dakotas much better looking 04 wrx thread with a short story
hi my name is dakota and this my 04 wrx,i lovet his car its a quick dd when i bought it,it was stock besides a catback or so i thought,it turns out the original owner had done a hybrid build with the 2.5 block and 2.0 head and apparently did it wrong because the motor blew up shortly after i bought it.
that was unfortunate,but humbling because it ment i would get to learn alot with the car and i would get to essentially start from scratch,so i bought a brand new block and rebuilt the heads,and now she is running like a champ this was about 2 years ago.since the rebuild i have been adding onto the car as i see fit,im not really into flashy mods or anything really exterior wise(if you are thats more then ok we all have interests in the auto world). i like function over form,and to me its the heart of the beast that interests me the most,everyday while im checking my oil, i smoke a cigarette and look over everything, honestly i just like admiring the engine, and i could do it for hours,i love to have the hood open, listening to the injectors tick ,hearing the exhaust rumble it is just a piece of beautiful art to me,everything from the front bumper to the rear bumper just makes me smile,i have an attachment to this car, it cant talk to me but i feel it speaking to me with every press of the throttle and every turn of the wheel. this car is very special to me and i appreciate it with all my heart. this car is something i can focus on and i can put my heart into,something i cant be distracted from,in my world something i cant be distracted from is very comforting(i have a.d.d. so my mind is always switching to different thoughts,and focusing on different things).so its nice for me to have something that calms my mind and doesnt let it race and i cant just sit there and focus on one thing for hours. you wont believe how long it took me to write this because of it.and this isn't even that long let me provide some background into my life. when i got into high school(9th)grade i had a really hard time with school,that previous school had smaller classes wich was hard but not to terribly distracting,but once i got to highschool man o man huge classes i just couldn't handle it at all, i suppose i could have put myself on meds again but those had very terrible side effect,it would make me constantly depressed and sometimes even makes people think of suicidal thoughts,which is ridiculous when your like 8 and your having those thoughts in your mind,its very scary but thats a whole different story for another time. anyways so about 3 months in i was failing every class,so i decided to drop out, and in enrolled at the lincoln center(its like a college prep place but also a place to get your g.e.d) i love that place and i thank them for every but of success i have had they truly helped me, at the lincoln center the classes were of about 5 or 6 people ranging for 14 to 60 attempting to get there g.e.d,this was very good for me as small classes small enviroments equal focus for me, i could consult the teacher and get more one on with her or him because of the small classes,also the teachers there seemed to care alot more about us getting our g.e.d,i believe this is because the student that were there wanted to be there and wanted to graduate. thats just my theory though. anyways so after about 3 or 4 months i got my g.e.d and was graduated about 3 years earlier then all my peers which i was proud of,so at about 14 or 15 i cant remember how old exactly i was when i got my ged but it was around there i started working full time at a place called suttons sports wear,making 8 bucks an hour woot!we made tshirts for nikon,nike.adidas all those big sports companys, i worked there for about 2 years and then sadly the plant closed due to lack of funds. that was when i found out i could get unemployment at the age of 16 haha,which was amazing i thought,dont worry though gents i only used it till i got another job,also during the time at suttons i bought my first car which was a geo storm it was a cool little car. i also think its good to start with a lower end car helps you learn on something not worth much value because usually you end up breaking something when your first learning to wrench,plus it will help you appreciate a nice car like i have in the future. anyways next job when i was about 17 was at a place called nova 1 basically you take phone calls from inmates relatives and then you put money on there accounts at the jails it was very strange and very awkward at times.it was hard for me to understand alot of the accents from down south haha but oh well. then at around 18 i got a job at bresnan(now optimum) and have been working here since then it is a great job,with great people,im a customer care rep and i help people with there billing and i help troubleshoot as well,most of the customers are great but everybody has a bad day once and a while,it humbles me to help people and have them say thank you it makes you feel warm inside. the pays great the environments great. sorry for this long long text but i just wanted to give some background as to who i am,instead of just some random person on the internet. i apologize if my thoughts seem jumbled.i hope you enjoyed my story and here is the car my
