Saying Goodbye to the WRX
I am sad to say that I have sold my Subaru WRX as of last Saturday. The car had been to hell and back with me and I can’t thank it enough for the last 7 years. In the time that I owned the Subie it brought smiles and looks of fear to many peoples faces. It was a hard decision to sell the trusty steed, but it is time to move on to a new ride (hopefully with heated seats for my sore back). I figured it would be a good idea to share a few memories of the car for a proper goodbye. Read on and enjoy the ride.
Bangin’ Corners in Autocross
The Subaru turned out to be a great car for my first year of Autocross racing. The grocery-getting wagon could make many other cars look silly in the corners. I finished the Autocross season in 2nd place and burned up a ton of tires! You’re welcome for the roller coaster ride Mom!
Whippin’ Donuts
Many friends will remember how well this car handled in the snow. One of most memorable experiences was during a trip to Big Sky Montana in 2008. The Subie and I performed some high powered drifts that made a few passengers hang on for their life in the ski resort parking lot…. Also on that same trip, the WRX saved us from a near-death experience with Robb behind the wheel.
Biking/Sweating in Colorado
The Subie loved to carry as many sporting goods as possible at any given time. This time it took us to beautiful Woodland Park in Colorado for some mountain biking fun. Even though the trails beat us up, the seats were still comfy and the bikes fit just great on the back…
I left out a ton of great memories, some of which on purpose. In conclusion, I would like to thank Subaru for all the years of loyal service. I’m currently looking for my next Subaru powered “Memory Machine.”

Sad day. Although I will miss the bumpy road trips, I am looking forward to a cushier ride with heated seats!
