 section. Josh's daily-driven Subaru competes in ice racing events
with the Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club, and he earned fourth place
his class for the 2009 season. Subaru STI "Pink" springs, STI Struts,
alloy wheels, and a variety of alignment strategies helped him get
there.
Dual-purpose daily drivers are at the heart of the GRM universe, so
we're sending Josh a GRM sticker pack for being in the Spotlight.
