I've been in Hilo and surrounds for over a week now, and I've seen a lot of imprezas (more WRXs than I expected!) but they're all sedans -- I haven't seen a single 02/03/04 wagon yet. What gives?

(I'm here on business, working 7 days a week 10-12 hours a day . . . ug . . . only 2 more weeks to go . . . )

Edit: ug applies to work, not the island. I think I'd be a lot less unhappy about having to work all the time if I was in Toledo or something.

 

i would say 1 out of the 6 wrx's i see in the span of two days are wagons, i'm in oahu tho...

 

i agree. and i get to see mine everyday.

 

In the bay area it seems like it's a lot closer to 50/50. But maybe I'm biased . . .

(and I sure wish I had my WRX wagon here instead of this Saturn! I'd love to drive it up Mauna Kea.)

 

yah my gf mentions a lot of wagon sightings in the bay area.
oahu does have a few people with wagons, but not sure how the big island is

 

Even though you are working, you make me jelous. I love the big island. I WILL live there some time. There is no other place I enjoy more than Kona.

 

I'd love to take the day off on Friday, so if you can drop by, sys admin a few Linux boxes for me, throw together a survey program for my automation program, and run up to the summit to swap out a motherboard, I'd be happy to trade with you for the day! (Someone shoot me.)

 

you are in hilo. . . thats where i'm from! how much longer there?
i have a house out there in keaau. have u been out to volcanoes yet?

 

My secret hope is that wagons remain the exception and not the rule.

 

always and forever will be. . . that new vdub might resurrect their end- which is funny that people will consider theirs a "hatchback" when the 2 are the same...(in a kinda sorta way)

 

I escape on next Thursday unless they try to make me stay longer. I'n actually staying in a house on the shore near Keaau until Sunday. I hope to see Volcanoes, but probably not, I haven't had a day (or night) off in 3 weeks . . . at this point I just want to get enough done that I can go home, and return at some later date for vacation. It would be nice to see more of the island than where I work and sleep.

 

I finally saw two WRX wagons my last day, an 02/03 white one and an 04 silver. At least some people in Hilo have good taste! Nice island, I really hope to return sometime (on my own time) and explore a bit. It's nice to be home and driving my WRX instead of a rental Saturn though!
