Colors. what have you owned? What's common?

Featured Replies

One of the last posts in the "you might be a soob owner" post got me off on a little bit of a tangent. Rather than hijacking that thread, I'll just start a new one here.

 

It started with a comment that Colorado has a lot of light blue EA82 wagons.

 

Well, that got me thinking. Who here HASN'T owned a light blue EA81 or EA82? It seems to me to be one of the most common colors Subaru made.

 

So... if there is anyone who hasn't owned a car of this color, let's see it in big bold annoying letters.

 

Also, I'm just curious to see what all colors people have owned, to see what is the most common. Oh, and if it was repainted a non-soob color before you got it, that doesn't count. EA71's count, if they were in an EA81 body. basically, looking for colors that Subaru produced between '80 and '89...

 

I have owned:

 

'82 DL wagon 2WD (burgundy)

'82 GL wagon 2WD (light blue)

'87 GL sedan 4WD N/A (light blue)

'84 GL wagon 4WD N/A (beige/cream)

'84 GL sedan 4WD N/A (black)

'83 GL sedan 2WD (silver, I think... bought it from edrach, maybe he remembers)

'87.5 XT 2WD N/A (graphite)

 

Whatcha got?
