I'll take this with a grain of salt, as you have that monstrosity in your signature.

Ha-Ha! That's not my car... it's a painting. Done in early 2009.

I know it's not your car! I'm just don't understand why anyone would want that thing in their signature at all.

Thanks for the 100% agreement...

my paint is pretty strong. I love the car besides the fact that the rear sags. Red_Zed what how do you like the wrx compared to your mustang?

I'll do a write up one of these days.... I like my subie, but the mustang revolutionized what I expect from cars in the 25-40k price bracket.

I need awd though, and if you need it, the subie is a no-brainer

i think i just got hit with a humongous rock. there's a lot of roadwork around my area so one probably took a good swipe at my car. i just need to grab me some touchup paint and it'll be fine.

Phelan, just a few pics to show you what the functional shark fin antenna looks like installed on my sedan.

Of course, this was the original antenna.

Yours might have a different base. Visual Garage has a second version that is meant to incorporate the sat radio antenna and that should fit you. Contact them through their website if you're interested and ask them about it.

I replaced my Z with a 2011 STi sedan (spark silver) back in June. All I've done is added a front strut-brace and Cobb Stage 1 running the 93-octane map (I fill with 94). It's plenty quick for my DD needs, although I would like to do the downpipe and CBE at some point. Already have my winter wheels with Blizzak LM-60s ready to go. I miss my Z, but there's no way I could use it as my DD during the winters in Canada (I moved here from Georgia, where the Z was perfect).

semtex · 10-27-2011, 09:56 AM

Oh and btw, my STi sedan turns heads all the time. People literally stop on the sidewalk as they walk by and stare. I've had plenty of compliments as I gas up or whatever too. Personally, I think it's a no-brainer that the Z looks nicer. And I actually avoid looking at my STi from certain angles. But I guess people still appreciate that it's not your average car, hence the head-turning. Indeed, my perception of the STi's looks is no doubt influenced by the fact that I had a Z. Were my reference point a more average looking car, my perception of the STi's looks would undoubtedly be more favorable.
