after selling my 07 in 2010, we are happily back in a 2017!
for those interested, the saga of the 07 can be found here: :: enoxard's 2007 OBP :: Dom 3 XTR :: 440/400 ::
since the 07, i spent the past few years hauling the wife and kids in a 4runner and tacoma. While fun, the toyotas are lacking forced induction, awd, a boxer rumble, and #raceCar. The shortcomings of these trucks were made abundantly clear to the wife on every one of the 80,000+ miles we put on the 4 runner.
when the time came to sell the 4runner, she mumbled - just get the porsche.. so before should could undo that statement, purchased this
which i flew out to Pittsburgh to purchase and then drove several thousand miles across country back to salt lake city.
after having driven the 911 for the summer and fretting about a $5,000 clutch job, $2000 in parts for brakes, utah winters, kids, bicycle hauling, etc.. i was reminded that mid-life crisis are real and i was in the midst of one.
doing what responsible parents do, i sold the 911 turbo for something more 'economical' and 'practical' [ with forced induction, awd, 6 speed, and #raceCar ] - a 2017 STi? its all relative.
so with a few messages to clint at heuberger a 2017 WRX premium was promptly in the mail.. Which fortunately was damaged in transit and provided cause to refuse delivery and upgrade to the STi.
Heuberger was great about the exchange, took the WRX as if i never owned it and rolled everything into the STi.. Which was on a boat at the time and left me to public transport [ and wife taxi ] for 6 weeks or so. =/
but alas, after halloween the STi arrived at heuberger and i was promptly on a plane to pick her up.
it was love at first sight. i brought the AP with me to the dealership with the intention of flashing stage 1 at mile 0. However, on arrival i reconsidered that and figured id roll a few hundred miles on the stock tune for comparison. 1700 miles later, the AP is still uninstalled and for sale.
some pics from the drive back from CO.
unlike the 2007, the 2017 is very driveable and enjoyable in stock form.. disclaimer: i am 41 and dont vape e-juice.
in fact, i think the STi is a more enjoyable daily than the 911?!?!? dont take this to mean that the STi is better. You should really own both.
I dont have any real plans for mods. Save for a pair of mud flaps and weathertech mats that are on the way. Every day this car stays stock is a win for my next 911 turbo.
i am happy to be back and look forward to trolling this millennial generation that seems to have discovered the subie world during my hiatus. i eat snowflakes.
enjoy.
