Sure, if you're going to pony up the $$ for the short block assembly, tranny, axles, diffs, turbo and intercooler that I'll need. 
(I've driven ticking time bombs before, and they're not all they're cracked up to be - hence the Camaro that I haven't driven in a little while....)
All-season, reliable, 0-60 in ~4.2 seconds, 1/4-mile in the 12's ... works for me. Think I'll work on the turning and stopping now. If I need to go faster on a daily basis, I'll pull out a literbike.

Troll list:
-STI (ZenBoy)
-EVO ( Hector-NOT "run of the mill")
-Volvo S60R (Trapps)
-Crossfire (me)
Personally, I'd be voting for the Hectors EVO, but then again, I'm biased there as its my favorite SCC of all time. My car will be there, but its pretty much all stock, so nothing special there other than how it sounds with the Magnaflow on it

Not that mine's any too special... making it the car I want to own and enjoy 24/7/365, not looking to impress.

Funny ... we're not even in the same calendar year as Spring Zing '06 yet, and people are already casting votes for "Best Troll".  Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing ALL of the trolls there, regardless of my purchasing preference. Since Spring Zing at its inception was originally a "bring anything" event, it's only fitting. One of us could easily wad a car before then, guys, so let's all just be glad to see each other this spring. Hopefully someone will brew some pineapple vodka, too. Also, if the Crossfire and S60R owners wouldn't mind giving a lowly, 'run-of-the-mill' STi owner a ride, I'd really enjoy it. I haven't driven a Crossfire since just before they were released, so it's been a while; the S60R has always intrigued me, too.

3 years ... eeesh. I think two to three weeks is about the ideal time span for pineapple soaking.
