To buy something like an STi and never really drive it seems like a waste to me, that's all. It's like buying a twin turbo Porsche, and only driving it to the grocery store across the street and back.
He's more than welcome to get one regardless of what he plans on doing with it......that's why I said it was just my $0.02. Sorry that my opinion and my car buying habits bother you so much.
