Car Info: '05 Impreza Outback Sport ~ "WTF! Two-Toned?"
A 2003 Range Rover with CAI ~ full Borla Exhaust and chipped. Sounded like a friggin' NASCAR ~ the Queen would shudder to think what I did to her 'country car'!
Before then? Porsches, BMW's, MBZs, Saabs, Hondas... NEVER a domestic.
Best car ever? Tie. Porshe 914-6GT and my Subaru. Same simple fun... and plenty quick (driven HARD), both handle like mothers, both pure grins :-)

Car Info: 04 WRX
My last car was a 1996 Ford Mustang GT.
The car I have now is a 2004 WRX Sedan and I love it.
It is alot more reliable than my old mustang and
newer.Right now my WRX is slower than my old mustang
but,that is nothing a turbo upgrade can't fix.
I plan to mod my WRX just like I modded my mustang.
