Thumbs up OBS takes over as ideal scoccer mom vehicle

My youngest daughter volunteered me to take her and three friends down to the lake this weekend. I got the directions and prepared to drive them down....but when I got to the school to pick them up, I found not three other girls and luggage, but 5 girls and luggage to go . The OBS didn't complain(all the girls are teenagers), we hit the twisties and were flying low. I am still very impressed with the car.

I would love to get my wife an Outback Wagon - but, she hates wagons. She would probably steal my WRX and make me drive the Outback.

Sean, thanks for the pictures. I see you have the genuwine Subbie twin wing to give that extra downforce.
Do you have any recommendations on the oem vs aftermarket trunkmonkeys?
The obs is very stable at speed, suprised me, I have felt well within the limits of the vehicle wherever or whenever I am driving.
thanks

your car looks so non-OBS. I love it btw, how easily did the Sport sticker come off (the one that was right in front of the rear fenders)

The factory decals and badging came right off. Just hit it for a minute with a hair dryer (not a heat gun, heat guns get too hot and will crack paint) and then peel it off with your fingernail. Use WD40 to remove the residue and then wash thoroughly with a few drops of dish soap mixed in with 32 ounces of water to get rid of the WD40 (remove it immediately or the WD40 will seep into the paint). Rinse, wax, you're all set. Takes about 5 minutes per decal.
