On the verge....
Saw an STI wagon in WRB at the dealership today. Freakin' nice.
Absolutely thought about it. Was my first choice for a while. But then the more I looked at it, the more 'refrigerator' white it started to look. I dunno. I love white cars as well, just don't know if I'll ever actually own one.

Ok, lol at the lone voter that said WTF? are you thinking
Well, I stopped by the dealer after work today. Sitting smack dab center. Had a lightning red and plasma blue behind it. Def better in person. There was a black regular WRX sitting next to it in all its swirled paintwork glory. Still a great color but not its best moment. Plus, not being able to easily pass up a deal on a below invoice car, I had to rethink this.
Took the plasma blue one out for a quick spin to see if the regular shifter was bollocks or not. Verdict: eh. 1-2 shift was like rowing a boat, but from what I can remember from a test drive with the SSK 6 months ago, it didn't seem that much different.
So, I promptly unloaded my Audi at a tremendous loss
(I thought MB and BMW depreciation was bad....never again will I buy an Audi). Now with only my wife's monster truck SUV and the P left, I need to either get the grey one as the new DD or start walking to work.

Well don't put it on the pole if you don't want someone to vote for it 
So did you buy the Gray one? Congrats if so. Cool cars!

Delivery miles

Put on 40 miles just get home. Gonna follow break-in, so I don't have a full sense of the car yet. But it's a peppy little bastard, though
And I have to say I LOVE the distinct Boxer 'burble'.
