I was shopping with my friend last night and we decided to go to the Subaru Dealer. We looked at the WRX and the guy (who we knew) asked us if we wanted to take it out. Well my friend doesnt know how to drive stick so I took over the wheel. I loved it. We then got a call from Rico Blanco (you might know him from the radio) he ownes on and so does his brother. Well Ricos is mild and his brothers is WILD. So rico took us out and then when we returned we went next door (to his brothers house) and took out his brothers WRX. Let me tell you I am SOLD. I want one BAD. Im 66 and I fit in the back seat. The car is extremely fast and very safe. Im thinking on trading the CIvic in for one. So what does everyone think?
