Nah, an '01 STM RS sedan. You may have noticed our toilet water brown turn lights.

Need to put that darned Osram order in soon..

We were only just behind you for a bit, in front of WallsMart and stuff.

You guys realize that Subaru's, including WRX's and STI's, are extremely commonplace, and that most of us see 4 or 5 a day, right? If we all posted every time we saw a Subaru, this thread would make up about 50% of the size of our database.

Note the date of the original post... December 2002... back when there were maybe 10 WRX's in Reno, and seeing one was rare. Nowadays, unless it's someone on the board, or some crazy modded car, it's just not "sighting worthy" to see an STI on the road. You might as well start posting "I saw 34 outbacks today" and list the intersections. :lol:

I'm not saying "don't post sightings"... I'm just wondering what the point is for all you people that are putting up sightings of random stock cars all the time? (Seriously, I'm not flaming... just wondering.)

Totally.

However, stock LGT wagons with 5MT's are exceptions to this rule.

Didn't notice you.


Speaking of seeing seccs members, I think we should High-Beam eachother. I wanted to start doing it, but I havent seen anyone that I know. High beam me, or expect a high beam if I notice you :P

I found waving works ok, and doesn't piss off other drivers and cop. :P

If it's a WRX I just flip them off.

Of course it's hard for them to see cause they are always ahead of you.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH now that was funny!

I saw a very cool looking Sedona Red Wagon, exactly like mine, and then realized I was driving next to a big bank of windows....But I did wave at myself!

MattR 2006-01-30 06:37 PM

Dude, Ezdno, you need to get out more...

How to entertain Ezdno, click here for details.

Ezdno 2006-01-30 06:44 PM

I need to get out more?....I was out earlier, digging a 200 ft trench for some power to a youth softball league scoreboard, and then I went to install some enterprise software, then I went to the bank, oh and I went to office max.....damn I need to get out more often.....oh did I mention I only work 4 hrs a day 4 days a week?

And it was funny, in the context used and knowing JC's pure hatred of a far superior model of subaru.

and even funnier is how many of the people that read that actually clicked it before checking its url properties.....lol

How many bone stock STI's did you see while out doing all that? :P

MattR 2006-01-31 05:23 PM

Back on track...

I saw Bruspeed getting on 395 today at Plumb Lane. I was in the truck. What's up dude?

Yeah, I saw the titan, and was like "I think that is Matt" <---Not really relevant.

I scored a fab job at Yesco on Glendale ave. And then my cuz is starting a neon shop around the corner, so we were browsing for pads. I'm really looking forward to being "local" should be rad! :D

MattR 2006-01-31 09:36 PM

Congrats Chris...Yesco is a good company. I'm sure we'll see you around more.

Thanks Matt.

Kevin M 2006-02-01 12:46 AM

Damn, now I feel stupid for driving past their billboard everyday for 3 months and not thinking to tell you that an electric sign company was hiring. :lol:

Ezdno 2006-02-01 01:14 PM

Well since its back up and on track so to speak, I saw a new Taco Bell commercial, utilizing a 04-05 Silver STi. I know its not a real siting, but you don't see many commercials with the subie. It might not be new either, but it is the first time I have seen it.

I'd heard about that but finally saw it for the first time last night. My girlfriend made fun of me because it looks exactly like my car, and now apperantly I'm sponsored by "Crunchwrap Supreme!".. Luckily a much lamer commercial with a Mini came on shortly after and I was able to return the abuse.

There's a Quaker State commercial with a similar Silver Sti . :(

Now that is some funny stuff. We are going to forget that by autocross season though. You might also remind her that as co-driver, she is "Miss Crunchwrap Supreme". And we should just leave that one alone I think...

Hahaha. :lol: I'm sure it will come up somehow, most likely over the PA. :lol:

Next up, Mr and Mrs Crunchwrap Supreme running in an 2004 STi!
Or something like that.

sp00ln 2006-02-01 08:13 PM

Saw Matt today in his "seccs" stickered titan on McCarren today. I bet he saw me.. or us. I wasn't driving, but riding around in that POS 1g eclipse.
