    Clean wagon ! I wanted one, but ended up with a Legacy sedan. I see you have an AUX! Lol that's the only thing I got screwed with, not having one of those.

      You didn't get screwed. You just didn't buy an '07 and up.

        The car's still running great! I took a trip to my grandma's and hit some back roads on the way, and it handled it like a champ. Suspension and tires are a necessity for more cornering fun, though. Tint is coming next weekend. I'm thinking 25% should be good.

        In other news, I finally got it licensed last week and debadged it today:

          I just realized I've never updated this! About 3 months after I got it, I popped the engine due to oil starvation. I figured that since it was my newest car I've ever owned, it should be fine. it wasn't. I bought a cheap 92 EX 5spd Coupe that was hit in the back right quarter and needed a clutch, but was otherwise completely fine while it was down.

          Long story short, I spent way too long thinking about fixing it before I just found a $250 junkyard motor and swapped it in. It's not perfect, uses about a quart of oil every fillup, and is throwing the annoying P0420 emissions code so it won't give me cruise control, but it's a good car that carries a bunch of shit.

          I've had some '11 WRX wheels for a while, but I just got back from working in California to no job, so I needed a small project. I sprayed them in Duplicolor metallic bronze wheel paint and wrapped them in some accidentally-too-small tires that I got from a friend.





          That was right after swapping them over, so the suspension isn't settled, making it look super monster-trucked, but it dropped another inch or so after driving it. I'm planning on getting OEM Legacy GT springs, shocks, and struts for it, lowering it another 2 inches. This is my daily driver, so I can't slam it on coilovers, unfortunately. It also desperately needs tint.

            I just picked up some new toys:

            I'm not planning on installing them until Winter is over, but I'm not sure I'll be able to wait that long...
