Gotta find out who it is!
Ken
Already have gotten rave reviews on the color combination.
It handles very well and is extremely comfortable. It should be even more comfortable once deplumpification is in full effect.
That car is just itching to go on a long distance drive, I know it. I could hear it telling me to take to the open road. But where to go? Visit the Maine-iacs in Bar Harbor? Or head South for some deep fat fried turkey? Decisions... Decisions...
The dealership was outstanding. They were professional and courteous. Everything was as promised. Wayne Subaru.

Lou, Congrats on the new ride. Sounds great.
Now, if SOA would only get that new turbo Legacy wagon into the dealerships I could become an official "owner" instead of a wanna be. LOL!
-Ian
Hope the owner doesn't mind my nose prints and drool all over the glass. ;-)
Ken
They can and in my case will smack the side of the car with said toolbox and cause an effin ding in the door.
This happened when cleaning up the damaged oil line so a typical end to an all round lousy weekend.
Cheers Pat.
Ugh Pat, your luck is due for a turn around. Hang in there.
That Outback looks real nice. I see some fender flares, nice and round and not overdone, plus a little cladding front and rear, with the cladding line being lower on the sides than before. The big fogs are still there.
No raised roof - I had thought it might get one to distinguish from the regular Legacys. Camo on the tail lights is obvious, so those are probably same as Legacy.
Without the hood scoop it's almost more mild than the Legacy is, which is a reversal.
Now, do a Baja like that, it would look great.

The visibility is freaking awesome! The fog lights are incredible. Yeah, I took it out for a night spin. The handling is great.
Did I mention the driving position rocks?
I think I have to plan a road trip...

Jan 2000->April 2002 on my '88 XT6 I put 45K miles and it was laid up for 6 months due to the air suspension problems
April 2002-> Aug 2002 on my '91 XT6 I put on 15K miles
June 2000-> June 2003 on my '00 Trooper I put on 55K miles
Sep 2002->June 2003 on the '92 SVX I put on 19K miles.
On average I drive 35-50K miles a year and the funniest part is that I take public transportation to work!!!!

Emily has been fighting Lyme Disease, and we were in for a checkup and more blood work. Seems the in-house lab came up with very bad news from a CBC test as we were preparing to leave. All counts have plumeted to dangerously low levels. "Could be due to a lot of things, but she is potentially very ill", said the Dr.
I don't buy it, as Em is the very picture of a bouncy 7 yr old, but Beth has a good cry. "Yes, they ran it twice, same bad results". 18 hrs of panic, scary reading on WEBMD.com, etc, then comes the answer from an independent lab - everything is normal - the automated tester is wacked, way out of calibration!!!!
So Em is fine, mom & dad are recovering from their stress induced heart attacks.

....same thing happened to me when I first moved down to Florida...I had been coughing heavily for a few weeks, so I went to a doctor recommended by a friend. They did some blood work, gave me an antibiotic and sent me home. A few days later, I got a call from the nurse suggesting I make an appointment with a specialist. I looked up his name in the provider directory...he was a Hematology Oncolologist ! Man, was I scared s***less. A day later, I got a call from the nurse that the results had been mixed up with someone else's. Needless to say, I never went back to that doctor.
Glad to hear that it was "all just a mistake", for all that you guys were going nuts for that period of time. Labs are just rushing evrything nowadays; that is why so many people go for 2 or 3 tests when told something is wrong.

I work for a company that does a lot of equipment calibration and validation for big pharma, device and diagnostics companies, among other services. Oftentimes our folks don't see the direct impact of their work; they often feel like they're just punching the clock. I'd like to share your message with them as a reminder of the importance of their jobs.
Ed
I'm glad for you and the family that all is well.
Ed-
Importance of their job...
you could device an exercise to do test(s) on themselves, then botch their results and scare the ibby jibbies out of them. Nothing like first hand experience.
-Dave
Pass the message on to your co-workers, Ed!!
Steve
I'm really glad everything turned out well. What a scare that must have been.
Coming from a test and measurement company, we sometimes laugh at how our customers immediately doubt our equipment when a test fails (it couldn't be their part), but in some cases the customer knows better. :-)
Ken
Lou - visibility is good, in fact I have trouble adapting to just about any other vehicle. The Miata is terrible with the top up. Sedans and coupes cannot even compare.
Wow, Steve, good thing that was a false alarm. That company should calibrate their equipment ASAP! Give them Ed's number! LOL
-juice
PS Miata is done, looks schweet, Lucky (our Legacy) will get the full treatment next week.

On the bright side, not only is everything OK, but the adrenaline rush probably cleared out any plaque clogging those arteries.
That's not taking into account the surge from Forester Turbo sales, and the folks who will buy an X or XS based on the interest the Turbo generates.
Also, once again the Forester is the top rated vehicle in its category as reported by CU, it has quadruple 5 Star Safety ratings by the NHTSA, and "best pick" by the IIHS. Safety and reliability sell.

Glad everything is better now.

Cheers Pat.
If I wash one it's usually just rain. Two, heavy rain. Three, plus wax on all? T-storms baby!
I should call the meteorologists every time I break out the hose.

We went yesterday to b/f's parents' business and made caramel corn all day. We actually got home about 8:20, but I forgot it was THURSDAY!!!
oh well ..
next week ...
Steve: So glad that you're little girl is okay! So sorry that you and your wife were frightened unnecessarily. Perhaps you should bill that lab for the cost of having those new grey hairs colored...and throw in a massage, too. :-)
Steve

Now the important thing here is to provide the recipe and analyse the quality of the caramel corn, Brenda. We do popcorn straight out of the popper for the kids but have never got the caramel bit correct. How do you do it?
Cheers
Graham
his parents run a popcorn stand at a "small" amusement park .. so they make it in this big copper kettle over gas jets and stir it with a boat oar ... about 25-30 bags per batch ...
I just ran the popcorn popper .. albeit a LARGE one .. lol
I used to make caramel corn at home, though. I'll have to dig through and see if I can find that recipe ... it's good .. it's just not as good as what Jack makes at the park ..
Brenda (who ate more than her share while it was warm ...)
We have a household ritual here through the summer. Each day the kids come home from school at 3:30pm and fall into the pool for an hour or so. When done they climb out, take a long bath and when Judy hears the water running out she puts on a batch of pop corn. That produces a big bowl full that is consumed whilst watching cartoons on TV or playing a computer game.
It seems to be a highly desirable way to spend your evening during summer
Cheers
Graham
-Dave
you guys sounds like great dads .. happy father's day to all of ya!
Bob
Here in the US, there are popcorn packages that come with a caramel sauce. Simply pop the popcorn in the microwave, open the bag, add sauce, shake and voila -- caramel corn.
I would think a homemade version would involve getting a melted caramel sauce thin enough to coat the popcorn.
Ken
OK, it's just too painful to suffer XT envy like this, I'm heading over to test drive one tomorrow first thing.

I'd have a hard time explaining to my wife why her 10 month old XS needs to be upgraded...

2) Cards, balloons, handmade gifts from Emily, a hammock for back yard relaxing, and a 'Best Dad' t-shirt to wear for the day.
3) Loaded the bikes onto the OBW and headed to the Vanderbelt Mansion in Hyde Park, NY for riding around the grounds, a stroll thru the gardens and their annual 'ice cream social'.
4) Dinner at Bugaboo Creek restaurant.
A great time was had by all.... And no rain for a change! 75'F and blue sky!!!
