Default First Subaru... New to the forums

Hey all, Adam here. Just bought an 06 Sti, blue w/ the gold wheels. Really excited about this car, as it's my first AWD. I've been into imports for quite a few years now, had my hatch days, 91 mr2 Turbo, 97 eclipse gs-t, 99 Civic Si and my last car, 07 acura tl type s which just got flooded a few months ago

I'm glad you guys let guests search the forums as reading through here swayed my decision to an STI. I have 2 kids, so performance with 4 doors was key!


My member name is cheesy, but thought it fits considering i've had many hondas and I'm a sales manager at a honda dealership

Any Hampton Roads VA members here?

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your purchase Adam and Adam.

Adam the OP, My parents live in NoVa currently. But I think you're down past Richmond?

Are either of the kids boys? They are lucky to have a father with such good taste in cars!

I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay here.

Hampton Roads is South East Virginia. If you're parents are in NoVa, I feel bad for all the snow they've had the past week or so. I think they're in for more today :/

Yes, my youngest is Adam Jr.! I certainly hope he has the same passion for cars that I do.

It's farther south than Richmond though right? I am jealous of the snow they are getting, I wish i was there with the scoob. I haven't seen fresh flakes since last year and I hate it.

As for the chilluns, I too hope to one day have one or some follow in my interests. But that's far in the future.

Welcome to the forum. You will love the low end of the STI. I do find myself missing the upper rpm snap of my TL Type S from time to time but IMO it is more than a fair trade.
