“With all of the other answers I’ve given you, this<br />
is going to be different but the most defining moment<br />
in my life was when I bought my third car. It<br />
was my own money, my own work put into it and<br />
it’s a really nice car. This car made me really interested<br />
in cars now. I still have it to this day. I work<br />
on it every day. I’ve been building it the last three<br />
years. It’s in a completely different state to when I<br />
got it. To me that is really cool having something,<br />
then turning it into something so great. At least to<br />
me it’s great. It’s a 2005 Subaru WRX. I swapped<br />
the motor out of it. It’s a lot louder, faster, than it<br />
was before. I’m also doing a lot of support modifications.<br />
When you upgrade the big things in the<br />
motor you need to upgrade all the little things<br />
that go along with it so they do not break. I also<br />
installed bigger brakes to make it stop faster. A lot<br />
of exterior work was done as well. It looks completely<br />
different. When I first got it, it looked like a<br />
typical car. Now it looks very unique. I added a<br />
lot of my personal touches. It’s just nice to know<br />
that I created something that means so much to<br />
me and I put my hard work into it. It’s a learning<br />
experience in itself and I will continue working on<br />
cars as a hobby. It’s definitely not cheap but it’s<br />
motivating that I pay for it all myself.”<br />
