i dunno, there are 2 ways to look at it.
1) you made a 32K investment and its your precious, nothing bad must happen to it, keep it garaged, with a car cover and don't drive it in any adverse conditions (snow ,dirt, RAIN) . the org owner of my car was that way . no rain driving...
2) you just spent 32K you better get every last pennies worth of enjoyment, drive it fast and hard, drive it on snow, dirt, wet tarmac, Enjoy the worlds best AWD system in actual low traction envoirnments.

some peeps are #1, some are #2. some are a blend. sounds like you are a #1 nothing wrong with that. to each his own. if all i was worried about was the $$$ i would have bought like 10K of gold 3 months ago (which would be 12,500 today) and kept my wrx. but i'de rather spend that cash on enjoyment, which means driving on snow / dirt / wet tarmac, and as fast as is safe to me and to others. ( you may not be able to guess this about me, but i just bare ever ever ever go over 25 in a residential. kids and peeps walking about) get into a much safer setting and i'll go faster.

or maybe you are basically saying i can't control my car , at least you speak your mind. freedom of speach baby ! but yer dead wrong lol but stay true to yourself and your opions sometimes i like being told i can't
lol what a long rant of mine.. i'm waiting on buddies to go snowboarding with. they don't have an sti and need like 40 minutes to cover 4 miles in the snow ARG
I'm not saying I wouldn't get my money's worth, just that I'd be much more concerned about heading out to relatively uncontrolled areas looking for trouble. The cost of replacing body paneling and pricey BBS rims can add up fast.

*waves* Yep. Although I could afford one now that my wife is working. Back in June, an RS was my only option. Oh well.

Ahaha. I don't have a snappy comeback to that one, so I'll concede. Cheap-ass '05 Impreza FTL
