Yea, seen this a while ago. It goes pretty well into detail and shows some of the crazier things just chilling in the ‘parking lots’ waiting for export. lol The guys pretty much act exactly how I would if I was there buying the car… EXCITED!

They got a white S15 SPEC R and they attempted to get the Forester STI but apparently some bullshit came up with the STI and they couldn’t get them both.
