    So I drank the Subaru KoolAid

    As long as the insurance isn't too much more than my truck, I've become the proud owner of a 2010 WRX Limited 5-Door. Big thumbs up to Manchester Subaru. They worked for the sale where another dealership hadn't. Met the owner (actually, he was the first person I talked to when I got there). Seems like a nice guy. Very good experience overall. Barring anything strange happening, I pick it up Tuesday night.

    Thanks. Pics will probably wait until Wednesday at least as I'm sure it will be dark by the time I get home. Got to love living in northern NH.

    Yup. The owner saw the ramp in the back of my truck and I mentioned that I raced at Loudon. He said he had a guy that worked there that raced too and asked if I knew Chris.

    Nice, those 2009+ wrx's make some serious power. I went to a dyno day at esp with new england subarus and a stage 2 (turboback and tune) 2009 wrx put down 285 to the wheels on a mustang dyno. Very impressive for so few mods!

    Congrats on the new subie and good choice on Mach vegas Subaru. I think they're great and will probably put a Manchvegas Subaru/Chris Watt Sticker on my car soon.

    FWIW, my 2004 seemed like it was built from beer cans. My 2007 is much better. From what I hear, 2005 brought a considerable improvement in paint durability and quality.

    The paint on my '06 would lead me to belive otherwise. Has needed a complete respray since '08.
