Yeah I don't have a problem with 04 but when I explained the stock differences between 04/05 he said hed want an 05 (8" vs 7.5 wheels, fender arches) he hasn't owned a performance subaru yet, just got his first subie a few months ago...a 2000 legacy wagon..

He used to talk smack about my car when I first got it but after I flung him around a few corners he started to realize what joy turbo+awd brings haha

May have found the car though...pmed you stylishwrx
