Josh, we go back a loooooong way. Remember 5 years ago when we first joined and the RS was the fastest Subie in the states... We could only DREAM of an STi... and now its a reality.

(Though I still wish we would have gotten our old body style STi's... the GC6-8)

yeah, we do go back a long way. i feel like such an elder around here....

i still wish i had the old gc. that would have been the bomb car for you.

man, the hours i used to dream about owning a true sti in the states. and just as you said, it is FINALLY coming true. my wife has been makinf fun of me cuz its all i can talk about right now. she is truly happy for no other reason that i might finally stop bugging her about sti's. until the spec c arrives :P

i guess i might go to the thursday night reno meet this week... i need to talk suby for hours on end....

uggg, the bug has bit me again...(qactually it is more like a reoccuring disease that gets stronger with each bite..)

finally, an STi will be mine. WRB, 04 ~7800 miles. almost no options (thankfully) and as clean as the day it left the showroom floor. the owner (fairoakssti on the sac region iclub) never drove it in the rain(!!!!!).

anyway, i am excited, and anxious to pick it up. i am also excited about some minor but worthwhile mods. vishnu, here i come ;P

Congrats, man. fairoakssti is an awesome guy. Did he finally sell it because his wife hated the wing so much? He came out to one of our meets last year and gave us all a ride in the car. Hope you enjoy the car.

While we swapped the wing off, he was still getting a lot of attention on the streets from the boy racers. I'm sure that had something to do with it. That and his wife was never very happy with the purchase.

Ahh, poor guy. Maybe he'll end up with something like a G35c then - an awesome compromise between speed and luxury for that price.
