Mdarius Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi! I used to be on this site a little, but I can't remember my old username or the email address I registered with, sooo...I'm back with a new login. The problem with Subaru's is that if all you do is drive them, they don't typically present enough problems to warrant spending a lot of time on a site like this. I love to contribute where and when I can. I have owned 4 Subarus, 3 of them back to back since 2003. >My first was a '91 Justy 4 door. It fought a valiant fight, but after 3 major accidents it gave up...or rather, I gave up. (T-boned on the passenger side, sandwiched at a stoplight, and finally rear-ended a parked Bronco at 25 MPH) >Next came a '93 Legacy sedan, front wheel drive. It was a great commuter. I got pulled over, running late to get to work and when I looked at the speedo it was coming down past 130! I sold him at 190K miles for $500 to a college student who still drives it today, 5 years later. > It was immediately replaced by a '98 Forester. Not my favorite Subaru product. It was taken out by an F350 at a stop light. I was turning left and the other driver t-boned me at the A-pillar going 50 MPH, only 10' of braking. I was able to back the Forester off the road even with the front wheel folded under. No injuries, but the Suby was totalled and I got more for it than it would have sold for prior to the accident. A testament to safety and reliability! > I replaced the toad with an off-lease 2005 Legacy Wagon. It's been a great car and perfect for how we use it! On a personal note, I have 4 kids, they have 3 snakes, a crested gecko, and an American Akita. I also own a '95 Land Cruiser which is more of a hobby and a 1984 Land Cruiser which is more of a project. I'm married to Superwoman and I love the outdoors. I am a Supply Chain Project Manager, and a Six Sigma/Lean geek. The most stable things in my life are my job, my Subaru, and my Wife...not necessarily in that order. I look forward to the forum!

92_rugby_subie Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Welcome back! +1 Seems like youve had an interesting Scoobie past! Hopefully the 2005 keeps going for many years. I love the looks of the 2005s... Mainly a 2005 LGT but hey, its a start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the looks of the 2005s... Mainly a 2005 LGT but hey, its a start! I have a lead foot and little self control. I tried the turbo and let wisdom overcome folly. This is also why I have old Land Cruisers with tractor engines instead of a V8. We must know our limits, mine is under 130 Horse Power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
