I bought my WRX a wife. She wants a dual outlet exhaust, 16″ wheels and one of his ribs. Our Sienna has gotten tired, and with the WRX as fun as it is around town, the van wasn’t doing enough of the grunt work. In addition, the van got stuck twice in stupid places this week, and is actually pretty […]

Proof That I Won’t Be Stock Forever

I’ve found something to aspire to. After my last week fighting phantom mis-fires, flashing MIL’s and what are hopefully dummies on the internet, I wish my car would blow up and die.

I went karting with my family a couple weeks ago and […]

Like a Kid Again

It’s just as he says too: very good condition, perfect for winter, no damage… but some cars just suck no matter how they look on paper. This is even oddly tempting for me… it certainly was a fair sight in the garage, but […]
