Dave,Congrats! Hey,I've been thinking of you....often,lately. I have that rear quarter for an EA81 wagon that you won on eBay and I picked up. Still there. Let me know if you can make a run down sometime soon and I'll send you home with plenty of extra stuff.

Hey you turkeys! Got the move done without you.:cool: Or just about anyone else. Charlie was the only guy to come down and help me. And he's not even signed up here on the USMB :-p And that was only one small trip bringing two engines over. Otherwise it was all ME. Be sure to check eBay and the Marketplace for all the great parts and cool stuff I'll be unloading in the next month or so as time allows. One man,two stones,one Legacy wagon,and one little Ford Ranger borrowed from dad for a few days. And my lugnuts are still intact. Jeff,if you see this,I will now focus on your motorcycle. We'll be talking very soon. And for anyone waiting on shipping,please give me a couple more days to get your items going. Thanks

Or you might just be wearing into the rotors somewhat. Check the brakes lately?

Hey Guys,I'm OUT....sorry. FREE tickets on the third base line to a Yankees game. My son is an ARod fan and he's going to be about 20 ft. from the guy all game long. Right there in the first box off third base!! Have fun. Rob,I'll have to catch you next year,my brother. :-\ Have fun guys! Don't get out of control.

:lol: Well,there's two factors here. Up there,like Albany and north,going up towards the lakes its Dodge cars and scotch drinking.They're in a different world than the rest of NY and New England. As a matter of fact,Subaru of America recently ran a radio ad clearly stating that the NYC area is now the leading sales market in the USA. Factor two,you're right.The EA81 cars joined the dinosaur status my '78 and '79 wagon's have.The "GL/DL/Loyale" is right behind them. Mostly due to rot,without question. The early Legacy,now there's a point I've made for a couple of years now. It seems they rotted out quickly too.Pre-galinized bodywork,poor painting,etc. Those cars went ragged fast,to me. There are plenty of examples left down here but they are fading fast too,and most show great wear,but just won't die. I relate these to the '80-84 cars because they also had paint issues and held water in all the wrong places and rotted out all too quickly,while having a reliable engine and drivetrain. You come down here,boy,we'll show you some real purty Subarus. :cool: BTW my '92 FWD is just great,and solid too,always a NY or MA car. My '78 wagon too,always was within 10 miles of my home,but it was rustproofed properly when new.

Congrats to both of you and best of luck. Lots to do here before I can even consider the Dragon,but I'll see what I can do. Certainly,Rob coming makes me want to push to make it happen. Where are you starting out from? How many overnights? How far down the Parkway are you guys going?

Trip out? You didn't eat those mushrooms in Oregon,did you???!!!! :-p Dragon thing,I'll be trying,can't promise though.

Now that's dedi-freakin-cation!!!! Ended up getting a call around midnight but the studio was closed for the night.... See you next RedneckFest...:-p

Got no call from my musician friend so sorry,no late night trip up. Glad you guys had fun.

Thanks spark,PM sent. Did Andrew ever make it there? He's in Eugene OR these days hanging out with octogenarians.

Have fun guys! And,we did have an ECSS1 already,but only a couple dozen hardcores were there.This would be pertaining to the base here on the USMB. Carlisle is a National Event as they advertise it,and we are growing as an ECS Group.The new wave of Subaru owners is begining to show interest there. And of course,we have Connie's Cookouts !! You WCSS people

Sorry guys,can't make it. Have a great time.....if you can beat your efforts here. Company Family Day at Quassy Park,niece's graduation/birthday party MUST attends. See you all next time.

Worth that and more,without question.

We did it to the infamous touring wagon while ripping through Pine Barrens for the ?? 4th or 5th time. Just the top punched through a little,but enough to say bye bye to the car. My opinion,don't waste any more time or money on it.Use it.Deal with the moldy smell,obviously you have already on rainy days.Get a few of those fat paychecks from your new job and go 2.2 !!! Something pre-97,cheap and effective.

Looking strong!!!

I will do my utmost to make it,but certainly can't promise anything. Rob,when is Sturgis? Maybe you can hit that on the way back if the timing is right. Any plans on the route back? Going the same in reverse or maybe swing a little northeastward??

Yeah,I was thinking along these lines too.But we don't have to see his g'folks like he does.Guilt,and all that....but hey if you "sold" it to a friend who would more or less hold it for you untill a little time goes by... Mechanics and tinkering with cars is something you obviously want to take part in.They'll recognize that as your hobby and appreciate your wanting to restore that classic over time.They don't feel that way now,but they will in a few months,a year,or so. My opinion. That is a unique vehicle in FL these days.

Hey,nipper does have friends!! ...so he says... Going to be good to hang with all these ball breakers,I'm sure. Any children coming? Besides us? As long as I can make it I'll bring up something you folks haven't mentioned.

Like I said,no Friday or Monday classes.Or at least not late Friday or early Monday. He's still married!!!! Devotion? Commitment? Some people will do that sort of thing. Especially when you have a trustworthy Subaru. BTW he lives in NY,not CT and if you look at a map it's just into NY from Danbury,CT so it's a good 35+ miles north of NYC. If you met him,you'd believe him.

Cool,yeah,send me a number.I think the last time I called you didn't answer/call back because it changed....talk to you soon. July looking good so far.

You PM'd that number to me,but I don't really need it.Thanks though,it's a different number from what I have,so that's probably the home number. Shawn,hit those yards and let me know what's there from the 70's....please.

July looking pretty good for me. I think the first weekend is tough,but later gets better. I might even hit the famous Jersey Shore for some time in the waves,make a weekend out of it. Don't forget,when its dry you NEED a dust mask of some sort-bandana,T-shirt,etc....but there will be much dust kicking up on anyone not in the lead position. Glad you're doing better,Neo!

OK,but as I know it I'm not exactly ready to start a list and carry this forward. If you guys get 25 then someone might want to step up and take the order to PRP. I'm just too busy right now,and not continuing with any EA81 cars. PRP = Pecision Replacement Parts http://www.prp.com/ Derek Churchyard is THE guy to deal with. We have established a good relationship with them.The price we got is well below their retail price.

Glenn, That's all wonderful,but the guy is as unique as his car's mileage. You do all the math you want and call it as you see it,that's fine. I believe the guy. So,between the two cars they have well over 2 million miles.That Hatch is rusty but salvagable.Could make it to 1 million too,with some help. Anyhow....I'm going to call him later this week to see how he's doing.

He told me he always taught in places like U of Michigan,U of Florida,etc.etc...and he's stay there in a small apartment during the week,not have a Friday afternoon class or a Monday morning class,and blast home on the weekends. His routine was to get home,park the car,drain the oil,THEN go in and see the wife.Come back later and finish the oil.And if it was the fifth time he'd do a tune-up too. He's a classic.
