^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).

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:

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

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
