    Hey, figured I would say hello and give a little background on what I have / am looking at buying.
    Originally from Northern MN, now live in ND. I do make it back a fair amount though.
    First:
    Bought this 2010 FXT in 2012 from White Bear Lake Acura/Subaru-Needed the space and have always wanted a turbo'd vehicle. Best of both worlds. Being an engineer, always leads to more curiosity.
    Then I decided to learn more about subarus: Mods to date.
