2005 STI RA Spec C and 05 STI test drive at the Dealer

I was on my way back from Naha and this car caught my eye. It's not everyday you see a 05 STI RA Spec C. Man, I want one!










Last Sunday the 30th of Jan. I test drove the 05 STI at the Subaru Dealer in Naha and loved it. the handling, braking, new car smell. Just loved it. I am thinking about purchasing one. A couple of buddies and my daughter came with me.









here is us at the Subaru Dealer parking garage.

Japan>America probably the only other country I'd live in, just to not have to deal with rustangs and SRT-4s on a day to day basis is worth moving alone, Plus I love sashimi, sushi, soba, Miso, and saki. come to think about it, I'm going to drive the wrex to california, sell it and swim over. I'll be there in about 6 months, keep a light on for me.
