Life before my STi
1st car was a new 68 Bug. Loved it till my sister crunched it. My Subi reminds me of the fun I had with it. My Ex and I had 2 Legacy Wagons. She still drives the last one. Now my daily is an Explorer. Yea, I drive one, but it's functional and I don't pull the typical SUV driver ***p. So my 04 is my fun car. Stays in the garage mostly, until I need to yahoo........... That's why my plates say STI4FUN. And we all know it's MUCH more than just fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car Info: 03 WRX Sedan MBP/17X7.5 SSR Comps/225 Kumho MX
1969 Austin Healey Sprite (first car, sigh. I loved this ragtop car even though I had to fix something that broke or wore out every other weekend. The dual SU carbs were a kick to tune)
1976 Ford Pinto (bad paint, dissolving fuel lines, window cranks that broke off in my hand, what a POS, I hated this car. I had to replace the timing belt while pulled off of the freeway. Replaced the camshaft and radiator on my driveway. Barely got 72K miles on it before it was ready for the junkyard.)
1981 Toyota Starlet (reliable rear-wheel drive, but limp 1300 CC engine wore out at 124K miles. Got 37 MPG, but was so slow that I dreaded every freeway onramp. POS, for sure)
1984 Ford Aerostar (faithful, but unglamorous suburban workhorse. My only complaint was the underpowered braking)
1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Turbo (my daily driver before the 03 WRX. I still miss the low center of gravity and perfect steering on this one. I drove it for 260K miles. The stock radio/CD/cassette was a no-name unit built by BOSE! A revolutionary car for it's time. New Eclipses were too fat and slow, so I bought the WRX Sedan)
1998 Ford Ranger (surprising good handling and quick with the 4.0 six.)
2000 Pontiac Montana (Well, for a soccer mom car, it's the quickest and best handling of that year. This one is a kick to drive around. Really well-matched engine and transmission. I liked it a lot more than the Odyssey for that year.)
