Gearhead who's been wanting a Subaru for quite some time...PICS!

Hell folks,

I have been lurking around on this site for a while now and I FINALLY got my self a nice little rex. I have driven and setup many different cars for autox and HPDE duty, but nothing has ever been more satisfying than driving a subie at full tilt on a track. That changed me and I knew I HAD to have one to tinker with and enjoy.

Well the time has come and so far I am SUPER STOKED!! I picked up my car yesterday from the original owner and it was (is) completely stock.

As a primer, here are a some of my previous rides








Now onto my new baby!

The day I got her:
2011-03-13_19-01-54_957.jpg?t=1300177457

How she sits at the moment (still pretty stock...)


Lot's more to come!

Thanks folks!

I am loving this car more and more every day. The other day when I washed it (and took a few pics), I was pleasantly surprised by the paint. I had no idea that it had a ton of blue pearl in it! I thought it was just a solid black lol. The weather has been really ****ty, so I can't wait to see the paint in the sun!

And yeah Guillermo, the wheels are 17x7.5.

I have a lot in store for the car. Just have to take it easy, cuz I will easily drop $4k on it in a week

What in the world do you do for a living in order to be able to spend four thousand dollars on a car in a week?
I work at a damn Domino's Pizza chain delivering pizzas. It takes me 3 months to scrounge 500 bucks to spend on it. >.<
I need to hurry up and graduate college or something.

Note the bold part You hit the nail on the head.

When I was in college, I spent most of my money on my cars even when I was only making $12/hr. I just can't help it!

I worked my *** off, got a degree, and aimed for a job in the motorsports feld. Currently, I work in International Sales for GoPro. I handle our Asian, Pacific, Central and South American markets.
