Forester XT group rolled through also.

They only had 8-10 cars in the group, but I really like 'em, and they share a lot of upgradability with the STi.

Thanks for posting this on your site Killboy. This was our first group meet from the www.subaruforester.org website. It was a blast to be there. BTW-The Blue STi came all the way from Ontario. Outstanding.
I was driving the newer '09 Red XT.

Yeah I really hadn't noticed one of these before in my life, and when they came through I thought "Those are actually really cool!".

Get this though, just as y'all rolled through for my first exposure to them, I was reading the "Reader's Rides" issue of Modified magazine. I was finishing up the piece on the S2000, flip the page, and there is a FXT! Then I get to looking, and notice the Canadian plates. Flip to the shot I got on camera, and sure enough, same car! My friend Sarah showed up to hang out for a bit, and I told her about it, and said "If they come back through, you gotta hold up the magazine to that article." Soon afterward y'all were coming back through for another pass, and she said "Now?" I said "Yeah now!" and she held it up as the blue one drove past. They messaged me later saying they noticed it and it made the whole trip worthwhile. (Well, aside from the great road I'm sure. ;) That was the craziest coincidence ever for me though...I love my job. =)
