Original post from November 11th 2008 when I first bought the car.....

I just got in. I am so stoked I can't believe it. Got an 08 Lightning Red, with zero options. It has wheel locks on there but they weren't on the sticker so I didn't pay for 'em. Had to drop a couple g's because I was a little upside down in my 07. But my monthly payment went down, payoff date didn't change, and I now have a brand new 08 with less than 100 miles on it. Actually had 87 when they pulled it out of the show room. I will do pics tomorrow. Happy Veterans day to me.

Thanks Subaru for offering 7K off sticker and 0% financing. It was the same price as an 09 WRX!!!! $28,064 on a car that had an original asking price of $37,164 (including dealer markup)!!!! Gonna do a new journal and do it right. I have a mod path in mind already, gonna do it a little different than I did the 07. I am so stoked right now. LOL I have to be up for work in six hours. I'm gonna be dragging *** at PT for sure.

Congrats! Nope they consider us in the "Wagon" class so we are not the hot rods we once were... I'll take it!
