Those new Wrx's look hella different, I like the models from 02-06. Does make it more of a sleeper car tho.

Everyone that added shit to there car, Do you install/work on it by yourself or do you take it into the shops?

I worked at a detail shop and i did everything from my decals to my stereo install with the help of a few professional buddies of mine.

thats the 08 wrx? i dont really like how it looks.... they gave it a more luxurious look than the previous tuner/import look it had.. but hey that just makes it look even more like a sleeper.

I think it is better than the older syle WRX's. The rear suspension is better, max torque kicks in at a lower rpm and the interior looks better. Performace wise, they are pretty equal. A lot of die hard Subaru fans hate the new WRX as well, but Car and Driver called it a budget bmw...

God i hate those models. The whole car is too square, just looks like a reg impreza. I like the back door panels on the new one.

But that shit looks dead on like the new evo from the back. But when did they never look alike.

Insurance is cheap if you can find a car that falls between the muscle/sports car and sedan catagories. I also owned a '75 LeMans Sport and it fell into the "luxury sedan" category despite having a 455ci performance motor. However, most insurance companies consider anyone under the age of 25 a liability if they're insuring a pre '82 (not sure?) car of any kind. It's basically hit or miss.

Also, the upkeep on a classic is difficult if it's not a sought-after car such as a Year One (parts company) car. My LeMans has been pure hell and extremely frustrating when searching for parts. I ended up with two complete parts cars just to repair the front end and it still didn't fit properly. Take Year One or OPGI cars into consideration if you're a novice enthusiast and want to own a classic. Think twice before scooping up something that's not easily found in parts books.
