I'll give you 10 years SSS I've been modding cars since I was 17. I tried giving up to do something more economically sensible and bought myself a nice sensible family car. That got wiped out in the snow a couple of years ago, so I bought a MY02 WRX. You can guess the rest.

You think you got it bad my wife complained when I hit 40 that I was having a midlife crisis due to my obsession with subaru's and fast bikes that was 7 years ago gave up the bikes carried on with the impreza's more trackdays/wanting more out of the car the list is endless and then she has the cheek to get me to buy a new kitchen well you cant win them all thats what I say,she gets her kitchen smile back on her face and I carry on the way I was happy life.

Oh my god! 50 years young

Done the rallying, motorbikes, off-roading, so convinced the wife I was over the 'car thing' and was sent out to buy a sensible family car to seat the 5 of us with good luggage capacity
Job done, came home with the Subaru



We all love it!
