Yup. More and more ricer mods. I saw a pig nose WRX on the road today with an Evo wing.

yep I believe the crowd is getting younger...a lot of people that are mature and have owned subarus for a while probably switched to something more else maybe more luxurious?

Definitely yes. Not just on the road but also on the boards. Specifically over the last 2 years there has been a huge difference to me and it just doesn't feel the same as it did when UCKK was first started. I know things must change and or get bigger. But the way it's gone makes me not really want to come out and drive my car anymore for fear some moron is gonna try to take me out while trying to race me.

As they become more affordable naturally younger kids will be driving them. There was a time when Integra Type Rs, Supras, etc... were only driven by responsible older adults.

well im still 18, and yeah i got my wrx when it was a lot cheaper so i could afford it. but i assure you that, not everyone young subie driver is a ricer/newb. ive started lurking on i-club in 2004, and noticed that most of the members were at least 20yo or up and were totally against street racing. ive noticed in the recent years that things have changed. no matter, my love for subaru isn't going to be affected by some of the douche bags that drive them. i just dont want all of you guys to stereotype the younger generation of subie drivers into newbz and ricers. some of us aren't all that bad. some of us
