Thanks to everyone for the kind replies. I never knew the brotherhood was so big -- glad to be here. Funny story: my first PCA meeting (as a member), I parked next to a beautiful black 2004 C4S Cab. The cars look almost identical except for the Cab vs. Coupe. She's new to the region, but has been a PCA member elsewhere for a while.
Strangely that's what my wife said when I brought the car home. "It's your color." I tried to explain that I bought the Miata and C4S used, so didn't exactly pick the color. She just smiled. The STi only came in 3 colors when I got it, and anything other than WRC blue didn't seem right.
Maybe my next car (dreaming of a GT3 or TT already) will be something else. I never thought of myself as a yellow car guy, but the speed yellow GT3's do look nice.
Thanks. I'm autocrossing, so I need to watch what class I get bumped to with any change. On the other hand, running street tires means instant lose in overall PAX fight anyway. I have been eyeing some of the JIC Cross's that have been showing up on the For Sale forum. I don't think the JRZ or Motons will be coming down to a price I want to pay.
As balefire said, I probably ought to prepare it decently for AS (including race tires) so I can fight for the top PAX spots (locally of course). Hmm, Koni Yellows....
