Nice to see other goat people love their import cars also
We are big Subaru car people and attend some of the rallies in our home state of Minnesota and enjoy the Michigan rallies as well.

Hello.
Very nice car. Would you mind telling me where I can get the switch panel you have. I like the metal bars that protect the switchs from being hit by mistake. Thank you
