Trying to Make It All Work – Ethan Pfab’s 2006 WRX Limited Wagon
The Subaru WRX (technically the STi) has been on my list of dream cars since I was in grade school. My love for the car came mainly from video games I played growing up over a decade ago. It started with the ‘04-‘05 blobeyes; they…
SubieFest Midwest 2018 – More Than Another Car Show
Our first MFortyFive trip! Early Thursday morning myself, CJ, and Ethan flew out of Tampa International Airport, heading to Indianapolis with our sights set on several exciting features, and of course the first SubieFest Midwest event in Joliet, Illinois. The two hour flight consisted of…
Dedication to the Brand – Wigberto Figueroa’s 2007 STi
It’s no secret that the hawkeye is my favorite stage of the Impreza. When first unveiled to the public, it wasn’t an instant hit with everyone due to the new tri-grille front end being so wildly different from the past models. Even I wasn’t too…
Sleeping Beauty – Staci Towne’s 2014 Legacy 3.6R

Obtaining A Dream Car – Bruno Rivera’s 2016 WRX Limited
When the 2015 Subaru WRX was unveiled at the L.A. Auto Show back in 2013, it was met with a lot of criticism and mixed feelings from longtime fans of the brand. The car now looked totally different from any other past WRX model. Some…
Where Function & Form Come Together – Jacob Jewell’s 2016 BRZ
When I write a Limelight feature, I always have trouble starting it out. Whenever it’s a car I find from Instagram, (which is a majority of the time) I try to catch myself from saying “when I saw this car on Instagram…” or “I remember…
Driver of the Day: TJ’s 2003 WRX Wagon
We were long overdue for a DOTD feature. Really long. But here’s the first Driver of the Day in the past several months – my Instagram friend TJ and his bugeye wagon! This is TJ’s first car, and he’s had and cherished it for the…
Keeping the Momentum – Zach Osborne’s 2005 GDB Impreza RS
I remember periodically visiting the dealership my grandfather worked at when I was younger. I loved sitting in the STi’s with gold wheels and pretend I was Travis Pastrana behind the wheel on the showroom floor. That’s kind of where my love for these cars…
