west coast v. east coast
Some of the info here has actually made me laugh so enjoy all your ranting,I know I am. Anyone who lived here in the 70's and early 80's knows the deal.Now,it's not the same with the choices the yuppies have these days.SUV's,4WD Audis,Merdedes,Porshe,etc.,etc. Numbers,show some numbers.East coast people who drive Subarus are a little different than the west coast folks.It's a disposable tool here.There's less east coast people on this board but I doubt there's less Subaru owners here. SOA is in New Jersey isn't it? So,what is the point of this post thread anyways?

west coast v. east coast
Rather than wizz back n' forth 'n get all messy.Sales numbers-I wanna see some sales numbers please.From 1968 through 2003 if possible. I'm going to bet the east is at least very close if not beyond the west in sales. People just don't keep cars as long here.Except one guy flying down PA I-78 at 90mph in a 1978 wagon.

Yes,it's true.I know I didn't discuss this with anyone at Carlisle but it's TIME. TIME to clean out for real-once and for all-and get down to just what I can really afford to store in our next home or storage. We did this last year and a week later things kind of changed so we decided to stay.I went all last year month-to-month(no lease),and this year I opted for no lease as well.Now the rent is even higher so the incentive is there to get out with some skin left on my bones. I'm certainly not relying on members to take everything I'll offer.Some stuff will be tossed,there's no stopping that.I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way.It's just a shame to toss so much stuff and I'd just like to see who can match up items to their needs/wants. Most of my stock is EA71,EA81,and EA82 era. Read carefully-I DO NOT have any:Turbo items,SVX parts,Justy parts,Legacy and newer parts to offer. Any suggestions on a date?I need to do this ASAP.Looking to possibly be out by the end of June. I WILL cook this time.You're on my turf so I have to feed you.It's an Italian thing.Wassamatta you?I'll do burgers 'n dogs ' venison. Yes,I really could use the help.Yes it sucks but it's for the best.House-important.Workshop-must take second place.

Sell my '78 wagon???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Just wanted brag.The car ran so well on the way home from Carlisle!Total trip mileage for my '78 was like around 600 miles or so.My wife followed me-or often tried to. My wife says "stop getting away from me(cell phone conversation)...I'm doing 80 and you're losing me.You're going to get a ticket....you know your luck with the cops."How does Clint say it? "nag,nag,nag". 25+ year old car. 1600 cc engine. Blasting by Volvo 850's! Kiss my formerly plated tailpiece you yuppie you stinkin' Volvo Bozo!!!!!

Carlisle after action review, and nex year's plans. Please Sticky!!!!
Yup,I deserve that. Forget the venison and they forget you too.LOL!!!! Great weekend.Really great mix of folks and Subarus. Let's see: a 360 van!!!! a '78 4WD wagon !!!!!! a lifted,this that and the other thing-Brat!!! a clean stock Brat lifted EA81 wagon lifted EA82 wagon-or two? SVX's a Baja one bitchin rally car-STi?? or was that ??? Forester XT XT6 and then some... Skip rules!!!! See,now aren't you glad you all went?We showed those Saab losers!!What a pathetic group they are.99% of the group had cars that have no technical or historic value.A waste of grass if you ask me. Thanks everybody!!!!!!

ALL EAST COASTERS! Carlisle, Pa meet 5/21-23. UPDATE!
I'm bringing a box with my camping cooking stuff.I do need some Coleman type fuel.I have some clean up stuff too,some paper plates-not a lot,and some plastic forks,etc,wax cups....that sort of stuff.But it's for my little family so I hope someone has some plates 'n stuff too. Cranked out like a muthuh tonight,all week actually,but tonight with WagonsOnly-Andrew.Car is looking and riding very well.Don't expect a restored '78,just a really good daily driver that's 25+ years old.I tossed some silver fenders on from a '79 just because they were better,but they aren't perfect either.Anyways,you get what you get. I'll try to check in before I leave Bridgeport around 3PM. See you Saturday AM unless somebody calls me or gives me directions to meet up Friday night-provided I'm up for it.

ALL EAST COASTERS! Carlisle, Pa meet 5/21-23. UPDATE!
4 dozen hamburger and 3 dozen dogs. I'm going to likely chump out on the lasagne and just bring some venison sausage,and whatever other venison I have. I'll try to make up for the lasagne by whipping something tasty up. I'll be eating with you guys Saturday all day.We'll say good bye to you all Saturday night as Sunday we hit Hershey Park and split from there. Since we'll be there early Saturday I'll make breakfast.We'll buy the eggs there.Probably do some homefries too.Coffee----there's a concession stand there but to have a machine pumping out the java would be ideal. BTW-Hershey is actually quite a deal compared to Sesame Place which is rip off major league.Haven't hit Dorsey yet but between Sesame and Hershey you can't pay me to go back to Sesame.Just my parental opinion.Besides,Sesame is another hour plus from Carlisle than Hershey. Gettin' psyched!!!!!!!

Mike,it's not ricer at all,really.I shouldn't make you think there won't be any but for sure they don't rule this show. You'll be amongst Porche,BMW,Mercedes,Peugeot,Volvo,and lots of English and Italian car owners,etc. See you there.Just so you know,if you have time etc.,Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster is great for a 3 year old.And only 20-30 minutes away or so. Aloha

Attn:SubieGal or someone who knows her
Thanks Eric,can't wait to shake your hand some day. She's still cool with me,even after the fire.If she wants it-the car that is-she can have it for same price. I'm getting very serious here.I'm going to off either my old Ducati,or one of my vintage guitars to cover transport. Cheers!

ngk bpr6es 11?
Just got my set from the dealer and the 11's were all gapped at .041 just the way I like it,right in the middle.They give me a discount so I don't go cheap.Works out the same. YES always double check. ><
-
should i buy this?
Yes Todd,I got it. Yeah,who's wagon is that?I'd rather have that but the 4door would work for say $100 or less.

how did you fab your carrier bearing mount?
Up here the rust is killing these mounting plates(in the flooring) Subaru used.If you're in the rust zone-I forgot to look-then use something that'll last and coat it with tar or something.

Anybody close to Hershey Park?Carlisle Sunday parking needed
Things are way up in the air right now.We might just take one car but I'm not really sure.Thanks for the offers guys.
-
Attn:SubieGal or someone who knows her
That's fine and understandable.If you would talk to me like an adult maybe we can even patch things up.I see you've settled down,or appear to have. Nothing in your emails said anything about not being able to email,etc. whether in a desert or your backyard.You didn't stay there when the racing was over did you? Otherwise,the car is for sale again but I am now working on raising the cash for transport.So,all this said and .....done?....if anyone is interested let me know ASAP as I won't be concentrating on this as a seller.I will now begin the fundraising for transport so interupt me soon please if you truely desire this car. Jamie,good luck.See above post about "no animosity...."
