I purchased my Bugeye off of the lot at Irvine Subaru in June of 2004. I really didn't know much about the car other than it was turbo and AWD, seemed like a match made in heaven for me. I had never owned a car that was worthy enough to mod, so I didn't really know how/where to start. That is when I found nasioc.com in late '05. I lurked around for a while before joining in '06. I spent many late nights researching modifications and even more time scouring the classifieds for cheap used parts...
Through the entire ownership of the car (up until May of this year), I have been a broke college student. This made the search for used parts even more important. Slowly but surely, the car starting coming together and it was all due to the many deals I found on this site, the information that came from the many knowledgeable people I have met in person and online, and a love for my Subaru and the Subaru community.
I am pleased to say that I love owning a Subaru and hope to be a part of the Subaru community for years to come.
