Default Finally taken the plunge to be a WRX owner

So was just wanting to know if there was anything I should know about owning/driving a new WRX.

Thanks

Fine choice. I've had my wrx for 6 months now and it still makes me smile even when just taking it easy.

Although I am starting to feel the call of the PPP

Wave at other scooby drivers.

Oh, and be careful spending your time on here; you'll be washing it with a freshly bleached lamb & bottled water, changing the oil (what was the type I should use again?) in strange ways, warming the engine with kittens for a week before starting it, blowing on the engine for 5.23 hours to cool it down after a drive and other totally normal behaviours...
