That's cool Ben,  an '09 already.. Someone didn't get to enjoy the new
subaru too long huh.  It's great to see you staying into it as I've got a
few little dents that will be just right for your new dent puller, and a van
that will need a subi one of these years..  You may not want to work on my
van though since it isn't rusty yet... ha ha..
