I know this is the welcome mat, but just wanted to say thanks for all the help guys I loved my subaru while I had it!. Great car, just isn't the most practical car for me right now (tons of highway driving, and on very rough roads). Good news though is I can get into a Kia Optima Sport for zero dollars on a 3 year lease, with a very respectable 274 hp engine that will get 35 mpg compared to my very lousy 15/ 23. With gas prices going up over 5 dollars by memorial day, that difference in gas would be saving me about 1000 per year (which to a college student is huge). Someday in the future when I'm older and have money to blow, I will be coming back to build a beast of an STi! Peace!
Sorry to hear the news but it is what it is and we sometimes have to make "intelligent decisions" in order to get where we need to be. Wish you the best of luck and we'll be awaiting your return!
