***NEW PICS ADDED ON PAGE 10 and timeline updated!!! (01-28-2010)***
Well, down at the beach this weekend w/ Grandfather and family. Things fell into place and I picked up an '08 WRB FSXT from Subaru of Richmond on the way back home.

And so dubbed "BLUE WASABI" to further the tradition (in virgin clothing straight from the dealership):





Latest power: 300WHP/300TQ (Jorge custom protune)

nice ride... so I assume insurance worked out well for you? how much power do those have stock? like 250 or something??

[nandanrp]

Do you have a member journal? As I don't see a reason this is in General

Nice car though.

[boondocksaint]

Woot! Glad to see you're in a new Subie. And I even like the color.
Do you have a journal? I forgot. If not, I think you should make one.

EDIT: Actually, I'll move this to the Journals Forum if you'd like.

-KB rear end links
-RB brake rotors F&R
-SS and coated brake lines F&R
