Steve's 09 Legacy GT Now with some beat her action

Figured I'll finally make one of these things


For the past 4 years I've been driving a Chevy S10 pickup and pretty much hated every moment of it. Many times I have wanted to buy a used car let it be a 240sx or a 2.5RS or others. But every time I wanted to buy something my parents would always tell me no and you're not buying a used car that was most likely beat on, let alone one that has over 130k miles on it.

Once I finally got a job in my career field I was like what if I buy a new car instead of buying a used car. Which they where cool with, something that had a warranty and what not. I looked at a few different cars, Lexus IS250, MB C230, Subaru's. I only had two requirements in the new car, but be either RWD or AWD and but be a stick shift, even though I've never driven a stick shift car in my life more on that later.

I looked at the IS and was disappointed in the rear seats how they seem crammed to me so that was out, then the MB seemed to nice for me so meh. Which led me to Subaru which I've always loved, looked at the new WRX and the Legacy's. To me the new WRX I weren't feeling yet and they just seemed a little cheap. I went to Reedmans two different times to test drive a legacy, first time I drove a auto 2.5i and the second time a auto 3.0R, but I never got a chance to drive a 2.5GT.

Fast forward to the weekend of March 21st-22nd I emailed Colonial Subaru and see what the can do about interest rates on a 09 Legacy GT. That Wednesday the 25th we go up to there and talk to the guy I was talking to by email and phone and show him I found the car I wanted up in Newtown square PA. Guy tells me sure no problem I can get it here by 9pm to night. Well I figured since my dad was with me we weren't going to "buy" said car that same night but low and behold we did. So I walked out the door buying a new car with out even seeing or test driving it. Fast forward to Friday the 27th, I call my uncle up and tell him hey you need to drive a car home for me.

So we go to the dealer (my dad, uncle and me) go look around the lot for my car, and we find it out front. The one thing I did not want was the wing. Lucky for me the one that was out in Newtown Square was wingless so I was very happy about that. So after looking at the car real close and finding a couple marks on the leather and this weird scuff on the hood scoop I handed the guy my deposit and grab my papers and we left.


So thats pretty much what lead me to here now minus a few small details and what not
