I just paid taxes, title, tags on it. The rest of it is all her. So I still won't have any cash

The downside is it's automatic But she can't drive a manual, doesn't really want to learn, and when we have a kid, she really doesn't want to have the extra hassle.

Still a fun car thought.. She called me Saturday night with "Um, the WRX just got it's first kill.. This thing get's fast quick".. I think I've created a monster
