No dude, seriously, I was just messing around! I'm not ready for the responsibility of TWO Imprezas! Sorry I wasn't clear!
It would've been fun to screw with people's heads though... "Wait, I thought you had a blue one?"

Well, I didn't go over board on storing the car. I added some gasoline addatives and changed my engine oil after storage. The car was only in storage for several months. The tires were still good.

Are you still looking for a wrx? I say buy a '05 wrx when the '06 comes out. You probably could get some kind a deal.

Yeah, I am looking to get a 2005 WRX, i saw the pictures of the new 2006 Impreza, and they are butt ugly. I will see if I can get a deal, but I think most people are flooding to buy the 05's now because many people dislike the 06's, but then again ...there are some who like it. So the car did not have any problems after you started it uop? Did you disconnect the battery also? And what kind of addatives did you add? I think if I have to store it I will probably not go overboard since I'd be coming home during winter break and other vacations.

haha random... well all i can say, is i topped off all the fluids, and have the car parked on carpet. I try to start her up every two weeks or so, and if its convienient i drive her around the block a couple times. I wasnt too smart with the battery tho, and thus it has died. I am looking into getting a trickle charger when i get the new battery shortly.

A car cover works nicely too, as the 3 months i left mine off, i had a great deal of dust to wash off.

The only thing none of those articles talk about, is how to take care of the driver, while they are staring at their car in the garage!!
