Das BoostWagon. 08 LR STi
Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to start up a thread on the Lightning Red 08 STi that I purchased. Overall, I'm having a great time with the car. Handling is superb and engine response is amazing. I got the car last weekend and have not stopped driving it, going up to Yreka,CA (Don't Ask, it's a small @$$ town. lol) and back. So far I have taken off the Subaru/Impreza emblems. I have had some issues though unfortunately and the car is now in the shop. Here are the newest pix:

Glad I at least made it home before the breakage:

yeah everyone keeps saying thats a random thing, I'm hoping it was a fluke too. Either that or I'm gonna give up the beast and take up basket-weaving. lol.

Wanting to know if that wheel that snapped the half shaft was an inside wheel when you were doing the u-turn as you described?

Yep it was the inside wheel during the U-Turn...Heard from the dealership yesterday, the car should be fixed by Weds. or Friday at the latest (due to Thanksgiving). More info as I get it later...

P.S> Please don't ever rent a Corolla, it's prolly the worst car I've ever driven. I can't even fit in the damn thing and I'm only 6'0 tall. I'm sorry if you own one.

peace.
