hahha I was at the point on wanting to up the STi as well.
Then I bought at 99 civic to daily drive as my commute is 60 miles a day. Now I drive the STi on the weekends and it feels so much better

Its a different kind of fun. A more practical every day legal fun. I miss getting kicked back into my seat but I would only really smash in the sti maybe once or twice a week. In the brz I look forward to every corner, but I still wish it was faster. :/

Car Info: ...zeh car drives you!
For the first time in my life I drove a mini-van this week. It was my only rental car choice that meet my needs. No SUVs or full size sedans were left by the time I arrived.
I have ****ing idea how people drive these things out of their own free will. Lazy transmission, no brake/steering/handling/whatever feel or ability...so on and so forth.
Almost anything after that felt like
cannot even imagine how epic an STi would feel
