new Daily: still a wagon, not a Honda (Saabaru content)

hey people, been quite a while since i posted anything, i have been SUPER busy with school, senior status at college means no me-time lol anyway..

so i have been looking into picking up a newer vehicle, simply because my little Civic was getting stressed driving 350+ miles a week, and in turned would stress me out.

being a big fan of Subarus, i looked into getting a WRX when i happened to come across the "Saabaru".. luxury and style of Saab with Subaru mechanics. perfect! the best part, its a good 3000-5000 bucks cheaper then its WRX twin :shock:

also, seeing as i like rarer cars, aka, Civic Wagon, this fit as well. i was only made for 2 years with less then 5000 Aero models in production.

with that being said, i still have the Civic, and it is now enjoying some chill time in the garage looking pretty and clean lol. i plan to keep her, and continue to work out the a few kinks and eventually do a full body restoration.

so, with no further adieu, the Saabaru. my new daily driver.

    Congrats, I love these personally. My good friend has a modded one as his DD. His Alfa Romeo is a bigger pita then your wagon! Haha But goodluck, my friend recently got a WRX with MINOR mods and has had ALOT of issues since he's got it. :(
