Seventy7 Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ok, I'm new here and I can see all the pics in this thread are cool vintage Subaru's..but I figured I'd share what I have just because this is my 1st Subaru, definitely not my last, I love this car to death! And eventually I'm gonna have a crap ton of questions when I finally find a Brat with a straight body, so maybe this can get me chatting with some of you vets. The Crosstrek is bone stock save for the hitch I put on. When I was shopping for this car the only one negative comments I heard was "lack of power". Yeah, I mean it's no torque monster or anything but it's not true. I pull that bike and load up the back with tool boxes, racing leathers, jugs of water, coolers, gas can...it pulls fine. I used to wonder "what am I gonna do for fun when bike season is over?"--but now that I have this, I just drive around looking for un-plowed streets! These 2 vehicles for me are symbolic--had a bad stint with health that made finances tight for awhile. I got on my feet a couple years ago and treated myself with the new bike I wanted...got a better job about 2 years after that and got myself the car I wanted and both of them have been awesome to me. I plan on years ahead with Subaru and on the track, Suzuki. The 1st track day of 2014 back in April. I still had it's stock body on it back then. The bike is a 2011 GSX-R 750. Pretty cool how this worked out--my buddy is in the middle and the guy on the right just happened to park there. Thought it was a cool shot. That was a few weeks ago up NY state. Same bike only I got rid of all the street/stock parts for race plastics. This bike is full track/race bike now. Still lots of work to do, lots more cool stuff to spend money on! The 1st week I brought it home. Before this I was playing it cheap avoiding a car payment--I had a 12 year old Jeep, the heat went this past winter and so did the 4wd...I went from dreading snow to begging for more! You can barely see the wheel make an appearance in the background--if you're gonna call out sick from work on the 1st 70 degree day of the year--park your car, hang up the keys and then go outside for some R&R Thanks!

That was a Monday, I had a day to burn and just got that R/C car. Afternoon came and it was sunny and warm, I spent a few hours playing with that car and nursing a few of those brews...that was a nice day! I love this car but being it was my 1st new car in a very long time and my 1st Subaru, I leased this one. I'm so hooked on Subaru that I'm already looking at Outbacks and Foresters. I'll be sure to take more pics soon! Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
