    Well, not the same exact one, but I did pick up another Saabaru :D I've been missing my last one, so I couldn't pass this one up!

    This one is also Deep Blue Mica, but its 2006 Saab 9-2x 2.5i, 5 speed. After getting promoted (woot!) and no longer having a company car (boo) it was time to pick up a DD. I wanted an 05+ leggy, but I think I'll be happier in this!

    It had 111k miles when I got it, original owner, driven by a female, and just last year had the head gaskets replaced, heads redone, including new valve seats, new clutch/pressure plate, timing belt, water pump and brakes...all done at the local Subaru dealer in Indiana (which ironically is where I bought the last Saabaru).

    Anyway, one quick pic next to the STi:

    Plans for this one? Since its my DD, it will remain mostly stock, but I'll probably do the following:

    -New head unit (already ordered, Pioneer AVH-P1400)
    -Put my subwoofer in it that's been collecting dust
    -Dynamat perhaps? (anyone good with this stuff...PM me).
    -WRX struts and rear sway bar
    -Lowering springs (Swift or Epic wagon springs)
    -Summer wheels/tires
