    Hi! I looking for some responsible family transportation last week and somehow ended up buying a 2002 WRX Wagon. Pretty impressed so far, build quality and driving dynamics are certainly better than the Protege5 I pawned off on my wife.

    Over the Memorial Day weekend I stripped the interior and hand scrubbed ALL THE THINGS to get some smells out, then fixed some stereo wiring.

    Then yesterday before I even got a chance to transfer the title someone rammed me with their Malibu while I was heading home from work, so off to the sale section to see if I can get lucky and find a replacement. The Malibu owner had insurance, but I like to keep the self repair option open. ;)

    Subaru ownership has sure been exciting so far. :D

    welcome to mnsubaru.

    Ownership is of a wrx is fun, but its a bottomless money pit either due to modifications. its a blast to drive in the winter.
    We have weekly tuesday meets at boom island in the event center if you care to come out sometime :)

    Hope to see you around!
