WRX
In early July 2017 I fulfilled a life-long dream and placed an order for a 2018 WRX; a Premium in Lapis Blue Pearl.

The WRX neatly filled the void left when I sold my Fiesta ST, and proved itself to be a much more practical daily driver without sacrificing too many of the things that made the ST great.
In March 2022, I decided to trade in the WRX for a 2022 Legacy Touring XT. As I hit 30, I realized my priorities and interests were so different, I needed a car that better suited my, and my families needs.
I'll always consider the WRX my "attainable dream car", and absolutely appreciated every day I was able to drive it!
