    Well...I finally did it...I traded in the wagon on Halloween for a 2008 OBP 2.5 XT LTD Forester:wtc:. I got it at Annapolis Subaru and the service was great....It reminded me of when I got the wagon @ SoG. I am very happy with my Forester and plan to mod it after about 3000 miles. I have always wanted a black wagon and finally my wishes have come true. It was the last 2008 OBP in the Mid Atlantic also. Pictures to come soon.

    NO!!!! Just playing, What ever makes you happy Mark. Good luck with the new ride. At least you keep it in the family. But the wagon will be missed.

    NICE!! I almost went with that too. I wanted to build a wagon STi. I chose not to b/c it would never really be track worthy.

    When I get married I'm going to build her one... Not that it's a girl car! I just want that as my second car.

    Who had the black one that sounded like a BEAST???

    I love it...I want to get it to go as fast as Slizan's...what actually got me hooked on Forester's was when I did the night run at TOTD in Porter's and also seeing how quickly you can mod it and get it to 300 AWHP....LOL...I will start with suspension mods first, then performance mods...

    Congrats Mark. Looking forward to pics. BTW, that loud black Forrester blew my doors off in the R32 one time turning right onto hwy 92 from Crabapple Rd - and shot flames out his exhaust in the process.
