    But I'm back and junk. :yumyum:

    As many of you know, for some reason I thought it was a good idea to buy an 05 ES330 at work and dumped the RS....Leaving me Subie-less. :sad panda:

    Thanks to Scott over at Morries, I just picked up a white 04 WRX wagon that is retarded clean with only 64k on it. I really couldn't be happier with this thing, and the price was certainly more than right. Thanks again Scott, I'm glad I we were finally able to find what I was looking for. If anyone is seriously looking to buy a Subie, call this guy.

    Right now I plan to drive the **** out of it, and that's about it. I'd like to maybe do the usual suspects (intake, up/dp, exhaust, STi top mount, a tune) next winter/late summer, once I am done throwing money at my new motorcycle hobby. Oh yeah, I'll need a set of summer wheels next winter when I drop some snows on the stock rims too. :biggrin:

    Bottom line, I just want something that remains reliable and still pretty much looks and sounds close to stock. Since the weather is doo-doo butter, I'll take a couple of pics once I wash it and Mother Natures ass cooperates.

    I picked up a 2000 SV650 and started playing with it.:biggrin:

    I'll post up a before/after/build thread once it starts going back together here in the next few weeks.

    I never realized the cost of entry into this crap. I think I've spent more between gear/permit/class than I have on the bike at this point, lol.

    Nice choice! And welcome back to the Subie game! My gf has an '04 wagon WRX as well. Modless, except for a banging sound system and some tint and wheels.

    That was my response too, I had my CC out when Scott came out to go on the test drive. It was somewhat of a formality at that point, lol. You should see the interior!

    Sorry man, I'm looking for 17" in the BBS/Volk/Work variety. This is going to be a BALLAR set of wheels or wait till next winter to buy some.....I have a feeling I am going to spend a lot of time on the bike this summer.
