I've got 3

 

The legendary "Cheese Wedge" FWD MT5 '89 XT-6, runs like a champ

 

The lifted '87 D/R wagon with LSD, best $200 I've ever spent... runs awsome

 

Newest is the '88 Rx FT4wd D/R LSD runs like a french tank, sounds like an old man...

 

3 for 3:banana:

If I hadn't just picked up a turbo coupe, my situation would be a little better. I have two runners, the turbo wagon and the stock hatch. The lifted hatch and the t-coupe are non-runners. The only one that drives at the moment is the hatch since the wagon developed a MASSIVE exhaust leak right before the turbo... But that will get fixed and then I'll update my post.

1985 Brat

 

Non Subaru Cars

Needless to say I have an addictive personality. VW's are my Heroin, Subarus are my Crack, and Harley's are my Alcohol.

 

Being a big fan of the flat 4 design Subaru beats VW in my opinion. More reliable and more power than the vw design.
