    Well, I suppose I will introduce my car first... it's easier to explain than I am. I got my first Impreza about 3 years ago, and it was quite the mess... It was made from about 4 different Subaru's at the time, but the seller didn't think I needed to know that. A 93 wagon body, a 90-94 Legacy drive-train and 2.2 block (but still the 1.8 manifold), front calipers labeled 98 Forester, front end and seats from a 2.5RS apparently... I added the rear sub-frame, disc brakes and sway-bar from a 95 Impreza, the struts from a 97 OBS, along with tires from a Forester, and exhaust from a 02 WRX. It's been interesting finding parts, and the model count is up to 7 now.

    I, on the other hand, am about as crazy as my Subaru sounds. Too many projects at once, and as many cars as a small junk yard at times. I kept hearing from friends about the MNSubaru site, and how the local crowd was nicer to work with than the bigger forums. I am looking forward to seeing what I can do here.

    If anyone happens to recognize my Impreza, and knows the original combiner of the mess, I would love to hear from them!

    It's amazing how fast you end up learning when you don't have a choice! It's been called a Frankenwagon on more than a few occasions :D I swear I am going to make the multi-tone paint look intentional one of these months...

    Hello!! So the question would be, how does it feel to own 7 cars?
