A car is more than just a mode of transportation—it can be a symbol, a message, and even a form of advocacy. For Desirae Sherry, her 2015 Subaru WRX, known as Endo War, is more than just a build; it’s a personal battle cry against stage 4 Endometriosis, a disease she was diagnosed with in 2018. Through her passion for cars, Desirae has created a vehicle that not only turns heads but also raises awareness for a condition that too often goes unspoken.
The Inspiration Behind Endo War
When Desirae first purchased her 2015 Subaru WRX for $21,000, she was simply fulfilling a dream of owning one of her favorite cars. Initially, it was a daily driver with minor performance modifications, including an upgraded turbo and tune. However, after her Endometriosis diagnosis, her vision for the car changed dramatically. She saw the opportunity to use her build as a platform to bring awareness to the disease, ensuring every modification had a connection to her journey—from the color scheme to the name itself.
Every March, which marks Endometriosis Awareness Month, Desirae shares updates on her personal battle via Instagram (@15wrxgirl), using her car to start conversations and encourage women to speak openly about their struggles.
Building a Dream
With a total build cost of $20,000 and over four years of dedication, Endo War has transformed into a stunning, custom-built masterpiece. This is Desirae’s first full build, and she has plans to continue evolving it with additions such as custom headlights and taillights, a front-mount intercooler, an Invidia downpipe, an E85 conversion, a relocated turbo for better display, and carbon fiber under-hood accessories.
Performance and 2015 Subaru WRX Engine Mods
Desirae’s WRX packs a punch under the hood. The 2.0L turbocharged Subaru engine features:
