Why the WRX?

[SixDaysToSunday]

Then my sister totalled it before I got old enough to drive it.

Did you disown her?

Not 6 months ago a guy pulled up in a Veyron outside my office. There are 4 different 599s that come through my center on a weekly basis.

Ahh, I was confused and then I saw where you're from. I've been to that part of Cali on business, and you're right. Crazy exotics everywhere! I've still never seen a Veyron in real life.

Haha I remember that story...somewhere in Texas I think?

Galveston,Texas

"The man, who refused to give his name, was looking at real estate in Galveston.
About 3 p.m. a low-flying pelican distracted him as he traveled north on Interstate 45 just south of the hurricane levee near Omega Bay.
The man jerked the wheel, dropped his cell phone, and the car's front tire left the frontage road and entered a muddy patch, which foiled his attempt to maneuver away from the lagoon."

you can spend all the $ you want,if only these cars came with STUPID CONTROL

Ahhhhh...the 'ol "Pelican made me crash my $1mil+ car into a salty marsh" excuse. Heard it a thousand times.

[QUOTE=zax;2663432]Once upon a time (2002) I was on a mission to find the "perfectly well-rounded car." This car had to be decent in all of the following departments:
1. Handling
2. Acceleration
3. Versatility (this is the DD factor, 4 doors, 5 passengers, cargo volume)
4. Fuel economy (keep in mind, back in 2002 25 mpg highway was excellent)
5. Navigation in inclement conditions; snow, gravel, dirt, etc.
6. Reliability

Add " ease of power gain" to that list and you pretty much have a point to point match for why I got my WRX. Plus it fell perfectly in my price range at the time. This is my first subbie, but sure as hell won't be my last.

$1800 for quiet kids on long trips? Money well spent.

Sleeping pills are cheaper...

Drews wins... now drew.... Pick the next challenge.

I sympathize with the poor guy.

I drive a WRX because it's awesome. Actually as of right now I've done nothing but park it.

I would take one of these though....
