Re: RIP Jacob Munoz aka "BackwoodsBob"

Can't say I ever talked to him directly but I recognized his handle, always hard when a board member goes, will definitely pray for the family. :(

Re: West Coast Subaru Show 15
The wife and I will be there, not sure which car I'm taking though. I'll have the SVX if I get it fixed and registered in time, otherwise I'll most likely be driving my 87 turbo wagon.
