Came to my senses, keeping my STI that I put back to stock to sell. Now its getting its 5th turbo installed next week. Everyone who bought my old stuff that doesnt want it anymore hit me up!

some people are idiots and think just because they can 'afford' a WRX or STI, or similar, they can afford to maintain it. it's a big difference.
also, they can't drive, and break trannies, rear diffs, etc, and are shocked that the dealer won't warranty the parts. granted, this is a real ego killer because most people are under the general assumption they can drive just fine, but this is not the case.
i'm not slamming people who break parts under normal conditions. but being able to afford a vehicle and then being able to afford maintenence are two totally separate things.
my friend sold his STI because after he was hit with a 1K brake job (oem everything from the dealer, pads+rotors), he realized, that a sports car of that caliber was difficult to maintain. i told him 'WTF do u expect?! u don't get that kind of performance for nothing!'
and he realized i was right.

if i wanted ONLY a commuter car then yeah a honda would do just fine...but IMO... Hondas arent very good performace cars unless its an S2k (i want one
) or an NSX
