Enough with the stupid comments, dudes.
My name is Zara and I'm the All-Girl instigator. My current car is a 2007 Legacy 2.5i Limited. I've been on the forums since before the i-club "break-up". This is my 8th Subaru, and 13th car. It's a disease, really. My husband and I are like heroin addicts, but with cars instead of real drugs. Can someone develop a 12-step program already???

Does that count as a stupid comment? ;x

Even though we're down to 2 of them now, I'd really like a 10 car garage and start collecting them! Anyways, the 04 FXT is my jack of all trades... it's seen rally-x, auto-x, various navigational & TSD rallies (on and off-road), has been down the drag strip a few times, and has served us well as a road trip vehicle in 4 states. 86k miles and still going strong!

how were you launching, hopefully not D drops, brake torque though right?

Always good to hear about another girl racing, my girlfriend races with me and my buddies a lot, super cool
