Well here goes a somewhat long intro :)
Hey there! I'm Kristina, but please call me Tina. I'm from South Jersey about 15-25 mins away from philly depending on traffic. I'm 18 and a freshman at Rowan U.
Okay, well enough about me. Now about my car.
Well he has been threw a lot. I bought him in May of my Junior year in high school. This car had its fair share of issues but I've been in love with subarus since I can remember so i stuck it out and couldn't be happier. We worked our way threw the little things. I was rear-ended in traffic in December and then at the end of my senior year, I was hit by an uninsured loser; however, i was able to get a whole new front end :D . I get so many compliments when people see my car from the front but that goes downhill when they see my wheels (the kid who had the car before me was apparently best friends with curbs) or the dents from people who have no respect. As far as mods go, I bought the car as-is. It has an exhaust and it's tuned. As soon as I can afford it , I will be adding a downpipe so I can finally install my gauges. Well enough with the talking and now for the pictures :)

Welcome to the forum! Mods come through time for most of us. You'll find good deals out there and can pick up small stuff as you go. :)

thanks everyone. i ABSOLUTELY love my car post-accident. It was annoying being without my baby for over a month but totally worth it! My car had a billion rock chips, weird white paint stains tripped up the hood, a broken fog light and a dented rim but that all got taken care of! The accident was totally worth it in a way!

Thanks! I'll have to post a close up picture. They're awful. I went to get them powder coated and the guy told me he can't get all the dents or scratches out and I might be better off buying new wheels since those are about the same price as powdercoating. It's embarrassing but with a little time and a few more pay checks it'll be good as new :)

Hey, atleast you got a new front end out of the deal! My car has been backed into, etc. atleast 6 times in the last year. So I ended up buying a new bumper, fenders, grille & hood. It would have been nice if someone else's insurance were to have paid for it!


Very nice Bugeye, I'm jealous of your shiny paint.

What type of tune does the car have?

Yuck! Yeah, I actually know how you feel paying out of pocket for some parts! I received money for the fender bender back in december; however, got scammed buying an STI and used that money towards paying the "car I bought but don't have" off. Been a rough year! So probably during my winter break I'll send the car to the shop to get the rear bumper and fenders done and maybe my wheels as well since that takes about a week to two weeks.
I actually just found out it was already tuned with EkuTec about two weeks ago. The kid before me did it and now everything's locked. :mad:

thank you!!

yeah, i can't stand the dents but i'm going to finish out the school year before I do the paintless dent removal since the parking spaces at school would barely fit a smart car. haha.
