Do yourself a favor and drive/price a base GT wagon before you go whole hog on the 2.5i. If it reinforces your decision to get the 2.5i, then good! If not, then maybe you will keep from having regrets later on!

Just kidding. I stay active with the kids, do lots of work around the house, take them biking or on a walk daily. Stuff like that. Walk the dog. I'm pretty hyper-active; my wife is the laid back one.
Once my daughter is old enough I think I might coach her soccer team (if she even plays).
My right knee was hyper-extended once playing soccer. It healed but ever since then I strain it easily. I don't want to tear my ACL so generally I try not to push it too hard.
Any how, what does that have to do with driving? Well, I'm generally OK on a 40-60 minute commute each way, and around town, but the road trips can make it a bit sore. And we do a *lot* of road trips.
I'll be 36 in October, aren't you a little bit younger? I thought you were 31 or so.

I'm 34 now, 35 in March
I should exercise the knee more. Not using it due to fear of injury will probably make it worse!

My wife is a bit of a couch potato. That slows me down. Lame excuse, but still.

Sports that twist and pound the knee are on the "no-no" list, things like soccer, tennis, and aggressive downhill skiing. Activities to take up include biking and swimming.
You can help prevent ACL tears through strong quad muscles.

To be honest I tend to do whatever the kids are doing.
Maybe I shouldn't coach that soccer team? Hmm. I'll cross that bridge when the time comes.

I believe her firm has a number of cases ongoing. Last years layoffs they moved a family down to NC, then laid the guy off his forst day down there. Not too nice.
She has gone to HR to ask for a package, but again everything depends upon the manager. We'll find out this week- they are supposed to be laying off another 400 people. I told her to try & switch if someone else gets layed off.
In the mean time, I'm going to try and do the test drive tonight. I figure the $25 will come in handy- buy 6 round trips on the city bus for her:-).

Dave - how'd that interview go? With the dealer? Hoping for some good news.
-juice
So far, "No Picture No Sound".
Not exactly holding my breathe.
Apparently there were loads of applicants.
Also dropped off a resume with SoA through their web... "No Picture No Sound" there either.
Actually, I haven't been getting any response or acknowledgement to the resumes that were sent out.
-Dave
I remember when I finished grad school I must have sent 100 resumes, and got 7 calls. Those widdled down to 2 job offers.
Let me know if you need a personal reference.
This is funny - my best man applied for a job in sales, cardboard, something like that. His (future) employer called me and sure enough, he got an offer that same day.
I must've said something right!

Put it this way, if I wrote a book I'd have to change names to protect the guilty!

first of all in my 20th year of teaching I am finishing up a license in severe disabilities. This is the 5th year that I have worked in this job (teaching students with mild/moderate/severe disabilities) and I have to do a 'practicum' (student teaching in my own classroom). The state will allow the university to waive this requirement with 3 successful years of work, but IU won't waive the requirement. (Guess they like getting the $640 it cost me for the class.)
I am also beginning tutoring at the Learning Center for Children. This is a charity of the Masons. Across the country they are building centers for dyslexic children and those with reading disabilities to learn to read. They train the tutors, pay for all the materials, pay the tutors a small stipend, and do not charge the parents a penny. Soooo that takes up 2 nights a week.
I also teach in the districts 'reading clinic' 2 afternoons a week. That pays a little better, but they also charge the parents .. lol
Besides that I have 2 private tutoring students that I am continuing with since last year.
Add in that I have 5 program assistants (paraprofessionals) at school for whom I am the direct supervisor, and making sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed for our special education students ... and life is a bit ... hectic.
B/f told me last week to figure out when I can go in a little late one morning so we can go get a marriage license .... let's see ... maybe ... um .... june?
hah!
see ya when I see ya !

You are one busy Lady, who obviously believes in helping others. Good Luck!

I caught it the other day while flipping through channels. The commercial features both the Forester and OB models. I liked it better than some of the other recent ads Subaru has been running.

I'm on my lunch here at Bosse High School. I'm counting down two more days till my new Legacy Ltd. Friday night will be pickup in St. Louis. Nothing like a road trip as my first drive in the new car.

Guess I'll have to think up a new handle.

Come back soon!

Just teasing, re-join when you can. Sounds like you're contributing plenty to your community, and we're proud of you.
For a while there I thought you were going to say you sprained your wrist carrying the weight of that huge ROCK on the ring he gave you. ;-)
Bruce: you gotta name the car first. Once you figure that out, the new handle should come naturally.

Thanks for the offer
I'm so soooo tempted to say yes; however, I'll probably end up not feeling comfortable.
-Dave
I'm sure Patti will be honest about it. Who else, besides the people you know, are gonna vouch for you?
I say go for it, no guilt necessary.
Just my opinion.
-juice
In other words, list our group as a reference, talk about your long term membership, friendship, participation, enthusiasm.
Hey, this grass roots stuff should matter to the dealer. You deserve the job more for this exact reason.
-juice
Cheers Pat.

I was tempted to take out a Forester XT while I was there, but managed to resist. Mine has less than 23,000 miles, so there is no reason to get something else now. (I'll keep repeating that to myself until the new car smell is out of my head.)
I don't know if I would be able to adjust to a sedan, actually. I have owned some kind of hatchback since 1981, and a trunk, especially one that doesn't even expand by folding down the rear seat back, seems so much less practical. Not that I need to haul a lot of big stuff - our other vehicle is an F150. I suppose I could adjust to a sedan, but I'm more likely to get another Forester than a Legacy. Some day. Not now.

how much money are they going to throw at a situation like that? I'm sure they don't consider it an outage either, it's an annoyance.
btw here's how you deal with the annoyance: leave your browser window open. if you need another browser window, open one, but keep edmunds page loaded and after reading all your subscriptions just minimize it. later when you come back, hit read subscriptions and viola! it works. surely your session with the webcluster has timed out by then, so you're actually re-authenticating... but it works and coming in from a new browser session does not.
I'd have this fixed in no time with a file watching utility and a sniffer... problem is easily duplicated and the method I describe above works great so comparing what's happening differently between the two should be a breeze.

I do realize that Edmunds isn't an e-commerce site (unless you count the InfoPaks you can buy ;-). But, regardless of the type of site, all sites are there to generate traffic. Whether it's to get sales or forum posts. And this site is open 24x7 as well. Tell me that this authentication issue is not affecting forum posts.
I guess my thing with this is there's been a lot of futzing with the site for quite a while now. Just when you think it's all fixed, they change something. BTW, Sylvia says this latest snafu was a top level security change, not just affecting the TH. Took 'em 4 or 5 days just to put up a red disclaimer about the issue.

Steve
Let's not complain too much, a few sites now charge membership, and Edmunds is still free! Plus it makes it harder for trolls, only the determined folks come in. I'm fine with it.

The article introduced me to the adjective "Subaresque."
