    Hello my name is Eric I'm new to Subaru's but not new to cars. A little background on me is I've worked for Clear Channel Radio (KFAN, KDWB, Cities 97, K102, Kool 108, KTLK) as an assistant engineer for the past 10 years. I now work for Bosch (yes like to power tools and auto parts). Enough about me and on to the car. I picked up a 06 WRX STi with 27,xxx miles on it. Car already has a lot of mods done to it so I'm excited to just be able to drive it and enjoy it. I'm looking forward to the meets. I'm going to try a be at the Dyno day at RS Motors on October 8 to see what the car can do and meet other Subaru owners.
