A review of the "Dad Wagon" 2007 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited

Описание: Last week for our customer showcase, we had the pleasure of shooting the infamous "Dad Wagon"; a 2007 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited owned by Mike Wallace out of Columbia, MD. It's always interesting to hear the story behind people's car projects and Mike was gracious enough to spend the day with us and give us the rundown on his project and how it became the "Dad Wagon". You know how it is, once you are bitten by the "mod fly", it's hard to resist the urge to leave the world of stock.

"When I first bought the Forester, I had no intentions of doing anything to it," jokes Wallace. "But after a few months of owning it, I couldn't resist slamming it and it just snowballed from there!"

Mike brought his daughter, Mia, along for the shoot. It was awesome to see how much he loves being a father. Most guys probably think that once they start a family, the car project days are over. Instead of making his family a reason to set his other passion for cars aside, his role as a father has been an inspiration for his project and a true reflection of who he is. Cheers to Mike, his family, and his awesome ride!
