An XT equipped pretty much the way I would have done it myself for $200 under invoice (anybody get a better deal than that?). Now throw in 0% interest for 24 months and I’d be losing money by not buying it right? Oh the temptation! Meanwhile I’m wondering if I hold out for the 05s (which should be coming out late spring/early summer), whether SOA will wise up and include the PP with the manual tranny. I’m also wondering if the 05 XTs will have more relaxed gearing and therefore better gas mileage (but a worse 0-60 number) and whether that’s a good or bad thing? I think I’m going to have to join Loosh in the chamber of impossible conundrums! (So what's a good wine for that?) ;-)

She has had a horrible year.
Patti will update when I get back.

San Antonio is about 4 hours from where I'll be, but I've been known to do the drive and back in a single day .. I love San Antonio for lots of reasons ...
And Austin and San Antonio are about an hour apart .... hmmm ... I could go for food in San Antonio .... lol
Heck, just leave the gearing as is but give it the 6sp MT. 8-)
That is one beauty about the WRX and XT, you can get them at least near invoice, below if you're lucky. The new Legacy will likely garner closer to sticker at least early on, maybe through the remainder of '04 if it's as much of a hit as we're all thinking it'll be.
My dw has decided (finally!) to quit her social work job and be an at-home mom. She'll continue selling her Tastefully Simple stuff and plans on growing that more, but is really looking forward to spending more time with our kids. So, I'll likely continue in a holding pattern until maybe March or so, just to make sure she's all settled into her new journey. That java black XT MT will be waiting for me...

Kate- oh they built it all right. It's called Yellowtail. :-D

next letter E for sedan / H for wagon;
6 = 2500cc engine AWD;
next digit is the model (2 thru 8);

Check digit;
Y = 2000 model year.
Probably more than you ever wanted to know about your Subie (Legacy/OB) vin number.
Loosh - some time back, you mentioned on this board "chowhound.com". Since I travel to San Antonio regularly, I checked their Texas thread. You will be about one hour away from Black's BBQ in Lockhart (www.blacksbbq.com). "BBQ so good, you don't need sauce!" Their brisket is fantastic. A co-worker of mine is a San Antonio native whose father said there's nothing within the city limits that compares. Have a great trip.

Great, now he'll need therapy. Where's Ross?
You know what else is funny? None of the Crew regulars owns an STi. C'mon, someone's gotta bite!

Jim- Thanks for the education on the VIN. Now if only I can remember this stuff:-)
Hey Mike- change the 48hrs run to the following weekend, and route us through Detroit. We can make it into a big meet at the show. Imagine having 15 or so Subarus showing up outside in time for the launch of the new Subies.

I have the Miata! AAAAACK! :oO

The drive along I-95 is (edit:) not very flattering, but the Pine Barrens and lakes in the area are fun, plus it's close to many major metropolitan areas (NY, DC, Philly, etc.)

Insurance: definitely one of the areas I will investigate. I'll call my insurance and see how much damage I can expect to my rates if my family moves.
*urgh* (eyes roll back in head Frodo style)
I can wait until January 7th to decide. I think.

I've just spent some time here on Edmunds researching used car prices so that we don't get taken to the cleaners by the local dealers. Should we expect to pay closer to Edmunds private party price or the dealer msrp??? Or should the price be lower? Any particular things to look out for? Of course, the 2 recent snow storms don't help our bargaining position!
Thanks,
Lyn
Tell the hubby that Subaru's biggest shareholder is GM, and that the Legacy, Outback, and Baja are made right here in the USA, by Hoosiers. Compare that to, say, Dodge Intrepid, which is made in Canada for a German owned company.
Check out a used Legacy or Outback with just under 60k miles, if you can, so you have a little warranty left over.

Will try make the chat tonight, but as if I did not have enough trouble typing, my daughters keyboard has korean symbols so I may be just areader tonight :-)
Cheers Pat.
Insurance rates very widely, so call around a lot for comparison.
swamplands - A lot of flooding in Wayne the past couple of weeks, huh? :-(
If I'm rambling too much, it's because I just had my department holiday lunch at http://www.churrascariaplataforma.com
We sampled a couple of CA wines :-) (the old standby Berringer (merlot) and a Napa Chardonnay).
Missed out on the Brasilian drink, caipirinha. Maybe next time. :-D :-D

We should form a Jersey owners' club. Maybe we can meet once a month at Paisan's garage.

I have to admit that as a sixth generation Texan I had some difficulty believing I'd like living anywhere else (we Texas are a bit state proud!), but I have to say I LOVE it here ... I miss my Texas family, but I do honestly love it here ...
let me know when you're headed this way, if you'd like to meet up I'll get you an email to use ..
Staten Island ;-)

Dennis: that's the real-deal Churrasco! Love that place.

2 c. sugar, 2 tbsp. cocoa, 1 stick margarine, 1/2 c. evaporated milk, 1/2 c. peanut butter, 1 tsp. vanilla, 2 1/2 cups oatmeal (although you can use the quick oats, I prefer the old-fashioned oats in these cookies)
Mix sugar, cocoa, margarine, and milk together and boil 2 minutes. Add the other ingredients. I drop these by spoonfuls onto a foil-lined cookie sheet. We're lucky if they cool off before they're all gone ...
2 egg whites, 2/3 c. sugar, 1 pinch salt, 1 c. chopped pecans, 1 c. chocolate chips
Beat egg whites until think and foamy and gradually add sugar and beat until stiff (like making meringue). Stir in salt, pecans, and chocolate chips. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop the cookies on foil-lined cookie sheet in small peaked chunks. Place in the oven, TURN IT OFF, and leave the cookies overnight. Makes about 2 dozen.
ENJOY!!
Churrasco! - the best place to eat for those on the Atkins diet!
Jim
With as many Crew members as we have in the area, a regular NJ meeting would definitely be in order.
Happy Holidays all!!

email to use would be ladywclass@comcast.net ..
