Welcome home Subie!

The 2002 Toyota Tundra just couldnt fit the baby seats in the back for the twins with me driving comfortably or safely. Also Costco runs were a hassle if I had more shopping to do.

So welcome back Subaru as my second favorite Subaru (LGT my first love), is a 2005 Forester XT. Absolutely love it and kids fit in the back as I went to DMV to do paperwork. Not going crazy with this one but trying to go STI theme and sleeper look. Picture is its 1st day home.

Black is sinister, but saw this Gold one on CL thanks to Mark and luckily was owned by our beloved troop who is currently deployed overseas which explains the low mileage at 51,000. He is unable to use the car and is costing him money to not drive it. Looking to put either 04 STI BBS in her or some Gold flush or at least 8" wide rims in either 17" or 18"s.

Gave his uncle permission to sell her as he will be going to deployed to Japan again when he gets back to Hawaii. Nice family and hung out with them yesterday doing the title change in Kapolei.

Very nice. I'm glad you bought it as now it's no longer tempting me. I think it needs a set of 18" P1's. (Hint, hint)
