('06-'08) Wessneroo's 2006 XT - "Roo II"

Wessneroo · 08-12-2012, 06:57 PM

2006 Crystal Gray Metallic Subaru Forester XT Limited
Bought: August 11, 2012 @ 74,080 miles
Current Mileage: 80,240 miles

After 2.5 awesome years with my awesome 2008 X, "Roo," I decided it was time to move on to the vehicle I had always wanted. I drove up to NC to make the trade for a super clean 2006 XT Limited with 74K on the clock. Here starts the journey of my next Forester, "Roo II."
