Durania Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Found the right STi on IWSTi Sunday night, it was posted early Sunday afternoon. Sent an email to the seller for him to call me. 2 minutes later I was on the phone with him. 30 minutes later, I told him I wanted it. Yesterday, my father in-law and I flew out of Knoxville to Orlando Florida. We arrived 20 minutes ahead and schedule and the dude picked us up at the airport. I loved it instantly, made the purchase, and headed back to East Tennessee. I arrived home at 3 AM CST this morning, went to bed, got back up at 6 to be at work. Here are the pictures: About to board: Edited November 4, 2010 by Durania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bheinen74 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) congrats, its looks stock keep it that way if you can, production number7 will be an investment over time as in will hold its value more than the others. Then, someday (if you keep it stock) it will go up in value. How many of these in 20 years will still be stock, or still around, and not wrecked?: none but this one is my hope will still be the same as today. good find. trade offerered for my BRAT, SVX, , and my brothers outback and dads forester, along with a pretty big sheepdog Edited November 4, 2010 by bheinen74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 That hood scoop pic from inside the car is badass! Looks nice. X2 on the gold wheels, nice color match-up! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks guys. I am more than likely going to try and source me a STi trunk. "Subaru number 7" refers to this being my 7th Subaru. I fell in love with this car/color combo when I was a junior in high school. I just graduated college and got a raise at work. I can't wait to put a car seat in it and "baby on board" sign.

J A Blazer Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I'm curious - how bad is your insurance premium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobywagon Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 It was a heck of a trip. I am at work now running on 2 cylinders. Get yourself a Monster. 2 cylinders is still plenty when you've got boost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobywagon Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 oh, I just gotta know.... How many times on that trip did some jerk-off in a Civic/Neon/Mustang/whatever pull up next to you and try to race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renob123 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thanks guys. I am more than likely going to try and source me a STi trunk. My work is blocking your pics. I have a spare STI trunk in Obsidian Black Pearl, if you think that would work. Shipping would probably suck, but I'd be up for a trade. oh, I just gotta know.... How many times on that trip did some jerk-off in a Civic/Neon/Mustang/whatever pull up next to you and try to race? You forgot lifted truck, which is the majority of jerk-offs around here. I'm guessing 15-20 times, depending on what kind of roads he was on. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times on that trip did some jerk-off in a Civic/Neon/Mustang/whatever pull up next to you and try to race? Hahaha! When I got my 02 it was Colbot's and V-dubs. Can you say no competition? good memories on that trip! Trust me you will never regret that drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samneric Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Sweet looking ride!!! Try not to role it The road trip reminded me of my trip from New Orleans to SC to buy my OBW - fun huh?! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Add $500 to my insurance. Wife is the primary driver as she is older than me, female, and married. I got eyed at by a couple douchers in Neons on the way through Georgia. Driving on I-75 during the rain is a death trap. Those stupid truckers will run you off the road.

I must have had it while the going was good then - My '02 WRX was about 600 for 6 months back when I bought it in 02. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Beautiful car congrats. I love my 2009 WRX hatch, same color. You might be surprised how much of a target that huge STI wing makes a car. Lots of hood trades going on out here for years. I like the hatch for this reason too, not quite as flashy.
