So I have had Subarus for the past couple cars, had an 04 sti then downgraded to an 02 bugeye. I loved both, but once the Ralliart came out with the TC-SST I wanted it...bad. I test drove a bunch just for the hell of it, thinking there'd be no way I'd be able to get the wifes blessing. Then I started getting obsessed, even more so than when I wanted my STi.

So I waited and stalked the internet found a bunch of good deals and since I fly for an airline I could always just fly out to whereever it was and drive it back. There was an 2010 in Wisconsin that I had been bugging the dealer saying that I wanted it for no more than 400 a month with 1000 down and he kept saying he couldn't do it. I probably called this poor guy twice a week saying I'd be up there on the next flight to get it but nothing.

Then right when I was getting ready to go pick one up in NJ Mitsu offered the 0% for 60 months and they finally caved. I really don't know how they did it because that means I got it for 25K and their invoice on it was 26800, so it CAN be done with enough patience. I flew up on the next flight picked it up with 34 miles on it and drove it the 300 miles home. I love this car to death, even with it's anemic power compared to my STi. The best part is that it's the first car of my last 4 that I've owned that she's actually liked.

Anyway I wanted to wait to post up until I waxed it and got some decent pictures of it up.

Req'd mod list:
Rallyarmor Mudflaps
Eibach sport springs
15% tint and front banner
Custom Ipod mount...

These were my first attempts at HDR stuff so be gentle...







Next mod is painting my wheels graphite because I think the silver just contrasts too much.

 

welcome, good to see your first real mod was the spring. Smart way to go.

 

Looks good! Prepare to feed the mod bug, lol.

 

Good choice man. I did the same thing with the airline thing, was living in Texas, flew to NC to buy my RA. Enjoy the car.

 

Very Beautiful I am becoming more and more into these honestly. I wasnt into them when they first came out due to the loss of power compared to the X but I like them now esp for the price tag! Congrats and Welcome and we are ALL Glad you got out of Stuparoo's LOL!

 

Looks nice! Whats the plate say? CLRAILS?

 

Clear for ILS it's a type of approach done by aircraft. It's the only dorky pilot thing I own.

 

looks good dude

 

congratz and welcome to the group =)

congrats on the new car
you must be excited but it usually works out in the end if you wait

Thanks guys for the well wishes. I get a thousand more compliments in this car than in any of my subies. Probably cause it's kind of subdued compared to my bugeye that I had four hellas on the front of.
