See you again

All good things must come to an end, nothing lasts forever. So with that being said, it's time to bid farewell to my beloved WRX. Jokes it's just gonna go under covers for the next year or two because of the recent P Plate changes in relation to the new turbo laws and everything. Long story short, as long as I'm still on my provisional license, I'm not able to drive my car. Sure there are ways to get around the laws by filling out an exemption form and whatever but with my certain circumstances, chances of the exemption being approved is little to none. Sure, I was hella bummed when I found out about the changes and I was kinda lowkey annoyed at everyone since I got nonstop messages from people asking if I heard about the ban or not. But hey, it's fine. I'm just taking a break for a while I guess. 

I have thought about selling the car and at one point, I was pretty certain I was going to sell the car. Then again, if you talk to me on a regular basis and you know me personally, then you'd know that I'm a hoarder and I get attached to everything really easily - same thing goes for this car. I am so insanely attached to this car it's pretty stupid. It's been a little over a year since I started driving this car and boy has it been through a lot. It's understandable if people think it's whack that I can get so attached to a car, I mean, it's just a car? They aren't wrong haha. But the thing is, this car has literally taken me everywhere, legit everywhere. Especially as of recently, I've been spending a lot of time driving around the streets past midnight because I find driving a sense of escape from the real world for a while. It's relaxing and therapeutic and is gives me good "me time". Again, it might sound whack to some people but it's how I feel. 

The car has actually been in the family for quite some time, adding to the reason why I don't want to sell it. It was originally my uncle's car for a couple of years, who then gave it to my dad, who owned it for a good two or three years, who then gave it to me and I've owned it for a good year and a bit now. So you can imagine that it'd be pretty hard to let it go since it's literally been in the family for a really long time. 

So as of right now, I'm not planning on selling my wrx even though I won't be able to legally drive it. But hey, that doesn't mean I can't illegally drive it ay ;) But yeah, my current plans as of right now is to buy another car that I can thrash around in the meantime until I get my fulls. I'll be putting the wrx in hibernation and taking it out once in a while, just for shits and giggles. 

Never crossed my mind that I'd be making a post of my car because of the reason that I won't be able to drive it anymore but yea while I'm at it here's some pictures of my car throughout the year. 

What the car was like when it was passed over to me. Don't ask about the wheels lmao.

A little over half a year into owning the car. To keep it short, the dude who ordered my wheels messed up and I got this weird looking set of wheels, but I figured that I'd keep it and paint it myself to save him the trouble.

Don't ask about the badges either, idk why they weren't the first thing I removed when I first got the car HAHA.

How the car currently sits. Really subtle changes compared to how it was when I first got it, but I like it. I still have many plans for it but it just seems that those plans are put on hold for a year or two.
