^Do you have an 04-5 wrx? I have seen one before, south of town in the walmart shopping center.

SteveM 2008-03-21 07:52 AM

Yeah, it an 04. If you have seen it in the last three weeks, and it has bike racks on top, it is me. Lots of good food in that shopping center!

Saw a rally blue bugeye WRX with a carbon hood and black steel rims heading south on Virginia next to UNR at around 7:50 am this morning...very nice but I wonder what rims he runs during the summer?

JonnydaJibba 2008-03-21 08:03 AM

Every once in a while I see a silver 04 WRX (perhaps even an RS) that has TWENTY INCH RIMS ON IT. Whats better even is that he has the "chrome" 20" badge... so gaaaaaaay.

Also, I saw an R8 on the streets of Alicante (so hot) and one at the Hethro Airport on display (so hot right now).

cody 2008-03-21 08:08 AM

I always get pissed when I see other yellow wagons...posers.

I see that guy almost every morning. Maybe he damaged the stock rims and replaced them with steelies.

The guys name is Sal and he works at Summit Racing. I park next to his car every time I go there and just sit back and say "damn, I wonder how that rides". He is also on springs, I can't remember which ones. He seems like a nice guy, but his car is crying out for help.

I don't know if he knows that he drives a SUBARU.:lol:

I parked next to it last time I was at summit too... I got out and was like :huh:

100_Percent_Juice 2008-03-21 08:42 AM

Honestly, if a Subaru wasn't a performance car, I don't think 20's look that bad on it. I think it could look pretty good. BUT I do so hate those wheels he has. Plus they are really skinny, probably 7.5 which is small for 20s.

sperry 2008-03-21 08:54 AM

Even putting weight and performance penalties aside, 20's are still too big on nearly every car. Unless the car was made with *huge* wheel wells for running something like a 285/40/20 tire, 20" rims end up with too little tire on them so they fit on the car meaning you bend the crap out of them with every pothole.

I have seen that same one. Every day at my school I see a 05 STi with black hood and and trunk lid with 20 inch rims and the 20" badge also.

JonnydaJibba 2008-03-21 03:15 PM

It's not an STi though. I'm sure we are thinking of the same one. It has a carbon fiber hood with an STi scoop and cf trunk. But it has teeny brakes, standard bumper and a black interior.

Yeah thats the same one. He is always at my school dropping some one off. He almost got stuck on one of the deadly speed bumps at wooster.

I think I saw that car parked at Summit earlier this week.

bxracer69 2008-03-23 12:46 PM

I just saw it up here in incline this morning on my way to the mountain

JonnydaJibba 2008-03-24 08:24 AM

Man that guy gets around eh?

wrxkidid 2008-03-24 10:32 PM

I saw him in Maui. O wait. Maybe its a amphibios car?

Bob Danger 2008-03-31 08:03 PM

I saw Nick (WRX06TR) on his way to work Saturday morning.

I saw Jeremiah's (M3n2c3) RS in Carson today.

I think I may have seen Nick (Juan Bon Jovi), turning onto Virgina St. from McCarren Blvd. around 8:30pm.

Nick Koan 2008-03-31 08:20 PM

Yeah, that sounds about right.

PecoFC 2008-03-31 09:30 PM

any one see the a new silver gtr driving around. saw him on both sides of town.

Dude, Andy! What's up bro?

Surprisingly I have not, but I'm sure it won't be long before I see it at work... in pieces.

Highdesertsuby 2008-04-01 01:53 PM

I keep seeing a rally blue WRX with gold Rota Torques in the north Circus Circus parking garage. Might be a bugeye, but not sure. Student at UNR...? Also saw a slightly lowered White STi (06-07) with gold BBS's on Vista near Baring heading south around 7:45 am...sounded really nice

Nick Koan 2008-04-01 02:19 PM

The blue WRX with gold torques sound like it might be Shelby (aka Shoobie)

moose 2008-04-01 04:35 PM

I saw a green 4dr Impreza with a noisy exhaust and a Ver5/6 wing.

Technically I didn't see you. Just your car.

Joeyy 2008-04-01 11:05 PM

I saw Vic's tires in Truckee today. Nice new Falkens yes they were. It's going to be fun to watch him in the STI.

Yeah that car sucks. The dude is registered here but has only posted like twice or something.

JonnydaJibba 2008-04-03 07:19 AM

This dude probably isn't registered here, but I'll give it a shot. I saw a black 06 STi with black wheels and a black front mount. Had a SnoMor decal on the windshield. Twas very pretty.

Highdesertsuby 2008-04-04 09:19 AM

Saw a black wingless WRX with blacked out tail lights on 395 southbound by Parr this morning, he popped off his BOV a couple of times on his way past me...then two cars behind him was a lowered sliver 04/05 WRX with what looked like 18 in. gold multi-spokes (looked way better than the black WRX in front)...

I think I saw these guys going down (up) Parr Blvd. ~ late 6:00 - 7:00 something.

I saw Jonny driving up Parr about the same time, as well.

Nick Koan 2008-04-04 01:10 PM

I think I saw the juice driving today on South Meadows around 1:45pm.

JonnydaJibba 2008-04-04 01:30 PM

Hillary what were you driving? I'm quite oblivious during my morning drive.

Highdesertsuby 2008-04-04 01:31 PM

BTW, the black WRX with no wing had plates "RICEBOY"

Hi,

I wasn't - I was sitting in a parking lot along the street (Parr Blvd) wasting time in the Brighton (white V3 front), and the RS was parked a spot or two to my right (but facing away from the street).

I saw the 'Ring decal again. =.P

I almost beeped, but I was in an early morning daze (hey, I woke up at 4:00 to get the cars there), hence my text to you.

I think I was multitasking, too;

1. eating breakfast (not on the phone)
2. talking to an RS25 board member on the phone
3. installing center console and HU stuff

Heh.

Oh, and after all of that - the carrier's not going to pick up until tomorrow morning. :unamused:

BOO 2008-04-05 06:19 AM

Driving up Parr Yesturday around 6pm-ish(On the way to the freeway) saw an RS with "GC8LOVE" on the plates. Then over by Vista on 80w I spot a (white) '09 Skyline GT-R. needless to say it was a good day :)

That was me.. in the Skyline. :?:

Wait, no.. yeah, that was my RS! (I shoulda parked it nose out)

I was also around the same area this morning, getting both cars transloaded. I saw someone or other drive by and look, but I can't remember the Subaru specifics.. it was too early.

Nick Koan 2008-04-05 05:41 PM

So, was it an 09 Skyline (aka Infinity G37) or was it an 09 GTR?

09 GTR aka Vette Killer

Forgotten 2008-04-08 09:43 PM

Saw Nick at Qdoba. Those 5zigens look hot.

WRX06TR 2008-04-08 09:59 PM

Thanks, I need to clean the car and snap a few pics...

wrxkidid 2008-04-08 11:35 PM

I was in costco twice today and didn't once see nick...
what the hell? wheres the love?

WRX06TR 2008-04-08 11:37 PM

Ha...due to school I only work Fri-Mon. Sorry you didn't have the opportunity to laugh at me pulling carts :lol:

100_Percent_Juice 2008-04-09 08:52 AM

^Do you work with a guy named travis?

WRX06TR 2008-04-09 08:54 AM

There is a Travis that works in Membership...why?

100_Percent_Juice 2008-04-09 08:56 AM

I was just curious, my brother-in-law was good friends with him. He must have been promoted since I saw him pulling carts.
