This WRX is the first car that I have ever bought that I truly cared about. Normally I just buy my cars and drive them for a bit till I get bored. Within the first 5 miles of this car I realized... I will never get bored. I figured I should keep a journal going so I can look back on how the car has progressed over the coming years. Here is the story:
