Let me save you some time and money, you'll never be able to have the latest and greatest for longer than 6 months, the newness wears off, the honeymoon is over, that's when real car love happens, lol. Take it from me, I've owned 26 different cars in the past 10 years.

I've kind of seen the same thin, or at least heard a lot of talking about it. It seems like the new WRX or STI is the car people want to switch to.

I want to keep mine for a long while, but knowing myself I'm not sure how long that'll be. I normally tend to keep my DDs for no longer than 2.5 years. I still feel like I have a lot of exploring to do with the car. I've only driven it 10.5k miles in 17 months. But I don't drive it in the Winter, which may prolong its stay with me.

For me there are just way too many cars and enough garage space to hold everything I want.

If it was legit, I would too. Unfortunately, damn near all of them are scams. I looked at the email since I had sent out some req's earlier in the year but when they immediately ask you for contact info to include address and... age, red flags go up.

I started saving money for a car 3 years ago. I didn't know what to get but I knew what kind of car I wanted. My problem was the car didn't exist yet. A friend of mine told me about the frs/brz and almost everything matched what I was looking for.

I wanted a company I could rely on and knew a good dealership-Subaru.
I wanted a sporty car but still had room for things.
I wanted something under 30k including tax-Premium.
I wanted to be the sole owner.

I'm still glad I made the purchase to this day.

When I get a better job/own a home I plan on also purchasing an Sti. That doesn't mean I'm getting rid of my brz though.

hey now….It's not my fault I work weekends <~highway mash face

I would if my car wasn't busted up

What's the most convenient drag strip for the DC area? I wanted to try and get a run or two in before the season's over with my car the way it is now.
