Thanks everyone for the welcome. dsizer I have no idea if I live down the street from you. I love my RS, picked it up down in Atlanta and drove it back here, nice low mileage and very clean. ---

Yeah the forester is great for winter and perfect for snowboard trips, I need to fix the suspension though and get rid of the ass sag, I can’t stand that. I wish it was turbo too, would make it so much more fun. I did swap in some 02 WRX seats and a blue STi carpet to make it a little better. ---

That was a fun cruise minus my smokey brakes and the blown wheel bearing, that was fun to change the next day. I love the green wheels too, I kind of like the yellow better now. They have more pop. I was hoping that both sides would have been a little brighter, I bought the neon paint but with every coat they just got less and less neon and more solid. Still obnoxious and awesome though. ---

My car was parked down there for awhile but that was at my friends house. That’s where I rattle canned the Forester. ---
