SubaruGirlie: "Lexi 2.5"
This month SubaruGirlies.com visits Lexi of St. Louis, MO and her 1999 Subaru
Legacy 2.5GT. Aside from being a Subaru enthusiast and a member of the local
Subaru "crowd", Lexi is also now a member of the SubaruGirlies.com
forums!
- Lexi, what made you decide on purchasing your Legacy? Why not some other
car model?
"My Subaru was a gift. After I blew up my Volvo (whoops!) I needed a
new car. My mom helped me look, and picked me up in the car as a surprise!."
- Tell us a little about the modifications you've done to your car.
"She's all stock, except for my Rally Piggy. Hopefully I will
eventually add a stiffer suspension, skid plate, etc. for more off-roading"
- What are your future plans for your Legacy?
"Fix my front bumper! As well as get more rally/off-road parts on her
so she can get dirty, safely.
I've (as of lately) been toying with the dream of maybe becoming a
driver/co-driver, so maybe if I set my mind to it, I can compete in local rallycross events...."
- Tell us a little bit more about yourself? Hobbies? Non Subaru
Interests?
"I am into photography, but that's sort of a profession for me, as well
as Reading, Traveling, Subies, Rally, and other Auto events. I
sometimes attend CCCA (Classic Car Club of America) with my
grandfather, who is the root of my car enthusiasm."
- Do you have a humorous or unique Subaru related story you'd like to
share?
"Most of my adventures involve meets with my local forum, and always
being the only girl with a Subie there. I think the most memorable one
was the picnic we had in the snow back in Dec. '07. We met at a park,
with plenty of snow on the ground still. We happened to pass by a
completely untouched GRAVEL parking lot. It called to us. That day I
learned how to properly do AWD donuts! A couple of those guys have taught
me a lot, and I've become close with a select few."
"Nothing but
good has come from owning my Subie, and I hope more good is to come. - Lexi"
