Thanks for the write-up Just Me.

What is is with Subarus and brushes with death? I too had my life flash in front of my eyes one time in my friend's Impreza wagon. He was drunk, tailgating / racing a Lexus SC on the 5 freeway at over 100mph. The SC did a brake-check and I uttered "Oh shiii..." exactly the way you do miliseconds before your body is trashed into a slurry of metal and tissue. Instead we escaped collision by millimeters and weren't forced to live out our lives as invalids or cadavers. Don't think I ever drove with him again, but hey - all's well that ends well, right? Maybe I should've thanked him for endowing me with a renewed appreciation for ordinary life.

Anyways, glad you had a chance to experience the STI. I've only driven the WRX, which is a screaming hoot to begin with. I'm sure the STI is another full notch up the thrill ladder.
