This month SubaruGirlies.com visits Jo who resides in the ever fantastic Pacific Northwest! Joe has a sweet White 2008 WRX Sedan. She is fairly new to the SubaruGirlies discussion forums but is sooo enthusiastic about her car and about being a part of our little group! Let's have a little Q&A session and get to know her a little bit better! 

  -Tell us about your Subaru  ownership? What made you purchase a your new car??
  "My husband and I purchased our first Subie in 2002 it was a TS wagon.  We then wanted more power so we went to a 2004 WRX wagon.  We had an Espilir GT turbo back exhaust put on, also a TXS intake, and a Cobb Accessport stage 2.  I loved my car (still.... never really got over getting rid of it) but I was pregnant with our first and the car seat did not really fit. So we traded it in on an X-Terra.  Then in 2007 we decided we need another car and settled with a Civic S.I.  I was then pregnant with baby number 2 (yay!!!)and the Civic was small and had been in the shop for many T.S.B.'s (technical service bulletins) so we went to the subie dealer."

-Modifications? What is your favorite Modification? Least favorite? Future plans?
Modifications include tinted windows and snow tires/wheels (as shown in photos).
My future plans include coil overs, sway bars, TBE (turbo back exhaust), Hubby Andy wants to learn open source tuning.  

-Best thing about your Subaru? Least favorite thing?
"Best thing about my car is that it is comfy, fast, can go ANYwhere and holds all I need for the girls. What I would change???  - - came on the 2009 WRX Sedan!!

-Hobbies other than car/car stuff?
Our hobbies include hiking, skiing, mountain biking, camping, 4 wheeling the Xterra we own, and finally playing with Cloey who is now 3 and Molly who is 5 months old! [editors note: Kids rule!]

 -Best thing about being a Subaru-Girlie??
