Welcome to SN and a life of needing lots of petrol money 
I couldn't even drive when i was twenty so well done, shame about the insurance cost. Worth it tho.

Ensure you run your WRX (JDM) on optimax, and id also advise the use of octane booster, though some people dont use it, these cars are designed for 100 ron fuel, sometimes 98 ron isnt quite enough.

"Lush just sitting there" (because at £2769 a year i can't afford optimax but it looks nice!!)
Welcome to the coolest society in the land & if you see a scoob don't forget to wave!!!!

Welcome to the site, I was 19 when I 1st had my scoob, then tried a Audi TT at 21 and regreted selling the scooby and all I could think about was scoobys, 2months with the TT turned me into a ponsy hairdresser, So decided the only man thing I could do was to sell the TT and buy another Scooby.

I pay nearly £4k on the WR1 ... well worth it though. Paid £3.7k on my first UK Turbo (when I was 20) Bought the WR1 the year after and was pleased the ins only went up by £300.

I will forever regret not buying a house at a younger age. If i'd have bought a house at 20, by 23, I could have sold my house and bought almost any car I wanted without a penny of debt.
It makes me mad!!! But it was fun doing it the expensive way!!!!

just make sure you put the right fuel in as said because i just had to have mine rebuilt at just over the cost of your insurance!!
btw when i was 20 think i had a datsun cherry!! (those were the days!!)
