Were you expecting a parade? If you posted on a Subaru forum about your new Shelby you'd probably get the about 2 posts as well. It's a Focus forum. Nobody posts on the RangerPowerSports website about buying a Tacoma or a Dakota looking for a medal. Most people "get it".

Hope Aka enjoys his new car. Hey, whatever turns your crank.

I was not expecting a parade, or much of anything really. I was just happy because I bought a new to me car and kind of expected a bunch of the usual fake "congrats" posts. Since I'm a member here and post from time to time, thought I'd post here as well. I posted in Off Topic because that's what it is, I think that shows I "understand". And I've seen others do it before me and figured 'hey, why not'
Thanks for your reply though....

It's funny the reaction of the Subaru guys though, they're all like "You sold the coolest Subaru ever, for a fake Saabaru!" because I sold my '99 2.5 RS for this instead of swapping the hell out of it.

I've already started accumulating mods, I've got a catless up pipe off an STI, and looking for deals on the rest. Hoping to go "Cobb-on-the-Saab" Stage 2. And I'm looking to put my better brakes off my old RS on to it, because I'd gotten them upgraded to 2006 WRX 4/2pots. They're red and say SUBARU on them lol. I'm starting to wonder if I can fit the big Brembo's under the stock 17" rims though instead.

There's no leather in mine, I actually didn't like the leather, I found it slippery and didn't want to fall out under the seatbelt or something. It didn't seem like the nicest leather in the world either, but I did only sit in one specimen with leather.

I don't like the stock stereo much, but the added soundproofing helps a lot towards it. It's a MUCH quieter car than my RS was, as I don't have to listen anywhere near as loud to enjoy my music. But it still requires more bass. Not that trunk vibrating kind, but more presence is needed. However my biggest complaint with the stock stereo is I can't plug my iPod into it. There's no AUX jacks, sucks so bad. I hate fiddling with CDs in the car.
