Default New here with ls1 wrx!

Ha just kidding i do own a wrx though i see some people on here dont like them but its good enough for for me now and mostly i love the way it sounds. I really wanted to pick up a camaro but it just didnt fit then but now it does. I cant wait to pay it off soon and buy a z28 or hopefully a ss. Theres a lot of nice cars on here. I live in central nj and just droppin in to say hey! I also own a jeep wrangler.

Oh and also, i will rip any one of your shitty camaros to pieces.
awd ftw!



























haha jk.

Welcome to the site!

I used to have a Stage 4 '03 WRX wagon but ditched it for a Hyundai Santa Fe. I intend to get another WRX someday. They're such easy cars to work on and can be made fast for cheap. But there's nothing like LS1 induced whiplash to get the day started...
