    Hello MNsubaru!

    New to the subaru world. Found this forum and figured id make an account and learn more about subies. Recently purchased a 2002 wrx wagon, original owner, all maintenance up to date. Needed a new DD and found this an jumped on it. Thing is spotless. interior is like new. very clean.

    Future plans with the wagon.. wheels, lower it abit, and exhaust. I already have a jack stand queen in the garage. :) Been in the mitsu world for the last 5 years. currently own 2 dsm's. But after driving the wrx i fell in love.

    Here's my wagon! :)

    Haven't updated here in awhile. Have done a few things to the wagon.

    First thing that got done was tint. Chris at flawless tint did a great job and really made a huge difference in the look of the car.

    Next thing I did was installed a hitch. The install was simple and painless. Perfect for hauling bikes and have alittle trailer for when I ride moto.

    Recently, picked up a pair of yakima crossbars and mounts.. Going to be adding a fairing and cargo basket.
