enjoy your d90! I want one inTasman with the white roof and 18” steelies as well, however I want the 110.

The S2000, unlike the VA STi, is a bonefide classic. Holding onto it is smart. Such a cool RWD, high RPM ripper. I wanted one but prices have gone nuts.

31,000 miles and slowly counting haha. It’s such a fun car. I had an 01 for a year and a half back in 07. After I sold her I knew I made a mistake. I stumbled on this one in 2011 with 16,000 miles and jumped on her.

My STi spent plenty of time sideways on snow. Trust me. Haha. So much fun.

I just needed time to wax her before the snow hits. Now considering selling her and keeping her shiny. I’ll still have plenty of fun in the snow with my 97 Cherokee.

All of us who sold our defenders to Carmax appreciated your opinions as well!

just sold my second one to them. Great way to get out from under these and put some extra money in your pocket.

Today is pick up day. I hope I like the damn thing after about 6 months of waiting. I think I will.

If not, Carmax is on the way home. Haha.
