Default 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

yep.. belive it not..
i got a car... not just "a" car... but an awsome one!!
yep a STI im sooo !!!
i got it today around 6... ok her's the story..:
- I dont really know how it started but simply talkin about cars with my dad he figured i was interested in the STI alot.. together with the S2000... but the s2000 is too "impractical" since it only fits 2 so he rather go for the STI... my dad never test drove the STI.. which i think was a good thing casuse he would have probably backed off if he would have seen how fast it is...
anywyas we went to the dealersip a couple times but my dad didnt look very interested... but they kept calling and making offers like free short throw shifter.. (around 400$ buks), and they wven said if u buy it today we'll lower the price 1,000$... but my dad wasnt interested..
until last week he turned in our Yukon xl which no one needed now since my mom got a new truck for Christmas.. so he gave that in and went on a business trip so i had to wait..
There were only gray STI's at that dealership.. and i wanted it either black or blue.. i coudnt make up my mind.. but i went after the black one cause its not as common and looks as good. the car supposedly came with normal gunmetal wheels but turned out to have golden wheels.. i dont really mind.... it looks good...
anyways we went to pick it up today.. i drove it a little and the cars feels soo powerfull and responsive!! it feels like a little toy!! a little expensive toy that is
anywyas let me post some pics so u dont get boored then ill keep talkin a little



A picture i liked and the custom pic, kinda:


yea the pics suck ill take proper pictures later... tomorrow.. i just coudnt wait to post it here!
i know theyr dark and the custom pic is bad too but just wait till tomorrow..
and ill post about the driving experience (which wasnt much), because i dont have my licence yet... so i "Cant drive it", ill get my licence hopefully on my birthday if i pas the tests... (APRIL 27TH) so its not thaaat bad..
hope u like it!

comment please!
thanks

Nice car man, still not 100% impressed by the look of the 06's but in black and STi form its pretty good.

Take it easy on the road, too many horror stories with guys your age and fast cars.

STI in black are pure sex! Congrats and have (safe) fun!

Woah what a car, defintley nice dude! You had a 300ZX before this right?

Very nice! take car, and take some proper driving lessons, defensive driving etc, you will need it if you are going to drive that car. Because you have a fast car, does not mean you can or have the skill to drive it fast dude, remember that.

fantastic first car!

Be safe with it - the 4WD should sort you out (just kiddin)

One question though, how do you get insured on a 200BHP + car at 17? In the UK, we would have to pay in excess of £4000 per year, and have to look for a very specialist insurance company too :roll:

USA is a bit cheaper...

im guessing the car is insured under his dad alone until oscar gets his license; at that point; he could be added as a second driver. my "very rough" estimate woud say its about 1200-1600 pounds/ year like that...
