I need more snow! Ugh.

Yesterday I met the wife at the Subaru dealership at lunch, to look over the repair list the service department came up with for our '99 Outback. I knew we had a couple oil leaks and that the valve cover gaskets needed replaced, and that the timing set was 80k miles overdue.... but they found things I did not know about.


So...came home with this












2015, had 10 miles on it. Had just come off the transport that morning. Still had the plastic sheets covering the wheels and the key fob was not pared with the car!

Has a pretty peppy 2.0l 4 banger, but it has turbo, and is surprisingly zippy. The stealership didn't want to give me much of anything for the '99, so I brought that home to sell on CL. Either that or just drive it into the ground.

The Outback is/was my DD, but somehow the new car went to the wife?!?!?!

Here's some snow without the EX. We got 6" of partly cloudy this evening after these were taken. Weather guessers have had a hard time of it lately, we get 3 when they call for 10 and 6 when they call for 1.


I picked this machine up on CL a few years ago for $500 which I thought was a decent deal, works great as long as you don't try to throw snow into the wind! That Kubota deal on the last page was a steal!!!!

We had some decent weather here so I took the X to the car wash for a good cleaning. I left my husky's on the mat clamps, drove home and noticed. Drove straight back to the car wash, but they were gone.




I need a new set of fronts now. Somebody hooka brotha up.

Looks really nice Ben! So if she got the new car, what are you driving?

We had one of those when I was a kid 100 years ago. Best machine we ever had! Wish we wouldn't have gotten rid of it. It was replaced with a toro (which the bigger ones are good) but we got a "cheaper" stamped steel "frame" one which has been nothing but grief.

Ok, dammit, I have the same color combo and I like the looks of this. Anyone have an extra set of wheels??
