A Passion Born and Built
Hi, I’m Gerard David, but most people call me "Sky." I’m from Lathrop, CA, and my love for cars has been a lifelong journey. Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of owning a car that would turn heads and represent my passion for the automotive world. Over the years, that dream has turned into a reality, culminating in my pride and joy: my One of a kind 2022 Subaru BRZ Varis the only 1 in the USA.
From the STI to the BRZ: A Subaru Love Story
My fascination with Subaru began back in college. In 2016, I bought my first Subaru, a brand-new STI in metallic grey. It was my first taste of the Subaru magic, but I always knew there was more to explore. Fast forward to 2022, amidst the pandemic, I decided to take the plunge and begin a new journey with a Subaru BRZ.
Scrolling through Instagram one day, I stumbled across the Varis non-production kit demo car. It was love at first sight. With the help of Mackin Industries and some supportive friends, I managed to bring this rare kit to the U.S., and the transformation began.
