New STI owner in Sacramento

Just want to say hi and find out when the next get together is. I just bought an 06 STI a few months ago and am looking to meet other STI/WRX owners in the sacramento area.

Thanks soggynoodles & midnitewrx02! I hope to find a new home and heard this is where Sacramento area people hang out. I've spent the last 4 years on the Audiworld forum modifying an Audi A4 1.8t which my wife is driving now. She loves it. It's so funny to see a 4'9" asian woman driving a souped up A4 with a pretty sporty exhaust tone.

Anyway, I'm excited to finally have an STI. Now I just need to learn how to keep my foot out of it cause my gas mileage is teh suck!

How do you see what mods people have done to their cars on this forum? Shouldn't people post it in their public profile?

hey what's happening. The Saturday meets have limited attendance from Subaru owners as of late (we're all busy, married, have kids, etc, now) but other people show up to it as well. We occasionally have events independant of the meet, like drives, or parties so keep your eyes open for that.

Welcome to the forums.

Most of the people on Audiworld would put their mods in their signatures. I found it very helpful when someone is asking for help. It's also nice to immediately get a picture of what the person is driving. I'll go take a look at your mods now!

I like what you've done! The wheels look easy to clean, which I'm growing to appreciate, after having 2 cars that take me longer to clean the wheels than the rest of the car.

Did you move to CA from NY recently?

Hello Derwood, I'm a fellow FNG that's been posting here only about four months. As you will learn, the Sac/Reno regional forum is populated with a bunch of pranksters and smart-asses, though it's really just harmless and good-natured joking around. I've been learning this lesson the hard way. For your sake I hope you have a strong constitution and the uncanny ability to spot sarcasm and irony, or else you will be joining me as an undergraduate of the "School of Hard Knocks".
