Hello world!

I couldn't really find an "introduce yourself" thread so I made my own, figured since I'd be spending some time here I might as well introduce myself.

Bought my Satin White Pearl 2012 WRX 5-door a little over two months ago, and I love it. Upgraded from a 2011 VW GTI, as I found myself needing 4 doors and a little more cargo space.

Even though I'm not really good at it, I enjoy motorsports, and have done various track events on the GTI and two so far on my WRX, Thunderhill and Laguna Seca. Really enjoying the way that the WRX handles as opposed to my old car, and am definitely looking forward to picking up more AWD skills.

Outside of cars I picked up what's most likely the other worst hobby to have - photography. I'm terrible at it but I enjoy doing it, so I think there's a trend here. Other than that I'm like your typical Asian geek, video games, hanging out with buddies, etc.

Was looking at NASIOC, but this site seems so much more lively.

Yeah, but you can't be terrible either or you could be sitting in a tow truck as your only way home...

I really liked the design when I was shopping for a car last year but a few things happened and I ended up with a VW. I realized the error of my ways a few months ago and ended up ordering one anyway. I don't know how easy it would be to find someone willing to swap cloth for my leather seats though, that's about the only thing I wish was different...

Welcome! For Bay Area people, I-club is better for daily activity and BSing with people. For information, Nasioc has more.
