Yeah, I met him monday night. I told him that you said whats up. I've started already, and it's pretty overwhelming the first day. So much info. I think I'll be alright though. I work again tomorrow through monday. I need to sell some cars.

I thought I saw an '06 the other day, but when I got close I realized it was just a '52 Edsel.

I can't believe you cant't get past the front end (after market front bump and its fixed), its the C-Pillar mini wing that gets me :huh:

I saw a pretty cute girl in a dirty black 05 STi last week. Wanted to chase her down in my EVO and mess with her a little, then direct her here. But had to go to work. :(

JonnydaJibba 2005-09-28 12:20 PM

It's not just the front end for me, its most of the car, visually. The wing looks boxier then ever, taillights suck, headlights suck, the front end is just the cherry on top of all the suck. I think they took a good thing (04 & 05s) and ruined em. That is how I see them. Well besides being hella fast.

SlickNick112 2005-09-28 12:56 PM

We'll I guess that means that whoever has the 04-05's has got a gem. Congrats to you guys......Now I can't wait until I can afford a new 06. That way I've got something different.

Really? I think it clutters the back end up a bit, but overall I like the way it alters the car's profile. :cool:

well I'm sure it will grow on me no the less, as others have all ready fallen I'm positive its just a matter of when one pulls up to the meet.

I just know with looking at kits that it really doesnt matter because anything can be changed :lol:

I want this one :Ings +1

M3n2c3 2005-09-29 11:37 AM

That's niiice.

Well, the body kit, at least. I'm not feelin' the rims.

JC: you gotta have someone cover your car back up before the rain, wind and dust do nasty things to it. . .

Mojo Troll 2005-09-30 09:18 PM

I had to run up to Eugene OR this week. Along the trip I spotted 10-12 haulers transporting STI's and various WRX's headed south on I 5.

I've heard that Portland's port imports a great deal of Subarus, but I could be wrong.

At any rate, the majority of the STI's were the over popular blue or silver. Noticed a couple of black ones, but the majority were blue or silver. Theres no mistaking the ridiculous spoiler on the ass end of the 06 STI's.

The WRX's on the other hand ran the spectrum on color, as well as, sedans/wagons.

The best I could tell most of the haulers were loaded with STI's and WRX only.

Just thought everyone might like to know. Maybe a couple of those haulers were scheduled to stop in Reno/Carson.

As a side note. I had to drive by the local Subaru dealer in Eugene OR while on business for three days. Did'nt have time to stop in. All I seen was a black '06 WRX Wagon on the lot. Dayum near side swiped a couple of cars and jumped the curb serveral times during those three days worth of passes. :lol:

sp00ln 2005-10-01 06:48 PM

I saw mike(Sti) twice today.. on mccarren by 395n

SlickNick112 2005-10-02 08:30 AM

I saw brandon the other day drive through my sales lot......I was working on selling an Sti.

knucklesplitter 2005-10-02 01:34 PM

Saw white '06 WRX wagon at the intersection of McCarren and Kings Row. That car looks much better in person.

I've been thinking the same thing myself. They may look nice on white.

So do they fit?

So you work at Gamestop? I drove buy a couple times, I was gonna come in and say what up but I was super busy. Oh yeah this was Saturday.

Also anyone here have a blue 98ish RS coupe with clears (barf)?

where you in the Talon? I must of had the kids with me.

knucklesplitter 2005-10-03 12:46 PM

Michael Hohl in CC has a white '06 STI. I stopped by and gave it a looksy at lunch. I'll say it again, the car definitely looks better in person. Perhaps in a few years we'll look back and wonder what all the fuss was about. Having said that, I still don't like it. And the taillights are too Alteezic.

Yep. If the white '05 RS is in the lot, then I'm in the store. :cool:

Yeap, you did. And yes, I was.

SlickNick112 2005-10-04 08:25 PM

Did they just have that one? We have 15 on the lot right now here in Reno. Every color, with silver and gold wheel packages. My favorite right now would definately have to be the Black on Silver. So SEXY!

CARSON:

Be on the lookout for a Black '04 WRX Wagon w/ dark tint, that was my first sale from Lithia Subaru. It's a sexy car. The guys name is Chris, he works over at Truck Stop Accessories as an installer. Go give him a hard time. He's a really good guy! Hopefully I can get him to come to a meet soon.

JonnydaJibba 2005-10-05 06:22 AM

I saw like 7 or 8 06 STIs on a truck going toward Carson on my way home yesterday. I wonder if carson is getting any.

Hohl may have had more, but I was in a hurry and just saw the one white STI outside. They still have lots of '05 WRXs, and few if any '06s.

SlickNick112 2005-10-05 09:29 AM

All we have in Reno are '06's

JonnydaJibba 2005-10-06 06:22 AM

It bothers when I see other Subies and the people driving them don't know that you are driving one... I followed a silver RS coupe today from Mt Rose highway to Carson and when I finally pass him and wave, he just stares at me. Wowzorz thanks. I know he was a tuner guy too because he had an exhaust, rims and his car was low and bouncin a lot for the highway. Coilovers maybe. Poor me...

knucklesplitter 2005-10-06 10:26 AM

That wasn't me, but sorry, if I don't know you and you wave at me in my Subie, I'll prolly nod at the most. I just don't get it I guess.

Were you in that white L? That was me. Sorry I didn't get a chance to wave. I was distracted by my passenger (officemate).

JonnydaJibba 2005-10-07 06:15 AM

Oh cool. I thought you were just another dude. Also when I wrote that I was in the midst of a bad day.

U53D 2005-10-09 03:10 PM

Silver RS coupe? I think you may have driven past me through Washoe on my way to a meet about a month ago. If you remember a white '05 RS with METROID plates, that was me. :P

Hey, I wave when I see you (with one finger) :p

The outback guy is back at UNR finishing his degree. I told him about the boards so maybe he'll make it to the meets one of these days.

I think I saw David (Skimonkey) on Silverado Trail in Napa Friday afternoon. I was standing at my sister's driveway drinking beer with my brother.

At least it was a white STI with SS fender blocks.
