I don't think I could compete for the title, but I'm doin' my best! Power to the automatic wagons!
.....now that just sounded flat out lame.

Thanks, Joe
New this week:
Hella Supertones replaced the Hella trumpet-type horns.
The new exhaust (kinda dark, I know). Apex'i N1 can, everything else is full custom, 2.5 inch from the Borla headers back. 2.5" Magnaflow hi-flo cat in between the 2 factory O2 sensors, no electronic trickery, no resistor mods, no spacers, and no CEL's after 2 weeks. This thing sounds ridiculous, I love it
As always, thanks to Nate at Subaru Specialists for an absolutely killer job on the exhaust; no rattles, no movement, and it has more clearance than the stock exhaust did under the car, so no worries about dragging it over speed bumps, etc.
And the new rims. 17x7.5 ET48 Rota Actions in Bronze. Tires on there now are Ecsta 711's; will replace them with 070's when I pull them off my other rims. I actually like these wheels considerably more than my Gram Lights; they fit the car perfectly, and the Rota/Kumho combo weighs at least 5 pounds less per corner than the Rays/Bridgestone combo, so acceleration and steering feel are noticably imporved due to lower unsprung weight.

bump........in HP? 
I just picked up a rollover '02 WRX wagon, perfect driveline.
The hooptywagon will get quite a bit quicker over the next few months

More like a passing of the name than a coincedence...I used to run an 02 white wagon, thus the name...I wanted to put it on the plate but neverdid, I sold my car for an STi. Aaron has my full endorsement. :banana:
