View Full Version : Looks like Texas will be the last...
enuttage 03-12-2001, 02:14 PM to get our much anticipated WRXs. At least based on the geographical progression of these things (N to S down the E and W coasts).
Dammit, I'm ready for mine NOW!
You guys enjoy 'em and remember us down here when you're takin' the twisties. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/tongue.gif

Woo Hoo!!!! Only 455 posts to go.
puzurinshushinak 03-12-2001, 02:18 PM Take heart. A lot of southerners got cars today. They've arrived in Georgia, Alabama, and North Carolina. Texas can't be far behind.
mine was supposed to arrive today.. but so far.. no call from my dealer..
the suspence is aging me a year an hour.. at this rate i'll be 105 before i get it http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif ..hehe
drklahn 03-12-2001, 05:01 PM I called my dealer this morning (North Park Subaru in San Antonio), and they said that mine is coming this week. They've got a shipment confirmation or something or other, but can't nail down a specific time. So... soon. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif
WRXDude 03-12-2001, 05:05 PM Just spoke w/ Ron @ North Park Subaru - mine is expected to arrive on Wednesday! Whoohoo!
FlashJordan 03-12-2001, 05:08 PM Texas is NOT behind! http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif Mine came in this afternoon at Huffines in Lewisville and I pick it up tommorow http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

ae3753 03-12-2001, 05:35 PM Very good news indeed! As long as it comes in before this weekend, I'll be happy. I'm flying back into Texas this weekend, so the soonest I can pick up my car is this Saturday.
But then I leave for California again on Monday morning. It'll be a great Sunday though!
nsnguyen 03-12-2001, 05:55 PM You and me both. I'm working in California right now and don't get back from LA until Saturday... at least someone in the office here in LA is picking up his WRX tomorrow so I'll at least get to see one. Makes it easier to explain to the folks that "yes, I did see one before I bought it.."

enuttage 03-12-2001, 06:01 PM SWEET!!!!!!
Thanks for the good news Flash. Now I'll wait until I get the call here in Austin, or until my wife sees the cars on the lot (she works close enough to see the dealership http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif)

Nope...I live in Miami and we're farthest from any port of entry for Subaru. Its like finding a needle in a haystack. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/frown.gif
I drove 800 miles to deadbolt's dealer to get my RS!
GL10toWRX 03-12-2001, 08:37 PM My dealer in Dickinson (south of Houston) told me that my car is going to be sitting at the Rail Yard in Dallas until at least 2 more weeks while they transfer ownership of the dealerships. Talk about PISSED! I have been waiting 7 years for a WRX! Now I have to wait on some stupid dealership paperwork to go through. I guess it wouldn't have been too bad, but I am selling my current car tomorrow and will be bumming rides until my WRX gets here.
Anyway, if any of you houstonites get your car, I want to take a peek when you get it. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif
ae3753 03-13-2001, 02:02 PM Jerry @ North Park Subaru in San Antonio just called to tell me that the truck w/ my WRX has arrived! They are unloading it now.
enuttage 03-13-2001, 02:15 PM Yep. I got the call today also. My dealer enigmatically suggested that it'll be here tomorrow.

Travis R 03-13-2001, 03:24 PM Sweeeeet.
So all you guys are going to bring them out to the auto-x right? I'm not going to be able to get mine until a little later this year, so you gotta let me check it out.
Go to www.spokes.org (http://www.spokes.org) for the schedule. We race at Retama Park near San Antonio.
enuttage 03-13-2001, 04:28 PM Update!! The cars are here!!
However...I can't touch until tomorrow. They've gotta PDI 'em and apparently the techs don't want any of us squirly kids getting near the maintenance bays at the dealership.
My dealer assured me they'd put 93 octane in it and he said it should be here tomorrow.
Oh yeah. I'll be drivin' my new baby to work on Thursday. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif
ae3753 03-13-2001, 04:41 PM Travis R,
I'll see what I can do about going to an auto-x. I haven't been able to make a SPOKES event since last year. I've been travelling too much. But if my schedule does match up with a race, I'll roll down there with the Rex and leave my Miata at home http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif
WRXDude 03-13-2001, 08:42 PM Yup, your cars *are here* - I know 'cause I have pictures of them w/ Sold tags on them! Picked up mine tonight from NP Subaru - *sweet*! I also picked up a spare key from each of your cars for "safe keeping"... ransom notes will be emailed shortly! j/k! http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif
WRXDude 03-14-2001, 06:08 AM OK, for all of you guys buying from NP, here's a shot of a row of sold WRX's - pick one (or two!)... enjoy!

ae3753 03-14-2001, 09:59 AM Patrick,
You're EVIL! I thought that I would be fine waiting till Monday to pick up the car, but now that you've shown me my car. . .GRRRR. . .I can't take it!

Damon 03-14-2001, 10:33 AM i went by my dealer yesterday (here in Beaumont TX) and they had their ONLY wrx. it was white, 4 door, and guess what? they let me drive her http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/wink.gif i bought my RS from them. good guys. anyways you should get your car on time.
nsnguyen 03-14-2001, 10:35 AM Wow... that yellow car is mine. Literally... I ordered it from North Park about a month ago, it arrived yesterday, and I haven't been in town to get it. I can't pick it up until Monday, though.
oh well. I did get to sit in a friend's silver wagon today, and so I have a quick fix..

drklahn 03-14-2001, 07:19 PM That's awesome! Thanks for the picture. Mine is one of the blue ones...
They told me I couldn't get mine 'til friday morning. The anticipation is killing me.
