For Valentine's day, Jason got us a Subaru Impreza WRX Limited! It's the required World Rally Blue, leather seats, butt warmers...you name it. The previous owner had a shitty sound system in it, but really...you don't drive a Subie for the sound system.
We sold the Spec-V SER for it. I was a bit sad to see it go, but it's a fucking WRX, man! Jason went down to Louisiana just to look at it, and ended up buying it. So now we're "the house with all those blue cars".
I can reach the pedals in this one, but there's a catch. You see, in the WRX, the seat can go up and forward. You know how they say that standards have a "sweet spot" in the clutch, and you can just press it until you reach it? Yeah.......the WRX doesn't have one. You have to push that fucker all the way to the floor, and that's where the problem comes in. I can't reach the clutch!!! I have to smoosh myself all the way into the steering wheel and rotate my hips in order to toe at the clutch pedal.
Driving it is interesting. It has the turning radius of my Escort, which is phenomenal. My Escort is tiny, but the fucker can turn around in a parking space. The WRX pretty much can do the same- there is only a 5 foot difference in the turning radius between them. The first thing I discovered while turning this car was how heavy it felt- I was surprised by it. You can feel the weight in this car. It's not a bad thing, really- Subarus are built to be strong.
Now the big question is: are you going to get rid of the Escort?
NO.
Did you really think I would get rid of my beloved beat up Rainbow Warrior? HA! Not on your life!
Yes, I realize I drive it by choice, but I made a good one.
