It was a $80k WRX
Take a look at this $80k WRX, and then scroll down to take a look at what used to be an $80k WRX.

That must hurt. I'm guessing the ins company won't cover the $80k.

Why?
Why would anyone (in their right mind or not) put $80k into a car like that? For $80k, wouldn't you atleast put in a proper welded in cage that fits AND proper fire equipment?

It's a "show car" which seems to mean hang all sorts of crap on the car to impress boys in baggy pants.
His mistake was confusing show car with street racer. Proper welded in cage? Be happy it was metal rather than PVC.

I think the WRX is a sweet little ride. Very powerful, and useful for those living in the hell I left behind me (the northeast).
That said, $80k into one doesn't make very much sense. I actually doubt he put that much in- where did it go? I mean, figure it: Stupid Loud Stereo: $4000 Turbo Stage 11 kit: $12000 Suspension: $4000 Brakes: $3000 Cage: $1000 wiggity wheels: $4000 Racing seats: $1000 NOS: $2000 That is all grotesquely overpriced I think, and it only adds up to $31,000. How do we get to 80k? |

And, IMO, the WRX is cool looking- although I like the older generation with the round lights. The newer one tries to be pretty- the older one was totally in my face.

I think the fresh air intake for the driver cut into the roof is hella sweet.
