Subaru WRC2008 takes second in debut at Acropolis rally
Sebastian Loeb and Citroen had a comfortable win at the Acropolis Rally in Greece this past weekend, but much of the attention was paid to the race debut of the Subaru WRC2008. With Petter Solberg behind the wheel, the new Subie took ten top-five stage times the first two days and captured second place overall. The result was Solberg's first points since February and his first podium finish since last year's Acropolis Rally. The problem-free weekend and the fast pace were encouraging for the Subaru team, who see the new race car as a turning point. "This is it, we're coming back!" Solberg declared after the race. The next rally in Turkey will determine whether the initial success of the car was a fluke or for real. For now, check out the gallery below of the WRC2008 sliding its way to a second place finish.

If you car was in better shape and didn't have as many miles, you would qualify for the Subaru trade up program.

debt is a bad thing. Over extending your budget and living beyond your means is also bad.

no modification done to a car can really be called an investment. it's not like you're profitting from your mods.

technically, when one says invest it's usually referred to money spent on something with the purpose of making a profit off this item in the long run.
but if you want to get technical, i guess one can "invest" time into a car and the return is happiness lol. but that's not a monetary return.

i wasnt refering to money. i was refering to time and hard work.
and yes, the return is happiness.

It has to be that one, the guy that goes to the meets.
It was protuned by machines gone wild.
turboback, no cat, equal length headers etc. Had a big dent in the trunk from when a tow truck dragged it i think.
