Saw a sweet looking silver WRS on McCarran today...

what's up Khail

sperry · 2002-12-18, 05:09 PM

I saw Khail and the WRS on S. Virginia all the way down by South Meadows a few days ago. Unless there's someone else with a sweet silver GDA body Subaru with big orange fogs in the grill.

Wassup guys,

I saw Matt yesterday, and I saw Scott a few days ago, down by Winco. My yellow fogs are gone though, maybe you were seeing the residual image in your mind. They have been replaced by Sylvania Xenarc HID auxiliary lights. They make my Silverstars look as yellow as regular bulbs, they are sweet. Check em out here Bulbs See you guys.

Khail

You see what you expect to see I guess... I saw a silver Impreza with the blacked out side indicators, and the rims, and my mind musta pasted in the yello fogs to match.. hehe!

ArthurS · 2002-12-19, 03:16 PM

Saw 3 WRB WRX's today all within 5 minutes. Was driving down keystone, saw a WRB WRX Wagon, then driving opposite to us, a WRB Sedan, then another WRB WRX Sedan in the wells fargo parking lot that got pulled over by a cop.

I thought this was a fairly rare car to be seeing around town, but to see 3 in a row, all WRB, in one area kinda shocked me.

sperry · 2002-12-19, 03:20 PM

Leaving my parking lot for work yesterday morning, I was at the stop sign behind another WRB Sedan, and a black wagon pulled up behind me

!

WRX != rare anymore. Makes me wanna buy a '01 RS, and swap all my WRX parts into it... then sell the WRX w/ a '01 drivetrain to some dolt. Mo MONEY, Mo MONEY, Mo MONEY!

ArthurS · 2002-12-19, 03:28 PM

Wonder if that was me in the wagon.......probably not. Saw 2 other wrx's and a 2.5rs in the theater parking lot last night also. It makes me want to get some body kit or something so I look different.

sperry · 2002-12-19, 03:33 PM

Prolly wasn't you unless you live in the Vintage at South Meadows too.

Man, somtimes I wish I had gone with a black WRX... and if the wagons had the flared fenders, I would have definately gone wagon... but alas, I'm just another generic WRB Sedan...

, not that I'm complaining! Besides, one of these days I'll get the STi grill, the side skirts, the scoop and have the '02 STi look on hit!

ArthurS · 2002-12-19, 03:47 PM

I like the black so far, when its clean.....but its not and it looks very brown now. Plus the dealership left a bunch of swirl marks in the paint from the buffering. Gatta go bitch to Lithia about that.

Just get a sticker on your back window that says "4EAT"

That'll make you stand out

ArthurS · 2002-12-23, 01:54 PM

That might work.....but then people may laugh at me....then I will just pass them

ArthurS · 2003-01-29, 12:33 AM

Hey,

Was that you tonight Matt that I passed near downtown? I swore it was your painted rims. I was almost out of gas, so I hope I didn't brake to hard in front of you to turn into the gas station. Just noticed at the last minute.

MattR · 2003-01-29, 06:17 PM

HAHA! yeah, that was me, i waved once I knew it was you, but it was damn dark. haha. I figured you were focused on the gas station...see ya later..

ArthurS · 2003-01-29, 09:24 PM

Yea, I was pretty empty. I didn't even notice that bright warning light. But I did notice your car at the last second. I couldn't tell if it was you with the tint, but assumed it was because of your wheels, and I haven't seen many white wagons in town.

ArthurS · 2003-03-10, 01:46 PM

Hey Sperry,

I saw you today around 12:30 exiting onto South Meadows exit. I was driving a green Audi A6....(Since my car is at Carson Subaru). I honked, but I am sure you had no idea who did it.

I saw that car!! You were booking! But I didn't hear the horn... my stereo was totally cranked up.

Oh, sorry about the rain ya'll... I washed my car over the weekend...

ArthurS · 2003-03-10, 02:04 PM

I was only doin' about 80 mph. I had to go back to subaru in carson to do a drive with the mechanic, to explain the noise to him and I was a little late.

But those Audi's sure can move if you want them to. MMmmm.....twin-turbo.......*drool*

MattR · 2003-03-10, 11:40 PM

I saw a really hooked up looking Silver WRX sedan today, OEM kit. It looked good, but I didn't recognize the driver. I hope the SNIC (sierra nevada impreza club)

can grow to 10+ cars or so, I just gotta find a way to get these people to stop...haha

ArthurS · 2003-03-11, 08:15 AM

Might have been Khail's...

I saw a WRB WRX at Mimi's Cafe last night. Had AEM stickers and exhaust. Never seen it around town though.

sperry · 2003-03-11, 09:03 AM

I too saw a silver WRX (or it was Khail) way down on the southside. I did a run halfway up Gieger to the scenic overlook thing. After coming back down this WRX made a turn in front of me and headed into a neighborhood. I went to chase him down (silver Impreza, black or gunmetal rims, polished lip), but he got a few streets ahead of me and I lost him.

Anyone here live out off Rim Rock Dr.?

sperry · 2003-03-11, 09:05 AM

Oh, and I saw a WRB WRX Sedan in the parking lot next to KFC on S. Virginia. But it was stock

I've seen a black WRX Sedan w/ rims and exhaust in that lot on a few other occations, tho.

ArthurS · 2003-03-11, 09:13 AM

Speaking of black ones, this one always sticks out in my mind. There is a black wrx sedan always parked by the food court at the mall. Its debadged and has NO exhaust what-so-ever. Looks like he has a STi hood-scoop also.

NO exhaust?

how's that work I wonder...

ArthurS · 2003-03-11, 09:23 AM

I am not sure....maybe it doesn't and thats why his car si still sitting there. It is in the same spot everytime I see it. Maybe someone ripped his exhaust off? :shock: Looks like it hasn't be washed either for months. But I did look under the car out of curiosity, and no exhaust.

That must have been me. I didn't see you though. I live up here off of Rim Rock a ways. I just wanted to live near my testing road (Geiger)
