Win a 2004 Subaru WRX STI (or $15K Cash) from Dvniemela

What you're looking at

The official rules keep it terse — 'one (1) 2004 Subaru' — but everything about Dvniemela points one direction: a 2004 Impreza WRX STI. The store sells nothing but STi-branded merch, and the past-giveaway list reads like an STi/Evo greatest-hits. 2004 is the year that matters: it's when the JDM-only STI finally came to the US, packing the 2.5-liter EJ257 turbo flat-four, a proper six-speed, Brembos, and the driver-controlled center diff (DCCD) that let you dial the AWD bias on the fly. Gold BBS-style wheels, big rear wing, World Rally Blue if you're lucky — this is the blueprint every fast Subaru since has been measured against.

Why it matters & the fine print

The second-gen STI has gone from tuner punching bag to genuine collector car: a 14,000-mile car brought $55,000 on BaT in December 2025, an 880-mile survivor bid past $67,000, Hagerty values a flawless #1 around $72,000. That context is the story, because the sponsor's ARV on this car is $15,000 — not a concours STI, but a driver. For an enthusiast that's arguably the more fun outcome. Entries start at $3 (one entry per $3 spent), scaling to $500 for 166 entries. There's a free route: mail a handwritten card to the Chattaroy, WA P.O. box for three entries. The window runs June 17 to July 17, 2026 (Pacific), drawing July 27. Open to U.S. residents 18+ (50 states + DC). The winner eats the taxes — or take the $15,000 cash instead. Confirm the exact car (trim, mileage, mods, condition) against the rules; the page doesn't spell those out.
