I would have not listened to the wife, not sold the bug STI and kept on playing.

Saying that, I am happy I bought the 11. It's a great car to drive, looks hot and goes quick enough.

But, I love the look of a nicely done GC8, with basic mods, handling, and power... If I had $20k to spend on a car, a gc with the works, just like Kato's would be the go! a raw, mechanical subaru... not electronic, like the new ones...

I wouldnt have done anything different.....

Im happy that i had the RS to learn on before i picked up the STi.

Im happy i bought the cars that i wanted and was more than patient on the purchase of the STi.

I would buck the trend thats appearing of "20k + gc = win" and say "20k + gd = win"

Bigger car, more mods and have the option of 3 different front ends :-)

I would have put more effort into looking after my paint work.

looking at it now and knowing what i know i wouldn't have bought my RA i would have had an evo 3, same for the betty i would have bought a 9!

My other halfs X has a lot to answer for, i would now call myself more of a mitsu man than Subi (and i never in a million years would have thought that!)

wouldnt change anything
sure ive gone thru 7 sets of wheels, 4 i/c setups, 5 suspension configurations, 3 gearboxes, 2 engines and its sat unloved in the carport for months on end but i've learnt heaps and had a lot of fun along the way
its all worth it when it still puts a smile of your face evry time you jump in

Buying this car was probably the stupidest thing I've ever done financially, but I don't regret it at all. All frustrations are wiped away after a sunny arvo drive in the hills
