Welcome to BFC, Donzo. There's a lot to learn and share here.

Nice ride! :thumbup:

I still have my 04 WRX. She will still bring a smile to my face.
 
Damn Subaru's. Overrated if you ask me...


:D


Sadly, the STi is the wifes :(

None of the ones I've driven have been remotely fast, but they all handle pretty well. I don't know if its the AWD that causes the "on rails" feel in turning.

The Boxer engine puts the center of gravity closer to the ground where it belongs. :cool:.
 
Mr. Clean, That's a gorgeous wife you have!

'08 WRX 5-door here :D

Bought a 2011 Outback in October. It has been excellent so far. Handles great on slick roads and getting 26 mpg. Only one road trip this winter, but it fit 5 dudes with minimal complaining.
 
I'm thinking about getting a Subaru to carry around in the back of my Suburban. Sort of an EDC spare vehicle, you know. Good stuff. :thumbup:
 
Subaru convert here. My Legacy is like a Sherman tank in the New England snow, and that's just the icing on the cake. I love everything else about the car too, but just for the peace of mind in bad weather, my next car will be a Subaru as well.
 
I'm #43 on NASIOC and own a 99 RS RBP currently in storage after my turbo set-up fell apart. If it weren't for my current knife obsession, I'd be at least 1/3 of the way to an STI swap :)
 
#43???????? Wow... when did you join? '99? lol

You're considered a dinosaur compared to the other 200k+ other members. I joined in '05 and got in before the 100k member mark and people consider me "OG". lol

Is that complicated on a left hand drive car? Or is it a straight swop from a Version 5/6 STI?
 
Mine in the show last winter:

And this is what happens when a drunk runs you off the road in the middle of the night:

Not a scratch on the car, just a broken wheel... that little incident made my wallet very sad.

And since this is a knife forum:

I love my 08 WRX with a Cobb Tuning access point at Stage 1 tune and SPT exhaust with better Hawk brake pads to slow me down!!!!!
 
I had a '68 Subaru FF-1 Star, then a 72 GL Coupe (kept 11 years). Yes, I was there in their earlier days :)
