Notes:
A turbo Forester has been my dream car (I'm wierd like that) since I got to drive one in Japan in 1999. I had a 1998 Impreza that I was about to do an STi v4 engine/tranny/seats swap, but I decided to use that money as down payment for the car I really wanted, a Turbo Forester. After searching around I decided my new ride had to be a 2005 5MT CGM XT Premium.
My favorite style has always been the 03-05, I really wanted a manual, and 05 was the only year you could get the XT in a combo of the big foglight frontend, CGM, and a 5MT with the premium package.
Since it is a fairly rare combination, I had to search nationwide to find it. A forum member happen to have exactly that combo, but he was in CT, a good 3200 miles from me. After several emails and phone calls we worked out a deal and I had the car shipped across the country to me.

I've been loving it ever since!
