For those on here that know me this is my second second. I bought my first one, an used 2007 STI with 30,000 miles on it, back in February 2009. I had no idea what I was walking into...
I then Decided I was Ken Block and preceded to show every one how much unlike him I was, when I slid into a telephone pole on a dirt road...
I sent the car to the shop under insurance and got it back a month later. Where in the springs a drunk driver in a Tahoe decided to drive on my side of the road. This was the end of the car...
I waited a few months then went and picked up a brand new 2009 Lightning Red STI with 8 miles on it.
I am about half way to my end goal of a good all round daily driver and weekend warrior. I have only taken the car around the track at High Plains Raceway twice.
New pics of the Beast!
