The Beginning! The Big Purchase!

Welcome to a new blog that I'm just starting that is going to be primarily about my 2015 Subaru WRX. I also own, with my wife, a 2013 Subaru Outback, so don't be surprised if you see some blogs about that car too. I'm going to look at the many modifications I have made in the past, as well as future mods,  and give them an honest review. It is also critical to know that I'm not an English Major, so give me a break if I screw up some wording, words, or punctuation! I'm doing this for fun after all.

Let me jump right into the important details that started this journey. I purchased the WRX last April. That whole week was restless and hard to remember. I wanted two different colors, well three if I am honest... but I found out the hard way with my 2002 red bug-eye in the past with many tickets. It was down to White and the famed world rally blue WORLD RALLY BLUE. I went down to the dealer with my wife to check both colors out. She took one look at the blue and said "nope... I like the white!" I started to open my mouth and argue with her about the color.... then I thought to myself, well she is going to let me by a WRX after all. So F**k, OK...White is Perfect! The white WRX they had on the lot was sold, so the dealer made some arrangements with another dealer in Modesto and traded a Forester XT for the WRX and had it shipped to Livermore, CA where at the time I lived. I have since moved for college and live in Irvine, CA.

Before I go any further. I cannot lie; I wanted the STI, but I couldn't justify buying old but proven engine design that has a few long term reliability issues. Sure it comes with many great features that I will gladly argue with you that will justify the extra 10k. But I wanted to try something new, and I thought this new platform was the right decision for me. New engine, new possibilities.

Below is a photo of the day we picked up the car. It was shipped on a covered flatbed truck and was detailed to the nines. The best part was that it only had 3 miles on it. It came off the delivery truck, went through a dealer inspection,  and was driven down the road to get a full tank of gas. To be honest, I don't think, even with my increasing detailing skills, that the car has looked as good since that day we picked her up.

The day we picked up the WRX!

My wife starting calling the car Rex. Which I think is Brillant. Every sports care needs a chick name right?! The funny thing is we call the Outback the "Subi!" Oh well...

Before I end this introduction to the Blog, I wanted to explain why I called the blog Boost Therapy. Well... it is simply that. When you get in this car, you have two options. Take it easy and get pretty good gas mileage, which it does surprisingly well at. Or better yet, you drive the car like it was meant to. She gets all 268 hp to the ground surprisingly quick, and before you know it you're requesting take-off clearance from the local tower. And then you do it over and over again, and soon you feel much better. It works every time. That pretty much sums up how I got the idea for the name.

On my first drive!

I look forward to sharing much more about my 2015 Subaru WRX with you very soon. To keep up to date on all the action, please follow me on Instagram at @19andrew and on Facebook for notifications.

Until next time, later and enjoy the drive.
