I do realize that there are much more powerful cars that have been featured in this forum. As I don't exactly have that sort of operating capital I've stayed a bit conservative and went with this 08 WRX. The price was right and since we do experience our fair share of snow here (80 Miles NW of Reno, NV) I chose to go with this car. AWD definitely does help here.
Downside of course is the issues regarding the forced paint change in 08 from the EPA. Paint can chip easy and cause major headaches. I'll end up getting a carbon fiber hood. It'll at least offset the weight gain from the subwoofer installation. I'm not going to mod the hell out of it as it is my daily driver. I wanted something that had better gas mileage than my Montero Sport and had decent enough power for my purposes.
Nonetheless here are a couple of pictures. First one being the day I picked it up. Second being when I got the back windows tinted. I would have loved to have gotten all of them tinted but I don't exactly want to taunt the CHP.
*Note - The salesman parked it in the handicapped spot while I was transferring my belongings to the new car lol. I had nothing to do with that. My family for some reason pointed that out first instead of the fact I cleaned up my credit enough to get a halfway decent vehicle! Hahaha.
