Well I have been lurking around these forums long enough, its time for me to revel myself.

My name is Mike, I am from Minneapolis. I have known about the AKA for a few years. Heck a buddy and I were going to enter a few years ago, but he moved away... and I got sidetracked with rally racing. Then last year I got hooked again, right before the 08 AKA. Then that was it. I watched most of the live footage, followed to forums, and enjoyed the pictures. So I finally put some money down on the deposit for the 09 AKA a few months ago.

I have been involved with cars my whole life.
I have Driven in SCCA Performance Rally, and Rally America series for 3 years. Then I switched sides, and became a Crew Chief for CPD Racing, and we managed a 3rd overall in Open class for 2008 and competed in X-Games 12 and 14. I have also owned a fair share of Subaru's in the past. Now I switched to what some people call the dark side, and bought a 2009 BMW 335xi a few weeks ago, and had some fun on the European delivery...

And the pretty much sums it up, I am looking forward to meet all you guys this summer, and have some :cheers:

Great looking rides. I'm a closet subaru fanatic and have some lose ties to them as my uncle makes parts for a few of the rally teams and one of my friends owns Innovative Tuning. Love the wagon! Glad to hear you're on board :)

Love both subies.... especially the sleeper wagon.

Great pictures of the 330 during the winter.


Love the wagon with the pro-drives on them.

Subaru fanatic myself.

I'll take the suby sedan please =D

Love that wagon :)

Interesting cars!

Hi!
looks like you'll make an excellent addition to the AKA family with that resume.
Welcome.
