A Spotlight on Ben Troxell's Heavily-Modded WRX

A few months ago, I was hanging out with a few people, and a friend of mine introduced me to her roommate, Ben, telling him I wrote about cars. Long story short, he let me do a quick feature on his heavily-modded 2014 Subaru WRX. So without further ado… check this thing out:

Over the past few years, Troxell has posted videos of some mods, including the K&N Typhoon intake, the CNT Quad Tip Catback Exhaust and the WRX being tuned at Agile Automotive. You can check out more on his YouTube channel.

Troxell is also an avid car photographer. His Flickr and Instagram are easy to get lost in, as page after page show impressive cars like Lambos, Corvettes, Audis, Mercedes and others that I had no idea were in this area. I highly recommend taking a few minutes to scroll through them. Here are a few highlights:

That’ll do, Ben. That’ll do.
