I see girls driving WRX's all the time... I even saw a girl driving an 06 STI a couple weeks ago... AND she smiled and waved when I drove by... I guess her husband bought the car for her.
Yeah, Im in Saratoga at least 3 to 4 times a week... my fiancee works on Broadway so I drive through pretty often - never on that side of 50, though, only down on the other side by that big ass hotel that seems impossible to get to.
Actually, I was down there today for like 4 hours.
