I may have just done a very silly thing. Or an awesome thing, I'm still not sure yet. Just traded my 2003 wrx wagon for this:


Absolutely immaculate, not a spec of rust on it anywhere. Interior is in great shape, and the T-Tops don't even leak (I checked at the self serve car wash). Lots of maintenance records and receipts.

I really cannot wait until all this snow melts now.

Very nice - SC or NA? Have another car for snow days?

1987 NA with a 10k mile old (documented) engine rebuild. And yes, I just got a 2015 WRX back in December which is my daily. The MR2 is now safely tucked away under a car cover until the snow and salt goes away.

My first car was an immaculate 85 manual NA (red, no spoiler :fap:).

It was consumed by exploding head gasket. RIP. Loved that car.

I'll never forget my best friend and I tricking his sister into the trunk by claiming 'there's no way you'll ever fit.' We still joke about it today. That was 15 some-odd years ago.

My trusty 245 threw a rod last Monday and the engine is toast. I will keep the car, and will wait out for a new engine and drop it in. In the meantime, I had to get something reliable and something built outside the Cold War.

Enter the 2006 Subaru Outback.

This is the most modern car I've ever owned. It has a clicker, power and heated seats, power mirrors. All things I'm not used to. I was able to find one in a 5 speed and I have to say, compared to my 82 Volvo, the clutch is radically different. Still getting used to the "safety" features of always having to have my clutch in to start the car and whatnot; and the clutch itself is different; but I like the car overall.

Came with custom wheels, a sway bar and an ipod connector. I'm not sure I'll keep the wheels, but who knows.

Also I resent the attacks on great British engineering in this thread. Completely unrelated, but I am in a terrible mood from lying underneath the car yesterday when I dropped a spanner on my face and broke my front tooth. Perhaps we deserve each other.

Sup embracing the finery of British engineering (aka Stockholm Syndrome) buddy.

Despite your dental issue, I suspect you at least have clearance to turn a spanner generally in that sexy beast.

Ask me about stacking universal connectors to navigate Death Star trenches for access to various bolts in the Mini.

I dunno, I like it with that wheel? The wackiness is all in the exterior, the cabin keeps it simple overall and it's a better car for it. Like, it looks like a much nicer place to be than the cabin of the current-gen Lambos.
I mean if you want to extrapolate that point the vents are the same style as my Vibe (and most other pedestrian cars ten years ago).

You did well, I'd want it for the engine sound alone. The Virginia City Hillclimb wants more supercars this year, and I'd like to see it there, if only to hear it pass by on its way up the mountain.

Jack @ EFI Logics did the alignment, haven't had a chance to try them out in autocross as the car went away for the winter, cannot wait to get back out there. Also picked up a set of V7 JDM STi HID lights.
