I'm not in DC anymore and I don't actually own a Subaru anymore, but can tell you this is a great collection of guys and gals that you'll be happy you met. Welcome aboard. :D

Hey, wifey and I live in Arlington, so we're just a hair north of you. Like Gabe, we don't own a Subaru anymore (just got a new car this year actually), but it is a good group of folks. I spent a lot of time out in Seattle when I was working for Microsoft. Man, I love that town. Tough choice when thinking of the places I want to go back to, it's always at the top of my list with Hawaii, strange as that may seem.

Welcome aboard. :)

Thanks all..... Yea traffic sucks here but i try and avoid most of it. Grew up here when i was a little kid so i kinda know the area. And i like to drive a lot so im knowing more and more. Seattle is ok. I worked at MS myself for a little. But theres more work and more money here. Look forward to meeting people. Ill see some of you on wednesday at the meet at hard times. Also im always looking for parts and deals for my car so let me know if anything comes up with anyone haha. Thanks again.

Welcome! I work at Beyer Subaru in Alexandria. Please stop by when you get a chance and drop off some cards. I'm always looking for vendors for tint, detailing, etc..
I rarely make it to the meets nowadays. But this is one of the coolest group of guys that you'll meet in the area.

Thanks Thermobox. I was acually over there not to long ago when the Dave Mirra rally car was there. Great guys. Ill be sure and drop in when i can. I do pass by there a lot. @FreddyG, My rates vary. Mainly specialize in interior. Stains and such. But always willing to give great deals to good people.

I used to work at a detail shop before the airforce, so much fun but it sucks in the cold weather. People would always come ask for a wax while it was snowing and our details were underneath an outdoor tarp. Such a waste of time because the wax would never dry we would just kinda go light on the application and smeer the rest til it looked acceptable.

Welcome Evan. I have 2 04 Subarus. Forester XT & WRX Sedan.
Have you begun to mod the Forester yet?
If not, I will be the voice in your ear luring you to the Dark Side.
Seriously, join the Dark Side, we have pie.

Heh, I used to be that way. Now you should see the attic and garage.

I would say make a plan and stick to it. Otherwise you may end up with two engine blocks, three transmissions....


We will be on the lookout for you tonight.

Welcome to the group :) As has been echo'ed above, we're a fun group that loves cars (and our 2WD brothers too, haha). Sorry I didn't meet you at the White Elephant meet, but hopefully I can introduce myself next time!

BTW, we all carry an assortment of parts. Between all of us, we could probably build a car from scratch!

Have I not welcomed you yet? Well letme give you the honor. You've been welcomed.

Piggy backing off what Sabre said, I have a K&N short ram intake and UTEC, neither of which have a home right now.
