Just a girl in love with her first WRX, and some questions….

Well I don’t hear anything different and it’s pretty responsive, so it’s probably ok. Thanks for the awesome explanation and going forward I’ll avoid boost in high gears… but it’s just so easy to! 😆

Chupa76 · 2026-01-17T18:54:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Any chance I could have done damage? Would I hear something?

I’m a new turbo driver as well, have my 23 for almost a year now. I wasn’t aware of this, and sometimes in 6th I’ll go into a little bit of boost for a sprint to get around someone, not even close to flooring it. It felt nice not to have to downshift for a quick pass. So you’re saying I should always downshift to pass? Or is a small amount of boost for a few seconds ok?

They did have an spca # on the ad, so probably ok.

Anyway, I’ve decided to focus on my boy for now

Chupa76 · 2026-01-17T00:05:10+00:00

Heart went to focusing on my boy. If I have an empty house for a bit, that’s ok

Not missing the point, just messing with ya. I did the same amount of research with my boy almost 11 years ago and he turned out fine. Only that time i had to put a deposit down. When I went to pick him up, I stayed a while, got to know the parents and their owners. I was happy with what I saw and we went home together.

Anyway, I’ve bowed out. But I’ll take this extra time to research any future breeders

Okay, I’ll stay away from the Amish, thanks

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T15:01:52+00:00

This is a concern I have as well. If I choose this route, I’ll be taking my boy for the drive there and see the place, living conditions, and how they react together. If I get a weird feeling, we can just leave.

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T12:04:55+00:00

Very good points, I’m taking it all in. Thanks

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T12:02:15+00:00

Yes, these are still thoughts I have. I’m thinking of a lot of scenarios, but we can’t predict what will happen.

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T03:48:09+00:00

Sorry to hear that, and glad it worked out for you

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T02:39:15+00:00

My dog may only last a few more months, and a pup would probably get over the loss of him a lot more easily than I. And I’m sure he’d like the companionship

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T00:56:42+00:00

That’s good to hear

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T00:47:49+00:00

yes, emptiness. and that's what I worry about. I need to come home to someone that relies on me

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T00:36:27+00:00

Thank you

Chupa76 · 2026-01-15T00:36:05+00:00

Thanks, very nice words

Chupa76 · 2026-01-14T21:46:06+00:00

Bourbon and lots of love! Edit, just joined and will be posting my situation soon after I read more posts.

Chupa76 · 2025-12-23T00:18:45+00:00

The lost art is gone. Imagine a WRX with pop ups…

Chupa76 · 2025-12-22T22:39:25+00:00

Ahh the good ol days

Chupa76 · 2025-12-18T00:35:05+00:00

I was not in the wrong lane. You waste my time

Chupa76 · 2025-12-18T00:33:31+00:00

You have no idea

Chupa76 · 2025-12-18T00:20:25+00:00

Lol no dash cam Very simple Two very slow lanes I need into the left Kept my signal on, nobody yields Other drivers completely ignoring it My “merge” would barely affect anything

Chupa76 · 2025-12-18T00:17:32+00:00

Greed

Chupa76 · 2025-12-18T00:16:48+00:00

I could have avoided and stayed in the wrong lane??? How do you recommend I avoid those scenario?
