{OT} Impressions of the WRX

[roccolister@hotmail.com (Craig Williams)]

Woo hoo,

I still gotta get a ride in one of those. The WRX will beat my Viggen in the
1/4 mile, due to the AWD vs. FWD issues, by about a 1/2 a second if I
remember correctly. As Eric was witness, even with 3 adult males in my car,
I was able to pull up (I was behind him) on a WRX on the freeway. But, the
WRX is a good deal cheaper then my car was. Truth is, I haven't heard anyone
with a complaint about the WRX. I gotta get behind the wheel of one.
