Hello, everyone.


I just picked up my STi two days ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it so far. I thought I better introduce myself here so I can start asking questions.

So, here goes:
My name is Ashleigh, and I'm 24 years old. My husband and I live in Oklahoma. We have two children (little girls). One is 8 years old and the other is 20 months old. I stay at home with my children and my husband works full time.

I am a first-time Subaru owner. I grew up around Fords and my husband and I have a love for BMWs. However, we've been very pleased with the car thus far. It's a 2006 STi (black).


I look forward to getting to know everyone.



Ashleigh

This should keep the leg humpers away, but there is always 1 or 2.

Welcome to the site, you will love the STi.

There is literally 100 solid hours of sticky reading you can do that will answer anything and everything about this car. Iv' been on here sticky reading, searching, and asking questions for 6 months and am STILL a noob with the STI. So start now!

Soo... what are your goals with the STI? stock? light mods? stage 4 500hp terror?



Welcome!

I put that information about me to try and keep leg humpers away. I'm sure there will still be at least one (like you said). Oh, well. I had to deal with that on bimmerforums, too. No big deal.


Anyway, I look forward to the hours of sticky browsing. I can't wait to learn tons about my new car.

My plans: I'd like to keep it stock. I am a simple girl who can appreciate mods, but they really aren't for me.

Welcome Ashleigh, to the best STI forum on the planet. like everyone said, there is a ton of information about this car. Reading the stickies is not only an enjoyment but will also keep you from making a 10,20, or even 30 thousand dollar mistake when it comes to maintenance and modding. so again welcome and enjoy her as much as we all have ours.


any questions, please do not hesitate to raise your hand.

you say that now, just wait until you go for a ride in just your basic stage 2 protuned STi making right around 300whp. lol, then the modding will start.

Haha, please don't tempt me. No, I'm totally cool with it stock...if nothing else, for now. This is my grocery-getter.
