    Well i guess i can start off by saying my name is David, i drove a 2003 WRB Bugeye. Now the key word was "drove" unfortunitly on Feb. 9th i was T-boned passanger side by a drunk driver. (no i do not have pics) The accident killed my baby (the car) 19k in damage. fortunitly bc of Subarus great crash ratings i merely walked away stunned. The accident sucked, i was going 45mph 5mph slower than posted speed and he was going 55, 20 over. but enough of that. im moving to MN on 05/22/2010. once im there and find a decent paying job i will be buying another Subaru...if i can find a low mileage bugeye ill take that but if not im more than likely going to be buying a 2007 STi is Pearl White. Oh and i loved to play in the mud, pics will verify this :)

    Now to what my car had and looked liked:

    Suspension:
    -JDM STi Struts
    -GF210 Springs

    Engine/Exhaust:
    -Invidia V2
    -Blitz Nur Spec R
    -Injen Cold Air Intake
    -Protuned at 250WHP and 255WTQ at 21psi on stock turbo(road tune)

    And Added accessories:
    -Aftermarket STi wing (lighter and more ridged, did not flop in the wind)
    -2 Hella 500s mounted on the bumper
    -Ikea Homemade mudflaps
    -Enkei somekind of Rims haha

    Now for the pics of what my baby used to look like:

    hello :wavey: nice car, too bad about it being destroyed, but the only thing that matters is that you weren't hurt.
    What type of work are you looking for once you get here?

    Welcome to the site! You're gonna love the snow, especially once you're back into a Subaru again.

    Something different, I've lived on the west coast my whole life and i wanted something a little more outdoorsy (spelling) Minnesota seemed to have the best fit

    Get ready for -50F :) I will tell you this. Full synthetic oil and a good battery and you should be set come winter. Shouldn't have to plug it in at all.

    Bummer to hear you were hit, glad you are okay. God D*amn drunk drivers, you'll be happy to know that MN Police are Nazis about that kinda stuff.
