A friend of mine literally did the same thing like 2 days ago! He bought one sight unseen in Chicago and he is from Orlando Fl, and drove with his dad all the way. It was a 2005 STI Black. Beautifull car! Its crazy to start out your new car journey with a long road trip.. crazy, but creates the greatest memory! Thay ran with no issues and the car needs brakes, clutch, and has a leak in the turbo. Thank God it didn't break! Can't wait for the mods to start on yours!!!

I could go on. Videos like this showcases the value of what it truly means to be a car guy or gal.

I fell in love with that car and it has been my holy grail car that I hope I can still find in decent condition as I have now collected the adult money for it. Your love for Legacys brought all of that right back. Thanks.

I had to stop several times from overheating, including a stop in Harrisonburg to replace the radiator cap and top off the coolant (which was dry and brown...). Luckily it's been a champ the last year after a thorough system flush and replacing little bits and pieces.

Welcome to Oregon (my true home)! I just got back to where I live from a trip to see friends and family in Oregon and Washington, and my car (a 2007 Honda Accord EX-L V6 6spd coupe, 230K miles, one owner) got more love on the trip, and parts were waiting for her when we got back. Your channel is a big reason I'm "wasting" money again on the whole car thing, though it's not all your fault. The other impetus came from looking for a newer Accord V6 to replace the one I have. I quickly realized not only are the newer ones scarcely available, but even my current car is sought after these days for her six cylinders and six forward gears. She's mostly a road trip car, the wife and I drive her 2007 Honda Element (same color as the Accord, even) around town most of the time. Most of what is going on with my Accord is upgraded parts that also act as maintenance, but after having a swapped Civic many years ago the bug is back. I had planned to drive this summer to Virginia and back, but with the cost of fuel (even with 30+ highway MPG out of a Honda V6), I'm going to keep the trips shorter and spend the money on more parts.

This has been a life goal for me for a while. Buy a car really far away and road trip it home with a friend. I had a 2005 legacy gt wagon 8 or so years ago. Loved that car. So comfortable and practical. All the room of a suv without bobbing your head from side to side over every bump. The mileage and the premium fuel prices were killing me, and the obvious reliability issues. Turbo blown due to oil filter clogging. Melted piston from fuel starvation at full throttle. You know all the obvious ones.

The VA Chassis gets a lot of hate. But I love it. I bought just premium WRX and it's absouelty been my favorite car I have ever owned! 40k miles in 2 years and it's been flawless. I love it. Its not modded much, just cobb stage 2+ with an E tune, BC coils, and upgraded sway bays. It's my daily and kid mover. It's fun to drive, and still gets 30+ mpg on long trips.

Did a similar thing this summer, bought a low mileage 1994 mustang GT sight unseen and went all the way to Ohio to get it, then drove it back to Virginia lol. It's such a fun thing that everyone should experience at least once

I purchased my 2003 Mustang Cobra from a guy in GA, sight unseen as well, flew down, he picked me up from the airport and I road tripped it back to Michigan, it was the most fun I've ever had on a road trip, I'd highly encourage anyone to travel to go find their dream car and trip it back.

I just got a ‘16 STI last week it’s my very first Subaru and likely not my last. Thought I was seein double here- White with no sun roof, push button start and keyless entry, and heated alcantara seats with a 56k on the dash, never knew that was a rare combo. I only had to drive 10 minutes to get it here in the St Louis area x) traded my ‘14 ram big horn and have loved every minute of it wish I’d done it sooner it’s so much fun thank you for sharing this adventure I hope to have one like it some day!

As a fellow Subaru fan I am excited for your 7th Subaru. I myself miss having one. Yes they are not a Toyota or Honda with reliability. But they are a blast to drive and that's why we drive. To have a fun time.

Oh boy, remember march of 2020, drove 2 hours out to PA to buy my first 5 speed 96 Miata! First time driving manual and Didint stall once coming home! It was one of the most nostalgic/grateful moments I’ve had when just getting into cars, unfortunately the storm floods took her few weeks back :(

Welcome back to the Subaru family! I never left(started this journey in 1997), I've got, eh, seven of them right now, but two of them are spareparts. If you haven't test it on a track, I recommend, it's the best place to know your car. Done it severals time, even made it through Nürburgring in 2018, with my gen 1 Legacy Turbo. Good luck with your new Subaru!

Actually, the sti is a basic WRX but tuned and modified straight from the factory rather than by the owner, whereas a swapped WRX with sti parts is modified by the owner than by the factory.
