Scott Putnam

My name is Scott Putnam. Welcome to my way of life!

I live, eat and breathe Subaru. In this site you will find everything you ever wanted to know about Subarus (Well, maybe not everything yet) and then some. I hope you find this informative and useful.

I am the Fleet Sales Manager at Morrie’s Subaru in Minnetonka, Minnesota and yes, you can buy a car from me. After you’ve read all the great info about Subarus and have decided that you can’t face another day without one, let me know! I can do business anywhere in the U.S. and overseas, and perhaps save you some of your hard earned dollars.

Rally and Subaru go hand in hand around here. When you purchase a car from me via subaru.net you help support motorsports, as a large part of my advertising budget goes to supporting rally and enthusiast related activities. I currently sponsor the Ojibwe Forests Rally, am title sponsor for the Headwaters Rally and RallyFest. I have sponsored CPD Racing, Mayhem Racing, Primitive Racing, and Hairpin Racing in addition to the local Rallycross Series. Three to four times a year I hold events at the dealership in support of local enthusiasts. I have been an active fiscal supporter of the rally community since 1997.
