Hey now!!

Just wanted to say hello. I'm not so new to the forums, I used to "lurk" when I first bought my WRX for some tips. I am now trying to start a detailing business on the side to help with the new married life/family thing. Any little bit helps!

I just want to say thank you in advance. I have learned volumes in just the short time I've been here. Hopefully soon I can contribute back!


Thanks,

Wicked

be warned -- I was in the same position.

Now, after spending hundreds of dollars on products, I find myself applying new LSPs every other weekend.

It's a disease and it seems like you just caught it.

This is an old pic. I have a carbon hood and a roll call down the front of the front doors. Its pretty fast. The best I've ran was 12.9. I'm still running stock turbo and intercooler. Its my daily driver so I didnt want to go too far.

The color is pretty rare Sedona Red Pearl. It was only made in 2002.
Its my baby but she's getting ready to go soon. I have a family now so I'm probably going to go with a Legacy GT. Thats why I'm trying to start a small detailing business on the side.

Sorry I'm a noob. What is LSP?

I think I've had it since I've owned a car. It just never got this bad! The detailing bug that is.

STOP !!!

don't sell your car -- you can have a baby and still keep the WRX. It's a 4 door sedan. No need to get the wagon yet.

when the baby comes, remember to still enjoy your own life! I fit two kids in the back of my M3 convertible!

Naa, Its time for something new. Everyones got WRX's time for something with a little more luxury. I'm a subie nut so I think of it as a step up. I'm just tired of racing. I'm older and I'm tired of getting revved on at every stop light. A daily driver with coilovers tends to kick your butt on long drives and its hard to mount a baby seat with a harness bar and 4 points in the back too. I'm actually looking forward to it!
