Obviously isn't the one you saw, but you could buy this one that I found on CL!

How do they do this stuff, you should have your wife punch them in the face! thats what I woulda done if it happend to me.
I don't punch, I use really strong words and legal jargon *_*

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped in any way with #8. This was only my second show and I had a great time! I must say I think you all did a terrific job. And to all the sponsors, thanks for sponsoring, without sponsors, things aren't as cool! I enjoyed it a lot and I can't wait for next year! Bring on that mud!!!

Well you got a better deal than us! 1990 LS AWD 5 spd with 262k and I paid 1850 for it from a dealer... grawr! But congrats, it's a nice feeling taking a new soob home

The one thing I was told was to stay away from Fram. So, I do. We get the next brand up, typically. Just my $.02

Andrew (hondasucks) says the clutch needs to be adjusted... it just is really weird driving it. You have to let the clutch WAY out before it will go... quite the process.

We just purchased this 1990 Legacy today! The guy says it's a LSi, but it's badges are taken off, it doesn't have height control, no leather, no electronic climate control, etc. We are pretty sure it's an LS... any comments on that? It's got 262k on it, runs like a champ! It needs an axle and a tune up, oil change, and probably a clutch pretty soon... drives kinda funny. We'll bring it up to WCSS8 for those who want to see

My favorite part was at the mall when we kinda crowded around that guy and made him move. hee hee.
I thought that was the greatest - the poor guy, he must have been so overwhelmed....
Although, my favorite part was when Laura (maximumBRAT) & I played in the gravel! We showed Russ how it was done... hahahahahaha

Bye bye sweet wagon

I have always been a fan of cars. Never really Subies until I met Andrew (THANKS!!!) The honest to God truth - My brother borrowed Andrew's car from Russell one day, and I fell in love with the car before I even KNEW Andrew. So it was fate!
Now, we fight to see who can see the Subies first, whoever yells parts usually is the winner. Me, I usually say SUBIE!!!! Whoever was talking about giving your woman her first car. Andrew did it, and I have driven it like twice... But I won't get rid of it. It's the same year I was born, and it's the best little car around!

You can make it sound extra throaty by cutting the bottom of the airbox out. Andrew did that to his Turbowagon and it made it sound nice. All you do is take a sawzall, or a dremel with a cut off wheel or something and cut the bottom of the airbox off, leaving the lip that the air filter sits on.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Subaru's! I would take the wrx over the mustang too!!!

That's nice, too bad it's a dog-o-matic
-
(this is Andrew)
I actually have heard that about 20W-50 as well, but I've heard for some reason it's not as bad??? I dunno.. I was also told that if you change your oil every 3000 it is not really that much of an issue.
-
And gone are the days when cars had like six wires going to the engine, and only a few problems would make the car not run at all, and the home mechanic can maintain his brand new car with only a small set of tools.. I've never been a huge fan of fuel injection, but it is more efficient than a carburetor (Although I like the original Bosch CIS because it is efficient AND simple..)
Whoops.. Just realized Jessica forgot to log out, so this is Andrew talking lol

Very nice looking, Jeff
I would be more than happy to post some somewhere down here and around Albany and the nearby piddly towns if needed. Let me know

Jon, I still think you need to paint it red... IMO I thought it looked funny cuz it's black... *shrugs*

Hey Zap,
Did you get the money order that was from Andrew? I sent it off a couple days ago, should be there sometime soon... Let me know

I know it's far away, but here in Corvallis at B&R, there's two xt's. One is white and one is light blue, if this helps any. They didn't look too mangled from the parts I saw, I might have missed something though... Ask Caboobaru or Hondasucks, they prolly inspected more than I did.

50+ cars would rock on I5, Can you imagine a huge caravan going and passing all these cars? That would be killer... :cool:
-
Is that thing street legal??! That is really cool looking... I can just imagine the different looks you might get from some people...

Congrats on making it home
About this movie.... I want! 
Sounds like you had a heck of a time, I'm eager to hear more about your trip!!! -
If you part it out, how much do you want for the air ride suspension and the 5 lug?
Hope you find another one that will serve ya faithfully without being wrecked -
Oh for me? You shouldn't have!
That's a pretty sweet looking vehicle...

I'm okay with using it as a parts car because I have a Turbo Legacy waiting in the wings (once we get the downpipe and a couple of other misc. parts.) So, I'm not terribly attached to the car. I told the guy that I had a leaky trunk anyhow and was planning to fix it anyway, and he just laughed.
He wasn't a jerk, so no one should really be talking bad about him. He did try his best to miss me which is why the damage is isolated to the left side of the car only.
