Scott Putnam

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

I live, eat and breathe Subaru. You will find a ton of stuff about Subaru on this site, and I hope you find this informative and valuable.

I am a Fleet Sales Manager at Luther Bloomington Subaru in Bloomington, Minnesota, and yes, you can buy a car from me. I offer 33 years of Subaru knowledge and experience and strive to make the transaction as simple and easy as possible. The experience of purchasing a car should be fun. I used to get several new vehicles a year back when we had demos, and it was always a thrill climbing into a new car and driving off. I have never forgotten that.

Subaru has always been a passion for me. This passion has led to a range of experiences. Those range from travels to both factories here and Japan, to competing in X Games as a co-driver in Rally Racing. Rally and Subaru go hand in hand around here. I currently sponsor the Ojibwe Forests Rally and have sponsored many rally teams and events throughout the years.
