Mark M's 2004 Subaru Forester STI

"There are dream cars, and then there are the cars that become part of your story. For me, that car is DJ.
Owning this car has always been a dream of mine, but bringing that dream to life took countless hours of hard work, dedication, and passion. Every detail, every modification, and every late night spent working on it was worth it — because this build is more than just a car. It's a reflection of who I am.
What makes DJ even more special is the inspiration behind it. The entire build is based on my son's favorite movie, making it something we can both share and enjoy together. Knowing that something I created is inspired by something he loves gives this project a meaning that goes far beyond trophies or recognition.
I never imagined that building my dream car would open so many doors. DJ has given me incredible opportunities to meet amazing people, travel across the country, and showcase all the hard work that went into creating it.
One of the biggest highlights was having DJ displayed in the Sony booth at the Canadian Mobile Audio Expo in Toronto — an experience I'll never forget. More recently, DJ was honored with the Best In-Car Entertainment award at the Driven Calgary Car Show, a recognition that made every hour of work feel worthwhile.

At the end of the day, DJ isn't just a show car. It's a dream realized, a project built with passion, and a reminder that hard work can lead to opportunities you never expected. I'm incredibly proud of how far this journey has taken us, and I can't wait to see where DJ goes next."
