Yeah,

The car is just about done...

It is harder now to finish it, now that It is

being used every day..... Spent much of my time

working on the car(subie loyal 1991) from February

to end of June......... As some of you have been involved

in the thinking proccess by answering my questions.... and

it has been much appreciated......

There at the end I though I was gonna lose it......!!!!!!

First time starting up the car and it wuz blowing more smoke

that an opium room from the 1st dynasty................

But all is well.... It is so well!!!!!

Begginnning of July I rolled "trixie" off the Jack Stands and

drove her from New York to Texas and back in six days round trip....

Covered 14 states in 6 days.... about 3000 miles..... the shocker

here is that (160K).. on this pup.... It used only 3/4 of a quart of

oil........ and it leaked a little out the oil fill tube where it joins the

head(wasn't tightend enough)..... fixed that in virginia...

Yeah, I was obsessively checking the oil and checking for leaks

the whole ride............. the wife was getting tired of it! she was like

don't worry about it.... it is ok..................................

Hey, I finally have a subie that I can change the oil in..........

I don't just add it!!!!!................ she is running like a new car......

Yeah, so back to the name thing.........................

the wife and family saw very little of me those months working on

the car........ She would always make remarks(joking) you are gonning

to go down and spend time with that other woman(referring to the car).

So while on the journey to texas..... the brought it up again........

I said, well if your gonna refer to her as "that other woman" then she

should a least have a name............ So I thought to myself............

what would be a good name.... that is when it came to me......

to go with the (circa burlesque 1920's-1930's) name............

there the name popped into my head..... Trixie!.............

So my Subie has a first name!!!!!!!

I'll post some pics of trixie after I get her buffed out and put her

trim back on.........

 

anyway,

thanks for all the help and insight......

They are indeed Trixie little cars.

 

I call mine the poopenwagen for obviouse reasons. I would capitalize the name but it is not worthy of being classified as a proper noun.

nice name:) . my car is called suben, short name for subaru.

That is cool!

Yeah, I hope I can have this one for a little while.......

Dumped a ton of cash into it..........

rides and feels like new.... workin' on the smell part.......

smells better than the other old subie I was runningg...

that one between the leaking window and the rotten

flesh from the meat shop on my feet.... uhhhhhhh!

pics soon!

trixie, nice.
