welcome. 2wd>awd. well maybe not but makes for a more fun drive when you have less control. if you want to go the evo or wrx route, you will find plenty of them up there. I will continue to work on my 2wd driving skills

it snowed alot this year in the northwest... would've been nice to have an AWD... but since it stopped snowing.. 2WD>>>>


Theres alot of STi's and EVO's in Washington, but then again theres alot of hondas and integras..


You really only need 4WD for like a month of the season anyways.. otherwise its pointless... unless you love murdering your pockets for gas

Oregon has TONS of Subaru's and evo's. Albany doesn't get all that much snow. Usually alot more rain if anything.

yeah they are 100% legal in washington..


you just gotta make sure you have NON-STOLEN vins and have receipt etc for proof if questioned...


the only thing you really have to worry about is if your exhaust is super loud... three of my cousins got pulled over for that and had to throw on their silencers...

Oregon doesnt give 2 ***** about anything, just make sure its not too loud,your windows arent all blacked out, and front plates are required. thats about it. and it smells like *** about 2 miles north of Albany (millersburg)
