Default RE: Going Stealth!-Had mine since Sept

After drooling over the WRX's for a while now. I finely had an excuse to look for a new car. My wife's 2001 Saturn SE got some electrical problems. Out of warranty and the dealer was just chasing the problem.
She wonted something 4X4 or all wheel drive. I asked her what she wonted.
She replied, I wont something 4 wheel drive but, I don't like SUV's and we already have a pickup.

I suggested we go to the Subaru dealer and she said, I kinda like the Baja's.
I asked her what she thought of the Impreza's (with other motives in mind)
She didn't know but would look. (Wahooooo I thought to my self)

First thing we saw when pulling into the lot was a used white on gold WRX STi.
She said, I like that allot, see how much it is (WaHoooo again)

Long story short the used WRX was a rode hard and put up wet repo.
We got a 05 blue on silver WRX STi.

On the ride home (I only got to drive on the test drive) She said, Damn this thing is fast! Can you make it faster?

It snowed all night and the WRX was left alone in the Garage.

I have managed to log 118 miles on her (the WRX) today while the wife was at work.
I had to go to her work and steal it and take it back before she got off. (it is her car)
I went in and the first thing out of her mouth was, What are you smiling about.
I don't think I need to explain that here.

I have read and been told about all the go-fast goodies that are available for this little dream.
What I would like to find out here is;
What would be the first steps for upgrading performance?
I need to keep its daily drivability for now!

I hope I didn't boar you with my story but, I am still smiling!
Any help would be appreciated.

Congratulations!

My wife hasn't driven mine yet, but when she does I'm sure she will "steal" it and make me drive the Explorer :x

Man, I hate driving that boat!

Enjoy the car!
