Thanks a lot guys, I'm f-ing excited

The dealer found a car for me today, so I should be able to take delivery on Thursday or Friday!!

Here's what is on the way to me:
2007 Subaru Impreza WRX TR
World Rally Blue
+Rear wing
+Fog lights
+Short-throw shifter
+Auto-dimming rearview mirror
+Armrest extension
+(maybe)All-weather floor mats. Can't really remember if it does.

Once the dealer gets it they'll be putting on stain guard to the interior and giving the body paint a protective clear coat (apparently that is standard and not charged).

Friday better get here quickly!

I would go for the Golf GTi! That's a great car.

I would add some of the accesories into the monthly payments if I were you like the intake and exhaust and the short throw shifter. (I've been looking heavily into the STi's for myself lately)

Forgot about it before, but the TR I have order actually does have the short-throw shifter The standard shifter isn't too bad actually, but I do look forward to the short throw.

I guess I'm not sure about the intake and exhaust at the moment. The stock power will be plenty to keep me entertained for a while, considering my Celica only had 130hp brand new (170,000 miles ago...). I'd rather save up some more money and buy stuff after I've done more research on what gives the best bang-for-buck performance.

Sway bars and end links are one of the first things I'll mod it with, probably. The stock body roll is a bit extreme for my liking.

Good thinking, one of the best (and cheapest) things I did to my WRX.

Full turbo-back exhaust/ECU retune should be next on the cards after that - stock power gets boring quickly, trust me.
