Sup fellow i-Clubers,
im going to tell you guys/girls straightforward,
im thinking of putting my car in storage... maybe because I think my eyes are heading towards the Miata side haha. I dont know but ive been looking at the Miatas lately and they kind of look like a mini FD and I always wanted to own a convertible car haha.
also im tired of getting pulled over and I fell like I cant drive places where I wont be harassed by cops or thinking that I will be pulled over.
Im not to sure yet... I have BIG plans for the GM4 but I need to save money by not getting pullover, so yeh im going to check one out tomorrow morning and if I like it then I would have to go for it just to save up and make my GM4 dream.
Hay ill just be out of the Suby scene for ONLY 2 years. ooh time to buy a car cover that would fit my wing.

why not do this...
step 1. remove stickers. i know there's a lot but it needs to be done.
step 2. get recon. shouldn't be too hard.
step 3. stop speeding. cmon it's a GM4, just stop flooring it and you'll be fine.
step 4. enjoy knowing that cops won't pull you over all the time and you'll be saving money

Car Info: STi (cornering, accelerating and braking hard).
I'm a self professed STi/Miata owner. I actually drove my STi at SCCA Solo events for 1.5 years, but it got too expensive to keep running it.
I got a Miata and having even more fun racing it than the STi. There's something about making a slow car go fast that is a total blast.
Plus, Miatas are easy to mod and very cheap running. I can do almost all work on the car myself w/very basic tools. Lastly, they're just about bullet-proof and just keep going no matter how hard to drive them. Trust me...I drive my car hard.
Here's pix at the most recent event.

Here's my STi from a few seasons ago.

Maybe you'll actually find time to come out and race with us!!!
Congrats again,look forward to seeing your big plans for your Impreza!!
