Hi roadster types, a friend linked me here since i've been looking to buy my first NB. I've been on the lookout for a Twilight Blue with Tan, '99 or '00 with a 5 speed.
In the meantime I've got a JDM sweet (tm) Subaru Legacy that I originally bought just for the G/F to learn to drive. So far the only bits that are actually from j-town are the Bilsteins from a GT-B. Otherwise it's got WRX brakes, GT wheels and 80hp of slushbox fury!

Other stuff about me. I'm 24, just moved to nashville, TN from Pittsburgh. I work for dell now, which is a heck of a lot better than living with my parents and delivering auto parts. I've been autocrossing since 2000, I helped publish a performance book for Dodge Neons, and I love anime!
Awesome! 80hp isn't a lot but you've got to start somewhere. I've always loved the BH. One day I will own a GT-B tricked out with all sorts of STi parts.
if it ever comes up in conversation, point at the car and say to your gf, "it followed me all the way home! can we keep it? i promise to feed and take care of it!"
Re: Noob that doesn't quite have a roadster yet from Middle TN ***or does he?
Ok, so clearly i need to post an update after 2 years!
Since posting this, i've proposed to Charlotte (reenacted in manga):
I bought a basket case B13 Sentra 1.6, rehabbed it for way to much money, and sucked my way through a season and a half of ill-handling miserty. Did some cool stuff with it though. Tail of the dragon, Trackday at nashville superspeedway, couple autocrosses, etc. I recently sold it to fund the roadster purchase.
Poor Subaru got hit by a guy without insurance, our insurance covered it and he's been ok:
Adopted Majo the kitten:
We bought a house!
And we got married!
Charlotte bought an '05 Civic:

Welp, finally decided it was time to be able to be able to comment on and support the community that's helped so much over the past few years whenever I've scoured the web for odd roadster info, from things like M2, Kinod, and other threads to casually browse.
I'm from the San Francisco Bay...
What’s up everyone,
Been on here off and on over the years and appreciate all the good info on here.
So before posting on m.net and having them dig through the post, finding reasons to say condescending **** like they have transcended over my understanding of life I figured I’d post here...
Hey everyone. I made a couple smaller posts but never did a real intro. I have a current pic of my car (green NB1 with black storm s1’s on bottom) and a sad pic of what happened to my first NB1 along with a few photos of it before the sadness. The guy was drunk and crossed four lanes of traffic...
