Two things: make sure to run winter tires in the winter. This is NOT optional in NJ with this car. Save up, sell some boards, get a part time job. Just get winter tires. And the second thing: good luck with insurance! They totalled it once - I doubt they will sell you a full coverage on it now. If you wreck it, that's your wreck you own. See how it works about if someone steals it too. No surprises.

Congrats on the car. My first car was a 14 year old beater sedan with 130hp V8. Luckily Mother Nature had lightened the car for me in the way of massive rust. I got a WRX as my first new car a few years after college. It's lasted me 11 years but I bought my BRZ 2 years ago. It's a fun car at any price point. You gotta respect this car because things can get out of hand pretty quickly even in experienced hands. Better to point to videos online of people doing cool stuff drifting the twins around than to try it yourself and be that kid who wrapped his car around a tree is now taking the bus to school.
