For your consideration is my 2005 Subaru STI, nearly mint and with lots of cool modifications. This vehicle has been featured in the World of Wheels car show in Kansas City, taking first place 2 years in a row. It took 1st place in NOPI, arguably the largest import car show in the world, in the vinyl design category in 2007 and 1st in over a dozen other car shows locally. The car has ALWAYS either been under a Wolf Revolution car cover in a driveway, or in a garage under cover. The car does have 38,400 miles, but has been in my possession since brand new in June 2004, and is on only its 9thoil change (synthetic of course). So that means it’s been driven only an average of about 4K miles a year. That said, here is the description from bumper to bumper: The hood is a custom Kevlar fiber weave having a blue/gold tone (I still have the original hood and is mint) and is lifted by TEIN hood dampers so the hood prop is no longer needed. Due to the speeds the car is capable of, I installed hood pins to assure me that the hood could not come loose and hit the windshield. The underside of the hood has been hand shaped and painted to match the exterior color of the car. There is a blue RFI blow off valve on the inlet of the intercooler, coming from a SPT high air flow  intake which replaced the factory intake(still have that and was painted to match the car). The factory turbo dumps into a 4” bell mouth Invidia downpipe. The exhaust is a 3” PIT performance exhaust which sounds incredible (I still have the factory exhaust which has less than7K miles). I did not crack the motor to do performance upgrades but there are fresh platinum spark plugs which were installed about 5K miles ago when the carwas placed on a 4 wheel dyno. The car pulled 293hp at the wheels on 91 octane gas and could be tuned to 310hp at the wheels, if the fuel was leaned out. This is about a 100hp increase from the factory settings. I chose to keep it safe and leave the gas mix richer, resulting in an occasional back fire at full throttle shifts in 1st and 2nd (fans loved the 2-3 flame when it was really getting it). The wheels are the original factory but have been professionally painted to match the cars color scheme. The tires are brand new with less than 1K miles. I also have a summer set of tires with about 7Kmiles and are a bit taller (better ride) and on the silver BBS rims. The interior dash and vents have been hand painted with 10 coats of matching blue paint and 12 coats of clear, making a stunning shine. The DVD player is top of the line Kenwood Excelon DDX 7015, which cost $1800 brand new (still have the factory 6 disk cd changer). It is hooked to Polk Pro audio speakers in the front and rear, with the front speakers and 8” JL Audio sub being driven by an 800W Power Acoustik amp professionally mounted in the trunk. The trunk also has two mounted 7” Boss monitors that used to hook under the front passengers seat to a Playstation II. We used to play video games wirelessly and watch them from the trunk during car shows. The speakers in the trunk lid also work and have a blue light when operated with the beat of the music. There is a Gold Pro neon light kit (top of the line real neon bulbs, not led) that works perfectly under all sides of the car and make the car appear to float on blue light (legal in my city). The exterior neon lights and interior LED lights are operated by small factory dip switches on the left side of the dash. The color on the exterior of the car is ALL vinyl and can be removed if desired with a heat gun and some time if it’s not to your taste. I have had absolutely no problems with this car and hate to sell her,but all she does is sit in the garage and collect time and dust, being driven less than 2K miles last year. It needs a good home where someone will love her like I have and enjoy it. The car gets about 19MPG on the highway if you’re gentle on the throttle, otherwise it’s about 15MPG and hell-a-fun. Serious inquires only and no joy rides. I reserve the right to end this auction at any time, as it is available locally as well. Look it over, judge for yourself. It’s one of the fastest cars on the road bar none, but could still fit a family of 4 comfortably (that’s why I got it instead of a 2 door). Remember, there is an original hood, full exhaust and stereo included as well as a full set of matched nearly new tires and wheels.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).

2015 Subaru WRX

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

Every time I drive a Subaru WRX, I wish one of my parents had taken some weird, top-secret spy job that would have forced us to relocate to Finland when I was a kid. I could have learned the art of rally-style car control as a young lad, and in my adult life, sought out a dangerous/rewarding/awesome career as a professional WRC driver.
Never was that more clear than on the launch program for the new 2015 WRX, where Subaru pointed us down a long, somewhat treacherous stretch of road in the tree-lined mountains of northern California. Quick elevation changes were met with blind turns and washed-out shoulders, not to mention rogue bits of snow, ice and gravel that lined the apexes of nearly every turn. Here, I couldn't stop grinning, my co-driver and I switching between second and third gears, with precise steering inputs and judicious braking keeping us safely on the road and not plummeting nose-first into the trees. And the WRX simply devoured each inch of pavement with a ferocious poise that made me remember why I have loved this car so darn much.
But this sort of 100 Acre Wood perfection isn't the only way to experience Subaru's darling WRX. After a long stint of driving back down the California coast on Highway 1, I realized that Subaru's line about this being the best-driving WRX yet wasn't just a bunch of PR mumbo-jumbo. Of course, it isn't without a few compromises...

Revisit the charms of the 1978 Subaru Brat

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

The Subaru Brat is the automotive equivalent of a teenager with a mullet: weird, a little reckless but brimming with enough self-confidence to make it cool.
The Brat came from Subaru's desire to compete in the burgeoning light pickup market of the late-1970s. To get around the so-called Chicken Tax that added a 25 percent tariff on imported pickup trucks, Subaru threw two seats in the bed, which technically allowed it to be classified it as a passenger car. The result was a great, weird combination of a complete lack of safety, with a low price and lots of driving fun.
In the video below, Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman takes a 1978 Brat through the desert and shows just how much fun a little pickup can be.
