DjChieNa's Aspen White/Gold hiding under a rock...Protune results

***DjChieNa*** · 12-12-2005, 07:16 PM

So for about 3 weeks, I was dealing with my bank for some cash to pay this thing off and I was finally able to get it. I was so excited about this car that I didn't care about anything else. Needless to say, I took it home and parked it in the garage. When my parents got home and tried to park in the garage, they saw this and were like "wtf is that?" Mom thought it looked like a spaceship while my dad thought I was crazy for buying it because he knew somewhat about the car being a cop magnet, an insurance burden, and not a BMW (typical asian parents wanting the best for their child)...cant really do much since I paid for the car and insurance myself.

Without further a do, here is my 2005 Aspen White/Gold STi (sorry for the bad pics and dirty car):

Let's just hope Paperchasin still has some after I pay taxes, tags, and registration on this car.

**AndrewSS** · 12-12-2005, 07:23 PM

nice, good choice on color combo. I am kinda confused... you live with your parents...? Are you older and live with them or you are younger and you somehow got the car by yourself... just curious, have fun with it and be safe

***DjChieNa*** · 12-12-2005, 07:25 PM

haha...i'm 26 and I just moved back to my parents thinking I was saving up for a new house but I bought this instead. Shows where my priorities lie...

STiSpeed · 12-12-2005, 07:30 PM

What is important

1.) STi
2.) Mods for STi
3.) Life

Good choice
