    What's up Mike. Still playing softball?
    What cars are you looking at? Each year/model has it's own issues. Cost to fix ranging from a couple paychecks to divorce settlement.

    Hey buddy, long time no see! Unfortunately, I only played on a work softball team when I had time this past summer. Taking night classes right now for my new life venture and that's been keeping me super busy :)

    Nice having you here and good luck with your search!

    So, it's a bit early to say, but the newer turbo motors (2010+ legacy gt and 2015 wrx) seems to be holding up better than the turbo ej25x in the 06-14 wrx and 05-09 lgt in the reliability department. They're definitely much easier to work on imo.

    New lease rates are hard to beat. You don't see 0.9% on the wrx, but 2.9% pops up often enough. Locally, Morries and Walser have good warranty programs (but require service and maintenance done there) for both new and used if that's a concern.

    Nice choice! I think you made a wise decision based on what I have heard about the new wrx. Hopefully you bought it from Walser or Morries!

    Yum! Snow needs to melt so I can pull my machine (well both the bike and car) out of the garage.

    Story of my life :( I used to ride almost year-round in college but that was when I had an older bike that I didn't care too much about. I wait until most/all of the salt is off the roads before this one is coming out.
