I'm the wife of a Subie Obsessed member of this message board, mr_whirly. We currently own 4 subarus (88 Turbo, 89 Touring, 86 RX & 84 Hatch) I too have become addicted since I started driving them. We just recently purchased the 86 RX and the 84 Hatch. I previously owned a Honda and I sold it so I could purchase the Hatch. I love the retro look of our 80's cars. I find myself spending more and more time on this board just reading. But I also have found a lot of great info on here. Sometimes its just entertaining. We are going to the Carlisle show in May. I am looking forward to meeting some of the board members and seeing the Subarus from the 70's.
We spend a lot of time working on our "fleet" and going to local U-pull-it junk yards looking for miscellaneous parts. It is something we enjoy doing together. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon, walking through a junk yard and finding a new hi rise or a great set of seats that no one has discovered yet. I hate car payments & high car insurance bills so if you know how to turn a wrench it's a great hobby and can save you money. Besides they are awesome cars.
Welcome and I hope you find it as entertaining as I do!
