6 Audi. I may be an odd man out here, but to me 200hp/200tq would make this car very nice.

Before the FR-S I was driving my 07 Scion tC (161hp/2901lbs), before that I had a 96 Probe GT (164hp/2921lbs).

consider getting a tune like OFT or Ecutek. It doesn't make the car feel like a V6 but it does help the torque down low considerably... as many people describe it, it makes the car feel like it should have felt from the factory.

Looking for an Internship...

Alright I'm gonna get straight to the point ~ cuz I have nothing to lose...


I've been looking for a Creative Internship (Copywriting) for a few months now and have had no luck...


Anyone here work, or knows someone, at an Advertising Agency in the Bay Area (I'm in San Jose) looking that would have a spot for an intern? Doesn't have to be an Ad Agency, but one would be nice.


I'm not looking to get $$$, I'm just literally starving for some experience... SERIOUSLY though I'm not looking to get paid, I just wanna build my portfolio and gain some experience.


Graduated from San Jose State Univ. with a B.S. in Advertising.


PM me please for my Resume or if you have ANYTHING!


Thanks!
