  • Hello from San Diego

    My name is Ryan and I drive a 2007 Satin White Pearl STI. I grew up and currently live in the small town of Julian. Being a Southern California native, I have been active in the car show community since I was very young. My Profession I am a Firefighter for Cal Fire and my drive and commitment have gotten me this far, and it will only grow stronger. My Hobbies include Modifying Cars, Car Shows, Racing Cars, Track Events and Social events.
    My STI is a Daily Driven/Show/Race Car, I purchased the car in mid January of 2008 with the intention of modifing not only to look good but to perform just as well. My first thought was to modify the car for show only but after going to some local San Diego SCCA Auto X events I quickly got hooked on driving it. I have done nearly all of the work done to this vehicle by myself, and have learned a great deal along the way. At this time, I actively participate in car shows, meets, and events in and around Southern California and I hope to become a member of Team Hybrid. If you have any questions or concerns dont hesitate to ask...
