Well I got the car itch again. I went looking last weekend at the 350Z and a few Honda Accords. I was looking originally for a luxury/sport car, but due to money restrictions I couldn't really get what I wanted, even used. (Expensive tastes I guess 
). I wanted a more "practical" car too, and the Z didn't really fit the bill. I ended up going to Subaru and looking at the WRX again. I have always loved that blue color even though it's played out a bit. And they sort of have a "only a mother could love" look. But that has grown on me too I guess because it doesn't bother me now. So I test drove one that had a short shifter and spoiler and some good options that I liked.
So I bought a 2003 5-speed WR Blue Pearl WRX. Got a pretty good deal. Paid near invoice price, and got more for my truck than anyone was willing to give. I could have sold it for what I owed but probably not for a couple months till summer gets here. So it was either pay my truck payment for 4-5 more months then buy a car, or take a $2000 hit on negative equity and get it now. Since my truck payment was hideous, the $2000 hit was a better deal, plus I start paying on the car now which means I will own it sooner.
Guess I'll have to take some pics and make a new sig now.
