    Recently, one of the old Subaru groups I use to hang out with in the chicago area, and my buddy's shop took on a project to fix and "overhaul" an 04 sti. The car belonged to US Army PFC Adam Trost who was serving his 2nd tour in Iraq. The project started when Adam's father brought the car in to have its oil changed and a couple things fixed and cleaned up before Adam returned, but before long parts were donated from all over the area to help build pretty much a brand new sti.

    That is pretty awesome, especially that it grew and grew into thousands of dollars of parts and a lot of work. Pat on the back to everyone who made that happen!

    This is uncommon. It's cool, but when I was in the Navy, I came home to the same Mazda protege that I left.
