Default Blown motor at Reeves

Anyone know about a Blue STI up at Reeves that is getting their 2nd motor replaced? Buddy of mine that works at the Porshe dealership mentioned it to me.

I was up there today and what a story. I will state that it has nothing to do with it being a lemon engine from subaru. Oh, and by the way I got to drive the new Turbo 997 today
