She's an autox-wh0re and an occasional track beater. I prefer not to take her out to the track too often because her hardly-girlish-figure (at 3200 lbs the STi is hardly a lightweight) tends to run my tire and brake expenses through the roof! She's been mildly modded to look good and the street, handle well, and be regionally competitive in STU class with SCCA. On top of being a capable race car, she also gets me in and out of the city when I need to get away from it all. Having such a great all-around car has been truly a rewarding experience. It is wonderful being able to drive my STi to and from (and at) a race as well as navigate me in and out of Manhattan (one of the worst cities to drive in by far) quickly and relatively comfortably.  Here's a list of what she has got going for her (just about every one of these modifications was performed by myself in my spare time):
