My first car was a Subaru

It was a '73 two door sedan. I also had an '80 subaru Brat (reliable but absolutely gutless) and an '82 sedan which was a great car until I was rearended on an icey road one winter night. Now I'm looking into going all the way with a 2006 STI.

Thumbs up Of course in between the Subis I had..........

a variety of other cars including a V8 Vega, supercharged '69 Chevelle, supercharged 82 Chevy pickup and a supercharged and nitrous injected '69 Corvette. I presently have a '90 Daytona Carrol Shelby turbo and an '83 Bonneville my dad bought new the now has a little 305 but last year it had a 500 Cadillac engine with a turbo 400 trans, all stock except for dual exhaust and Edelbrock intake. That was an impressive setup. At new england dragway in Epping N.H. it turned a 14.8 et with 2.29 gears and way too much wheel spin off the line. I only had time to make one run but I am convinced that with a little practice it would have run low 14s easy.

Car Info: '04 WRX 5sp(stock right now)
lets see here, starting from when I traded my '03 wrangler in march '05. Then I had a '03 350Z(bought it for $22,900 traded in w/ 13,000 more miles, six months later for $22,750) then a '04 Supercharged Xterra SE and now I have my '04 WRX. I've wanted a wrx though forever so I think I plan on keeping this for awhile.

Car Info: 1998 Subaru Outback Sport
Smile

First car was a 1989 pontiac 6000 STE AWD, great first car, parents bought it new in the fall of '88...sold it to our mailman with 185K on it and my parents still see it every day as it delivers the mail. Second car was a 1995 Mercury Mystique LS V6, my personal favorite - lead my parents to start buying Germans and they'll never go back. It was in a car accident at 143K and currently getting rebuilt, I love my CDW27 EuroFords! My fun toy is my 2001 Pontiac TransAm WS6...was an "early graduation" gift from my mom. Still got her...
Then comes my Subie. I got spoiled driving my mom's '04 Audi A6 2.7T after my accident and wanted an AWD car for myself. Audis were out of my price range, and I can't afford the gas on SUVs...so when I found my 1998 Outback Sport, I jumped on it. I hate the color (Acadia Green or something like that) but it was the right price, and is the perfect college vehicle.

Car Info: 2006 Impreza 2.5 Sport Wagon
First car was a 1992 Honda Civic LX 4-door that I walked to a grocery store job for a year to save up for, haha. Learned how to drive standard on that, and it was actually a fun car, but at that age I would have been satisfied with anything. That bit the dust during winter break a few years ago during winter break with two weeks before school starting. I commute every day to college, so I needed something quick. My mom found a deal on a 2002 Hyundai Accent and she helped out big time to pay for it, so I went with it. This summer I got a better paying job, so went with the 2006 Impreza 2.5 wagon. My family has actually always been a Nissan family ever since my dad bought a B210 when he was in his youth, but I have loved Subarus ever since I got Speedvision on my cable provider and saw rallying when I was like 13. Then when the first Gran Turismo came out, that certainly helped, haha. Love my car so far, and I think the boxer sound, amongst everything else will make me a loyal customer, save for the rare event I can afford the next GT-R when they bring it out in the states.
