after my truck so graciously combusted i was in need of a dependable vehicle.

so i bought dickiesbike1's little beater subaru

94 Legacy wagon with rebuilt motor (40k miles-ish), new clutch and brakes. AWD and handles like a friggin dream. helluva lot better than my non-power-steering S-10. and it was well within my budget

it's a beater on the outside but has a killer motor and i think i'm going to have it painted. a nice shiny coat of black paint will make it pretty friggin sweet.

so now i have what i needed. a car that gets good gas mileage, can carry the kids if the van is out of commission and can easily haul the bikes and gear.

here's a crappy pic of it from after a winter night downhill race we went to. who knew that i'd be driving it just 4 months later

my wife had to make an emergency trip to FL and she took the camera but i'll snag some better pics when she gets back. you have to see the bond-o on the back to fully appreciate the manimalistic styling of this beauty

Its a good look for you. It will be strange seeing one of those devoid of hippy stickers though. Beware, if it gets greenie tagged... it wasnt me

That was in Feb when the old owner and i were coming back from a winter DH race called The Icycle.

i suppose i'll have to get this t-shirt in sticker form

Fixed:

When I got my roo, the lesbian comment was the first thing anyone said. Hadn't even noticed until then, but it's a fairly accurate stereotype.

My brother always asks if I come back to find my Subaru parked in the opposite direction from another Subaru next to it...cuz, you know, it's a lesbian.

I thought of that today when we were overtaken by a Plymouth Vibe.
