Well if you're interested I get wholesale on anything made by rays engineering (volk, gram lights etc) and a few other japanese wheel makers.

Its the least I could offer for great music.

Way to go! You really can't go wrong with Japanese cars, they last forever.
They are more a computer than a car.... And if anything fucks, u cant fix it urself (and my experience with nissan is that they tend 2 drive u crazy in theese mathers. Itīs like driving around in an apple or a mac...

Grats on the WRX, looks nice.  My buddy just sold his (not out of necessity, he never drove the thing and felt bad just letting it sit in his garage).  I was thinking about making an offer, but I didn't really need the car.

Personally, I would have gone with the G35, but I'm not sure what your budget was and what your insurance would have been.  Actually, I have been looking at a few cars since I think mine is about to give out on me, hopefully I'll get another year before my precious dies. 

Tops on my list are the G35, Mustang, Corvette(I can hope), and F150.  I was also thinking about the Ford Fusion and the Nissan Altima, but I prefer to get a rearwheel or an allwheel drive on my next vehicle.

As for anyone that thinks one car brand is better maintenance-wise than another - I disagree.  It is all about how you take care of the vehicle.  I have a Pontiac that is 12 years old and about 160k on the odometer.  But I will say, some cars are just prone to fail regardless of manufacture.

Not a big G35 fan but they are a fine car. Just tired of seeing them. WRX wasn't my number 1 from the start but I couldn't pass up a car with 1900 on the odo for under 20k. I love it now I have it :)

Do you realize you could have gotten a really COOL moto for that price?  Here are my top choices!

(although bmw is coming out with a new liter bike that is supposed to rip up the street and track for 2010, well it's already on the race track doing pretty decent)

Motorbike isn't a very sensible all year vehicle in Wisconsin :p

I used to read a blog from a guy in Minnesota that would ride his scooter to work even in winter.  I did that to remind me how easy I have it riding my motorbike to work in Nevada.

I dunno how that'd be possible here, I have a foot of snow in my street some days.

Gonna throw some snow tires on the WRX and tear it up!

I've got an Isuzu Trooper, it doesn't have enough torque to break the wheels loose on dry ground, but I took it out in the snow last winter and left it in 2WD, it slid around like something from Tokyo Drift! lots of fun. (Granted I almost took out a telephone pole!)

There's no sympathetic posturing. There's no more true humanity. The old ways aren't working anymore. Lets separate the users from the whores.

Yeah, my celica (unintentionally) did that every winter. Pretty glad I won't be driving it this winter.
