Newbie from Bay

Recently purchased a 2009 Impreza Premium with 48k miles from Dublin Toyota for the wife for a really good price.

Already met a couple of you guys, thanks for the all weather mats and the 17" Outback wheels.

Since these pics, I've added prepainted mudguards, rubber trunk mat, and trunk side cargo nets. Wife loves the car, and I am happy knowing she's in a safe, reliable vehicle.

As for me.. sooner or later I'll get a Subie too. Still rocking a 1994 Corolla LOL

I've never taken pics of the Corolla for some reason, maybe cuz it's just a oh so dependable and practical econobox that doesn't get any attention whatsoever LOL. I however did give it a cheap paintjob, lowered on tokico blues, H&R springs, and the discontinued OZ Superleggeras.

I will try to get my wife to take the Impreza out to meets haha

Some of my previous cars, now all gone

1988 MR2 n/a



1999 Mustang GT w/ a Kenne Bell Supercharger

Thanks. Believe it not, that's my Playstation Network Gamer Tag. Everyone usually has killer names like slayer this, killa that, so I thought why not be different with a gamer tag that's simple and lame so the first thing that came to my mind was tub_of_butter LOL

Thanks. Yeah, also had an 03/04 cobra rear bumper with the "COBRA" shaved and 99/00 Cobra euro tailights with the amber signals, and Saleen S351 spoiler. Oh yeah, the reason why the wheels are tucked is because I also swapped the rear live axle with an independent rear suspension set up from a 2004 Cobra It was lowered on specially tuned Bilsteins from Maximum Motorsports and H&R springs. I was more into the "handling" aspects than straight line acceleration but got bored of it and decided to sell it

I miss it too, had 236k miles and still drove great. Buddy Clubs, Tokico blues, green Suspension Technique springs. Problem was, I never cared for red cars, and decided to get rid of it. Thought about putting in a blacktop 4age 20valve engine but then was like meh...and sold it to a friend. Great car for sure.
