So I was driving around with my 4 yr old son in my beater protege and he told me that I need to get my car fixed. He said "Your car is super fast, its a mazdaspeed. I want to rid in it, this car is slow." he likes going fast in cars, I wonder where he got that from...
What have you done to your MSP today?

The wife and I are expecting. Originally we were going to adopt and we're looking for a sibling group of 2 or 3. the agency we went through were dragging their feet and showing us kids who didn't meet ANY criteria (which we didn't have many) that were looking for. We believe they weren't taking us seriously but what more could you ask for when you have a married couple, both gainfully employed, a more than big enough house on plenty of land with two new cars that haven't missed a payment on anything. Long story short, my companies insurance policy covers IVF. So, we went that route. However, in the beginning when we still thought we were going adoption, we traded the XR for the MZ5 since the XR could DEFINITELY not fit the fam comfortably, and she has the Cruze Eco which WOULD work but since my truck was the less efficient, we decided it had to go. Besides, once the IRS get's it's head out of it's ass and gets my tax return from 2010 back, that 5k goes straight into the Colt.
A round about way of saying... it wasn't conducive to driving a family around.

While the XR has "actual" seats, car seats don't quite fit the bill.
I miss the XR dearly but truthfully, I'm just ready for the Colt to get rockin' and rollin'.

Yeah... not sure the wife would approve of me going right back into another barely reliable car. Though truthfully, I wouldn't mind having it.
Congrats!
waiting on everything being finalized, but most likely sold 3/4 of my build parts.
will still have the wiseco pistons & K1 rods (both brand new, in box)
also still have yellowspeed coilovers, mishimoto rad w/ slim fans & shroud & reverse cowl CF gemini hood
can go two routes from there -
A - install coilovers, CF hood, & mishimoto parts... have sexy, stanced MSP for spring time... OR
B - trade MSP + cash for 07 WRX, sell all remaining parts.

B, as long as the wrx is not the TR model...and the cash on top is not extreme.
Here's what I sold my MSP to get into... no regrets whatsoever.

That could be it too... the ones who research about the car know that once you start to build the msp, you'll need a dd... (That's why I haven't done any major performance mods yet bc I'm waiting on my 2010 f150 ecoboost
