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.
