Um... college.
At least a large chunk of it was from college (mostly necessities, some nice-to-haves). The rest was from living a tiny bit above my means. But that's kind of why I've been trying to get it down a lot for the last few years.
I'd like to be able to buy a house in the next few years - and there's no way I could do it with that much debt already. A car is one thing... but unsecured credit cards are a whole other potato.

Geez, I owe Subaru and no one else. And even with that, I have positive equity on the car, since these things hold their value better than the majority of the market.
But since I've been dumping all of my money into getting ahead of payments, paying off other debts, and throwing a ____load of my paycheck into my 401k, I'm beyond broke.

Latest:
Called today. They're still waiting to receive the latest allocation info. If my car is on this allocation he said I can expect to take delivery at the END OF OCTOBER! And that's if it even made it onto this allocation!
Grr.

Received my fairing last night...
So now I have a few things waiting for the car:
- snow tires
- rally armor
- fairing
Will have to gauge the weather as it gets closer to delivery... I may be having them install my snow tires when I get pickup the car.

Must be nice... it's hard enough to get 1 here. My friend is in a worse situation though (see below).
).As for my friend, he ordered a white WRX Limited 2 days after I did (me: saturday, him: monday). Mine is on this allocation - his is not. He just called SOA and they told him that there are currently 16 WRX Limiteds in the US - NONE in NY or PA. NONE in white. No idea how long he's going to end up waiting at this point. I'd be kind of ____ed, but there really isn't much he can do - short of changing his order to something else - but by the time THAT one gets filled, he may have had his original request filled.
To quote him:
Subaru has a pretty messed up system. I can order a Piece of crap dodge and they can tell me that day when I will have it. And I can track it through the factory.

Any news? I'll be in the market this summer. Test drove an 07 sti this weekend, it was very nice to say the least. I think my plan is to try to find an sti in good condition, but that may be a pipe dream so a new WRX would be the next best match for me. Or how about that scion FT-86...
