2011 Subaru STI here. It's not my first rodeo though... previously I had a 2007 STI Limited (1/800) and a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (AWD, turbo). I refuse to buy a boring economical car... it's really my one indulgence. I don't drive often, but when I do I want to enjoy it.

If anyone is having sticker shock about that STI, I assure you that even my humble base model 2008 WRX is a hell of a lot of fun. I'm trying to figure out whether I can bring it to a track without insurance getting word and cancelling me (apparently this happens despite track day policies you may buy on the spot).

I have a 2003 WRX which I enjoy greatly. I haven't done any track days or anything with it because I'm too chicken and boring, but it's still great fun. :) Bought it brand new and it is 100% paid for, which is even better. :)

Don't worry about insurance. Take it to the track and have fun. If anything bad happens, tow the car outside of the track and then claim the damage happened there. That the general course of action.

This kind of insurance fraud is partly why they started preëmptively banning track day enthusiasts. No thanks.
