    After a year of what seemed to be continuous working and cleaning up my RS, I had to say goodbye after an unfortunate collision with an SUV left her totaled. I have been browsing Craigslist and the forums for the past couple of weeks since the accident hoping to find something within my price range to replace my beloved car, but wasn't having much luck. My luck turned around last weekend when I decided to look once more before settling for something else. Looked at the for sales, saw the ad at the top and jumped on it right away. Took a road trip and picked up the car today! So, I'm now a proud first time owner of a 2003 WRX. Happy happy day.

    Sorry that I'm blocking the view. The only picture I have at the moment!

    You couldn't have bought a WRX that was more loved and taken care of! Rick and his wife are letting go of one of their children, basically. Lol. Take good care of her!!

    Congrats!!!!

    I definitely felt that. I almost felt bad for taking it! But I will definitely take good care of her! Such a great car! :)

    Well, it's not another 5th gen legacy... I suppose I'll allow it.

    Good snag!

    That first picture is from around the time I first bought my car. The second one is more recent! The snow is almost gone by now with all the rain we've been getting!

    Is it just me or does the hoodscoop color looks mismatched?

    If you are referring to the winter picture, its just ice on the hood making it look darker.
