making the Audi-haters happy

After flirting with an FJ, instead pulled the trigger on something different...well, different than an FJ. Thursday pick up a 2009 Subaru WRX wagon. Yeah, it ain't much of a looker, but Subaru, after screwing up the 2008 redesign, actually listened to customers and made a pretty kick arse car. AWD, 265hp, 244 ftlbs torque, horizontally opposed engine and tach in the center of the dash where it belongs.

Below invoice prices along with low interest rates made for a good deal. The Audi will either get traded in or sold pp - not sure yet. It still has warranty left so someone will enjoy it. It was a good car, but I didn't want to thrash the leather interior, the front seat never really fit me right, and certainly wasn't going to keep it out of warranty. The plan is that the WRX will likely make a few tracks dates a year and also serve as the mtn bike hauler and kid hauler.
