    I see a few around the area on different occasions. How many do we have around here. Or even the northwest metro area.

    How long have you had the white rims? Tough to keep clean of brake dust or no? Piant or powdercoat?

    I am not from the area...but am working a job in Big Lake for the next two days. I also think that Terry A. is the man, so i can post here!! :)

    I'm in coon rapids and commute between hwy 10 and Hanson to hwy 10 and airport Rd in blaine six days a week. I rarely see other subies, probably because of my hours.

    02 psm wrx with black scoop and wing. And painted tail lights. IMG_20140507_203526_778.jpg

    I live in Andover and see @BroCo Almost daily on Bunker when I leave for work at the right time.
    I usually drive Bunker Lake Blvd to Central/HWY65 and head south to main street every morning during the week and head west on Main street/242/HWY14 daily anywhere on my way home. The weekends are a crapshoot on where I'll be. Although most saturdays I'll be heading north on Round Lake to St. Francis at Roselawn Stables bringing my daughter to her Equine Team events. I might not be in the WRX wagon all the time, but I'll keep an eye out for people.

    04 PSM Only real definitive aspects are black mudflaps and a gouge in the front bumper that strangely represents a 2" hitch receiver. PO hit the back of a truck ;-)

    @matt03 How did you get the 2in reciever to work on the car? Ive been contemplating putting a hitch on mine and all I see are the tiny hitches. And Ive heard that the towing wiring harness is behind one of the tail lights I just havent had the time to really look
    @CarpalTomO Im in Ham Lake and drive bunker every day for work and I know the Blaine area pretty well cause I graduated from Blaine high school
    @xodad2 I m pretty sure Ive seen you around Coon Rapids too the car looks really familiar

    I'm betting money on the 2" hitch being a custom job since the Impreza wagon chassis is not cleared (in the US) to haul the weight that a 2" hitch can carry. Most people have to weld on a 2" receiver to the standard 1-1/4" hitch setup. I've checked all around for that and have settled on a 1-1/4" for my wagon.

    The harness is near the passenger tail light tucked down into a crevice almost under where the cargo light is. Now this is on my '04 It may be in another place on the 02-03 wagons.

    Yeah the 2 inch is custom. It was on the car when I bought it, he said it was off of a mini van.

    The wheels are aftermarket called T8, made by Sport Tuning. I got a great deal on them on tirerack.com a few months ago. I had them on my 2011 impreza, and lucky for me the 2004 wrx has the same bolt pattern so I didn't need to go find new wheels :)

    I believe I saw Terry today just south of Zimmerman on 169 on my way home today. It must have been around 5:10 or so? I noticed you just as you were driving by so didn't see if you waved or not. Your car looks great!

    Wasn't me. I was not on 169, and was home at that time.
