      Don't really ever know his finances, but you know, few hundred thousand in investments instead of on a show car would be around a million by the time that kid turns 18. The kid probably wouldn't mind having a million in a trust fund instead of a dad with a show car. I'm just saying, my kids probably going to hate my cars if they ever find out how much they cost ... but hey, they still get college funds and maybe they won't get $1mil trust fund, but they'll at least not have to worry about paying for tuition. More than my parents did for me lol

      He keeps calling it an investment which is painful, vehicles are depreciating assets with very few exceptions to rare Ferraris, Porsches, McLarens, etc. Investments MAKE you money over time, expensive hobbies COST you money over time. Nobody will come along and give you more money then what you already sank into a Subaru, sorry to crush your investment portfolio.

      I have a gutted and half caged 420awhp 2005 sti and I literally fix something different almost every week. Subarus are only reliable until you crack open the engine. After that, things don't seem to want to work. If I could do it over, I would've started with a built block from IAG, which I might still do. But, I would say if you have something like this, have it in a nice garage and definitely don't daily it

      Exactly, massive "I've never spun a spanner in my life" red flag.
      When ever somebody says "built motor" its a massive red flag also.
      Show me one motor that was not "built". So people are driving around with un-assembled motors?
      Built is normally a term reserved for spastics who have no clue what was done to their motor, why, or if it even works (see COBB).

      Maybe just it would be cool to have him as a featured car. But its kinda hard for normal folks to drop a quarter million dollars on a fucking car you know? Lol. This isnt something he tuned and build its a more money invested in other men doing the work. Its a hella sweet car but that type of build is taking away a lot from the old school hot rod spirit to me. Anyone can throw money at something and make it great.

      Māris Samats that's like saying the Patriots going to the Superbowl again is kind of a douche move. It's not. If that competition wants to win they need to step it up in any and all competition sports. That's why it's called competition. If you aren't allowed to compete because of your success then there is no true competition.

    Golden rims
    STi wing
    Turbo ( with unequal length turbo pipes )
    LED front lights
    Hood scoop and roof top scoop
    and a front splitter.
    Now it does sound like a ricer, but bear with me, I want it to have the rally aesthetic but without it being stripped inside for the weight reduction.
