987687 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm not new here... but figured this is the best place to post. I'll be moving down to the Beaufort area for at least a month, hopefully find a job when I'm done with the work I'm headed down to do. Then I can stay longer, sick of ME... If anyone is from that area, hello! It'd be cool to move down and already have some friends I'll be leaving my 89GL in Maine and just taking my 98 GT, which is sad. So hopefully someone has a rusty broken old subaru I can wrench on so I don't forget how :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eg9 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I'm not in the Beaufort area but it's a nice area, you'll like it. Hope everything works out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Looked up how far away your town is... wow. I guess I didn't really realize how wide NC is, kinda like driving from southern maine to northern maine. It's like a 10 hour drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eg9 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Na Beaufort is maybe a 4hr drive from here. Mainly cause it's backroads(2 lane roads) most of the way and not highway. 10hr drive from Maine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman18 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It's a long drive. But not too bad. I have done it a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisbad Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 i'm in florence sc. not too far from Beaufort. there aren't many Subaru's around here. they're actually kind of rare. you have to head north to the mountains in nc to see alot of them. i see maybe 5 or 6 here locally in florence. there's a few in darlington. hopefully they'll be a few more in beaufort. it's darn near impossible to get junk yard parts , and none of the part stores carry Subaru parts,they have to order about everything from the "warehouse" or get it from another store.......it's complicated sometimes. curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 I guess nobody needs AWD, if I lived there full time I'd probably drive a honda civic econobox too... Just hope my engine doesn't blow while I'm down there. I'll bring my box of spare bits and pieces that might be hard/expensive to find, but for the most part, my legacy shouldn't have any trouble.

987687 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 if you don't mind my asking what line of work are you in? curtis Mostly marine electronics, that's what I'm headed down to do. I have a monthish long contract to do this guy's boat, then hopefully find more work with other people in the yard, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
