Smile Future WS6 Owner

Hey guys, I am joining up early so I can get an idea of the in's and out's of the car. To put a long story short, I have wanted a TA since I was in 7th grade, and it is quite possibly going to be my next car. However, I'm probably going to wait until I turn 26 (almost 20 now) when my insurance rates go down. I spend most of my time at www.rs25.com, and I recently submitted this thread: http://www.rs25.com/forums/showthrea...ight=nostalgia

Cars I own:

'92 Civic lx- first car, completely stock except for alpine head unit. I can still sell it for twice what I bought it for, with gas prices and all.
'01 Impreza RS- stock exterior and interior, a few performance mods. The car is a lot slower than it looks. I'm probably losing 30% through the AWD drivetrain.

I think 7 years should be plenty of time to learn the ins and outs of the cars.

I'm 23, clean record, and I pay 90 bucks a month for the Formula, its set up as a secondary leisure vehicle. The powerstroke is set up as the daily driver, but since its 11 years old, its only 90 bucks a month. So I'm paying 180 for full coverage on two vehicles.
