3 eyed: you are exactly right. The Montana HP trialed a couple of HO Mustangs,very effective chasing people down,but really sucked if one had to transport a criminal,in Montana you often can't wait for a paddy wagon to show up.In the larger towns of Montana a fast car doesn't mean better results,you don't need a car with turbo,I have yet to see a turbo based car that could outrun a police radio....

Walter: don't create anxiety over working on your own car. Assess what you have for tools,basic wrenches and ratches will get the job done.A floor jack and jack stands would be really nice to prop the front of the car up and allow extra space for sliding under at least for your first time.At some point you're gonna have to go under,differentiate between the engine and tranny and loosen the tranny pan drain bolt.If you happen to loosen the wrong one it's not the end of the world,you can replace whatever fluid you happen to drain. My biggest suggeston at this time would be to get yourself a Haynes or Chiltons repair manual and identify what's where.

When i bought the car it had some goodyear somethings on it,very noisy but aggressive.We now have BF goodrich insignias that are wore down to the stops(60K) and this car is reacting to them in a bad way. I do need something that will grip but not be noisey.we make frequent trips to Arizona in the Jeep and the Toyos seem to perform.wondering if anybody has any experience with Toyos on their Subarus? Would be nice to take the Subaru once in awhile for the MPG

Hey all,been awhile- its time to retread the Legacy wagon and am wanting some opinions on whats best.Cost is not so much the factor compared to having a good set of all weather tires,but as the Leg has become our second vehicle don't want to spend so much. Have been looking at Toyo and Goodyear and snuck into WalMart to see what they have to offer,not to good of a selection compared to locals and TireRack.Don't need anything to agressive and enjoy a quiet ride. What's your thoughts and experiences?
