Time for a new ride.......

Hey guys, looks like im getting a new winter beater/daily driver. Im trading in the 94 explorer and getting a 2004 Subaru Forester 2.5 XT. The thing is pretty quick from the factory. I was hearing that they can do 1/4 mile times of 13.5 or so. Somebody even said that they base dyno alittle higher than a stock wrx. Dunno if its true or not, but still. I was reading about that even some sti parts work on this particular engine. Dunno if Im gonna do any mods to it or not, but it wont be for a while if I do. Heres a pic of one that I found over seas. Let me know what you guys think. Later.

I can understand why people dont like it, but i dont know. I had to pick a car that was easy for my dad to get in and out easily enough (He is physically handicapped, bad back) and yet still a fun car to mess around with. It was way too hard for him to get into a sti and even the reg wrx, but he really likes the forester so I said why not. Anyways......

Im planning on getting the sti suspension for it and some bronze rota sub zeros for it. Oh and its the java black color. So im hoping it looks decent enough. Ill keep you guys posted. Later.
