ya i upgraded and got the foglights too, i wanted a used WRX but my mom wouldn't let me get a used car so i got an impreza. it took me like 30 phone calls to find someone who would do an exhaust on my car, but i found someone!!
which is nuts considering how many subaru's are on the road here in utah!!

my dream ski cars would be the brand new v10 twin turbo audi rs6 avant for ballerness.
 or an evo 8/9 with 15 inch rally rims, some really nice studded snow tires, dirt suspsnsion (longer travel), skid plates, etc.. for fun.  driving to the resort would be a constant drift!

just imagine driving this up to the mountain,

psssh.. if your gonna get an sti why not just go for an evo? ive driven both and the evo is so much better in every way. sti's are still a great car, but it cant compare to an evo.

Evo's may look a little cooler, but in my experience have many more problems than sti's.  You can't really say a car is better just because you have driven it around a lot.  It basically just comes down to preference.  And I personally like the way sti's drive more than evo's.

im probably going to end up with a mid to alte 90s saab 9000. 2.4 liter 4 cylinder with a turbo, 5 spd manual, front wheel drive. doesnt sound overly special but my dad had one a few years ago and with snow tires on it we never had a problem getting through anything. 30 mpgs highway too.

both sti's and evo's are relatively problem free for what they are.  and yes some people may like the way the sti drives more because its more comfortable and easier to drive. but when it comes down to performance the evo is much better.
