    As a new Dad myself I found a new even greater passion for cars with my son!
    He is actually the reason the 2021 STI was bought new off the lot with 7 transport miles on the clock! so glad we did as it was MINE from the start no worries here!
    In-fact since then we have started building more and more with the goals of video and posting our journey building cars and doing things together!
    one of my favorite things is morning/daily car photos with the kiddo! "same place same time and really see them grow!" this has also rolled into V-logs as he has gotten a larger more independent vocabulary!
    Since then we bought his mom her first "project" car and it is a 2 door subie and he wants his own! ( *a challenger body in white actually because he wants new but to build it! pretty damn smart for 4 years old!* ) soooo now it is getting 8-9k nowish for his "dream car @ 16" meanwhile my project car still lurks under the knife! (LS-powered Porsche I build in high-school now being redone with adult money that video series launches soon with my channel!)

    For the price at the time, these were one of the best $40k sports sedans. Too bad they're charging STi prices for (current) WRXs and the Impreza is going up a tier to last gen WRX prices. Hope you never sell this car.

    I drove trucks, suvs, jeeps, my whole life, trying to get stuck in backroads snow on the appalacian mountains of PA. Then I got the 22 wrx, and put winter tires on, kelly winter access, and I was blown away above and beyond, the car is ridiculously out of this world in the snow. Its like a snow mobile. Nothing comes close.
