Fair enough. Honestly, this has been the best car! I'd recommend a Subaru to anyone.

Yeah, the impression that I get is that it's actually pretty solid. And being AWD and slightly overpowered for it's weight, I'm sure it's a hoot to drive.

On Saturday my son's school band played at halftime of the UMass game at Gillette Stadium. Here is The Lovely Mrs TAC and I:

Then on Sunday, we did the Freedom Trail/Harbor Cruise in Boston:

And yes, assholes, I AM wearing the same shirt two days in a row!!

And I posted in the Hard Rock thread, but here's a 19 y/o TAC in June of 1988 on the way to see the Monsters Of Rock at Giant's Stadium.

I wasn't questioning your ability to drive a stick. I've just always been wary of high-winding turbocharged rice-burners.

I was just poking at the fragility of the WRX tranny, at least in the earlier US models. Those things were made of glass, or balsa wood or something. I'm a DSM (Diamond Star Motors... Mitsubishi/Chrysler/Eagle) guy, on/off road enemies of Subaru. I was just throwing stones from my glass house, as DSMs are historically the most UNreliable cars EVER! But, I WILL own a 2g GSX one day that owns all. Until then, a few pics of the old girl RIP.

I think TAC got hit the hardest though.

TAC · « **Reply #2497 on:** October 17, 2016, 07:19:29 PM »

I actually had one in college.

One morning, I got up and some dudes must've picked it up and put it sideways in a parking spot.

So I had got a couple of my friends to help me pick it up and set it straight!

Prog Snob · « **Reply #2498 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:02:21 PM »

That's actually pretty funny.

TAC · « **Reply #2499 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:12:19 PM »

Another time we went..um..parking

and the back park of the driver's seat would not go back up. I drove home 25 miles as if I was sitting on a bench.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #2500 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:34:47 PM »

I broke a seat while "parking" too.

Y'all are funny thinking Ive burned through transmissions.. my car has over 70k miles and I've not had any major issues nor have I had to replace the clutch or gears.

And..... I give it 2,500 miles.

Backstory: When I was in college, we were talking about cars one night (I drove a '78 Datsun 280Z, mint, sweet) and I started mouthing off and said something to the effect of "Of COURSE I can handle a car like that; I've driven it hard, but never even gotten into trouble let alone crashed it!" Not a week later, ran head long into a tree at about 65 mph, totaled the car and lucky to be alive, let alone walk away (which I did; when the first cop on the scene asked me if the driver was still alive in the car, I said "I was the driver" and he told his partner "watch him; he's out of it".).

That's what that look is? Huh, I get it all the time from my kid, too. That makes me feel better (though I give her back the same smirk you're wearing, so it's even, isn't it?)

Nice pics, Snow Dog. You've inspired me to post some outdoorsy ones myself. From backpacking a couple of weeks ago...

It was fantastic. It is something I really look forward to every year now. All three of us do.

That hiking trip looks like a blast Bosk1!!! I'm sure those are memories both Father and children will cherish

And it goes without saying how beautiful the scenery is....

I miss the days of going camping. We used to go almost every year when I was growing up. There is no shortage of places to go in New York for beautiful nature scenery.
