Civic to WRX

Well, after 30k worth of driving, I traded in my Civic for a WRX. Anyone know any good WRX sites?

I was looking at getting a WRX, but insurance was going to be to much. Maybe I'll get one in about 2 years. LOL.

Insurance costs forced me to buy a Civic SI coupe. That was the best car I could get without getting into the 'Red zone' of insurance. A WRX would cost me 9,000 a year even though I'm 22 and have no record of accidents or tickets. The insurance would be more every month than the car payment. Thats what I get for living in Toronto.

Nice choice of cars dude.

FYI - Insurance would only go up $15 a month for me if I switched to a WRX. $130 a month, not too bad.

Here's the pic I have for now, I'll get better ones when I get a chance.

The car is an 02 with 13k miles and it's a stick. It seems to be a little quicker than the civic. It could be the extra 100 horsepower, or perhaps just the hood scoop and spoiler. I'll drive it some more and see what I can figure out.

About 20 grand before tax title and license. Paid extra to get the extended warrenty because I'd like to keep the car for a while. The car would be around 26 new.
