[QUOTE="Ry_Trapp0, post: 14603352, member: 27761"] but you're already paying an extra $10k just so you have the potential to put more money into it. i've always been a big STI fan, it's been a truly unique car in a time where that rarely exists, but it really is just an awful value today. wow, you're really going full ****in ricer here.
