This has been going around for a while, but if any of you haven't seen this is well worth it!

damn, the sound of that boxer engine gives me a woody. Subaru screwed up by not offering the new sti's in a sedan...fuck a wagon.

Hatchbacks FTW!!!

I don't care what you guys say, I think it looks great and I can carry around a ton of shit now.  They're also better for WRC (apparently), so that's why the STI is only available that way.

Hopefully by next week I'll be up to 1000 miles and I can get the oil changed...then I'll be off to the races!

Oh BTW Stu, no, I don't have any progeny (that I know of) if that's what you were inferring.  ;)

You know, I really should get some 4 point harnesses for the car (WARNING semi-NSFW):

Subaru went with the hatchback instead of sedan for WRC because it has less rear over hang. That way they wouldn't be smacking the trunk into trees or snow banks while drifting around corners. 2:20m into the video is a fine example. Two things to note about that vid: 1) they spent $4k in tires alone and 2) Ken Block is one bad mother fucker.
