Kimberly Allen: 2015 Subaru WRX

From the day Kimberly Allen was born she's been at the drag strip and wrenching on cars. "I worked for 10 years to be able to get my dream car, Maci Grey," mentions Allen, "my 2015 Subaru WRX." She got it brand new from a Subaru dealership in Puyallup, WA, "she only had 13 miles on her, and that new car smell!" She cried driving the WRX home. "My dream became a reality."

It didn't take long for Allen to catch the mod-bug. She's still learning the setup but the best ET (drag racing) so far is 13.05. "I know with practice we'll be running 12s in no time," states Allen. Her inspiration comes from a few different people - Dustin Williams for his WRX build; her dad for showing her how to mix nitro and pull the heads off the funny car; her mom for raising her to be strong enough to take on the world no matter what it throws at her (and that definitely is needed in the car world).

"My husband has been a big supporter of my passion," mentions Allen, "and puts up with my puppy-dog eyes." Her husband immediately knows she's asking if they can buy some new parts for Maci. Allen has a lot of future plans for the WRX.

"Like all things, they take time. I'm determined to make them a reality."
