Default Yep it's true.....

Looks like I'll be comming back to the V8 world again. After looking at the future of Subaru's designs, I'm finally gonna save for the vette. My orignal plan was to buy either another suby and mod the hell out of current one OR keep this one as is (no more modding) and get the vette. I saw the newer styling of the future Impreza line ups and that made my choice EASY. I see a vette in my future. Now all I need is a garage to store it. Anyone know somebody that puts up garages cheap with good quality? Reccomendations?

That's the 06 version. I have an 04. I like the 04 much more......it's a kind of raw look, not re-designed if you will.

Yeah it is.

That's a pretty looking sports car if I've ever seen one. I think "weak" is a good word to use.

He had a real car, and wrecked it

He's just getting back into the game. His STI is no slouch though, for an import.

Knowing him...you see that black car I posted up above, it will probably look a little like that

I don't want a used car. I'd prefer a new one. One that has a warranty that can go fast. The new car won't be driven much anyways. I'm keeping the STi for winter and rainy conditions.

Looks about right. Only I want blk wheels. So, that leaves black on black OR yellow on black.

I picked up road and track or something cause i saw an article on the new wrx. Ive always liked them as far as non domestics go, but the last year def went down in appeal, and this new one thats coming out is just ugly, and its not any faster than the current model. The new model just looks weak

Yeah. The new model is just plain UGLY. It made me think of a Acura CL raping a Corola. Just stupid. I also heard that the upcommiong STi's are only comming as hatchbacks. Makes me want to vomit!! They need something like the 22B they sold over seas. I'd DEFINATLY buy one of those if they ever came to the US, but that would NEVER happen. So, without the 22B here in the US it looks like Z06.
