    I live way up north. I'm from St. Cloud. Some of you may know me from various other sites over the past many years...

    Looking at picking up a couple Subarus in the near future.

    I've been around Subarus a fair amount... My friend had a STi, and rolled it... all that was transferred into his friend's wagon. I learned my wrenching skills (or better yet, lack of) from working on Hondas minus the rice stuff. Attended all of teh AARRF events when those were taking place and a few MNAutoX events. Never a participant.

    I do a lot of motor sports photography as a semi professional hobby... Hoping to make it to Ojibwe this year since Assignments with the Knoxville Nationals always conflicted with the Ojibwe events. Working on finding some work so I can get my credentials to cover the event.

    I have a 1946 Ford Pickup I'm working on making into a traditional 50s hot rod. We'll see how that goes. My accord (DD) is on it's last leg so that maybe pushed asside to fund my Subaru itch.

    Yeah... Sooo that's my life situation hahaa.

    What are their names? Did they grow up around those parts?
    Hell yeah! Nothing beats read clay!
    Someone always has to show off!
    My close friend lives in Maplewood just near the mall in those blue/white townhomes.

    I went to Apollo, but the names oddly sound familiar... I could be crazy though.

    Ohhhhh the good ole 77 280 *tear... I replaced it with my 46 Ford Pickup ...I'm turning into a traditional 50s hot rod... nothing goes on that couldn't have been in the 50s.... keepin the flathead in it too...

    But that too is on the back burner... Might sell it to go back to a Z.... I dunno...

    I'd be happy with either.... its just finding the time to work on them...oi!

    Hahhaa... Its the awesomely famous Subaru Two Tone... White and Silver!

    Surprisingly for it being 10 years old... No dents, 1 small door ding..zero rust, interior is flawless. $4200 ... not bad... Now I just need to find a complete sti drive train... and suspension... with brakes... lol... my wallet is feeling mighty thin.
