haha. thanks. I really wanted a wrx back in high school when STi-Owns-Evo got me into wrxs, but I didn't have enough money for one. I used to browse the cars for sale forum like everyday. Finally years later, I graduate college, get grad school/job lined up, and I got an incredible deal on financing. I am positively stoked.

Thats crazy! I graduated from UCI in 08, and just bought an 09 WRB WRX 5-door three weeks ago, as my first car purchase ever! Now I'm at grad school on the East coast. We sound like the same person! Any chance you were in the CHP?


So do you have any plans to do anything to the car?

California Highway Patrol? naw. What grad school are you going to and where? im going to UD; and it looks like youre somewhat around that area.

as for plans, i got the car clearbra'd, tinted, installed an oil drain valve.. that pretty much it. trying to leave it stock for when i drive out east. then maybe some suspension, winter tires, summer tires + rims, and maybe a cobb ap after the warrantee burns off.
