Look for a wrecked body with a good engine.

Then use the hydrogen for the fuel cell, independent motors at each of the 4 wheels for symmetrical AWD of course.
The exhaust is warm water, so it would store that until I got home, then I could pour that into a reservoir hooked up to my water heater.
Carbon dioxide exhaled from the passengers would be gathered and then released directly into my vegetable garden where my award-winning tomatoes would break state records at the county fair.
How's that? :-)

Welcome, Nathan. Other than a few Edmundsian quirks you've found the best Subaru group on the web.
Cheers Pat.

we were on spring break and took a ROAD TRIP!
we left on Friday, April 2 shortly after noon - drove from South Bend to Indy, and through Terre Haute to Ill ... through Illinois, Missouri, the corner of Tennessee, a bit of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana to get to Fort Polk on Saturday night to see my daughter and her family who were in Hawaii the last 3 years ...
(Hint: if you go to Leesville to see someone in Fort Polk, do NOT expect to find a decent hotel/motel room there, drive about an hour away to Nachitoches or Alexandria to find a place to stay!)
We were there a couple nights, then on to Texas with a quick stop to see my brother (who is NOT the person I was raised with ) ... on to visit my parents, then to see another daughter and her family near Houston .. friends .. and even an overnight in Galveston at the hotel at Moody Gardens which is gorgeous ... shopped at the boutique there which is run by a friend of the friends we were with ... lol
we ate lots of good seafood (which we don't have here!), some good Mexican meals, steaks and barbecue ...
short visit with b/f's sisters in east Texas and left Texarkana on Saturday morning - driving straight through to South Bend ... about 13 1/2 hours on the road ...
the b/f is a 'believer' in Subaru after an incident on a Houston freeway .. I usually drive in Houston, but he's driven in Chicago, etc ... so I wasn't worried about him handling the idiots in the traffic ... we were heading into the main part of the city where all the highways intersect, when a truck in front of us tapped his brakes and went left leaving us staring at the butt end of a 'dooley' dead stopped .. he hit the brakes, took a quick look right, and went for that lane .. we'd have never been able to stop in time .. the anti-lock system kept us from skidding, the low center of gravity kept us from overturning in the sharp maneuver, and the AWD straightened us right up in the lane ... we were fine except for quick-beating hearts!
anyway .. good to be back !
Cheers Pat.

Glad to hear the incident didn't become an accident.
Jim
Brenda: sounds like a nice, relaxing "short" drive. Glad to hear you had fun.
Hope everyone had a nice holiday, and hopefully had enough to eat.
Mark
Just read about that food and now I'm hungry for lunch. BBQ sounds good.

We left NJ Saturday morning and had a nice drive down. Took I95 all the way and the traffic wasn't too bad heading South. I think more people were off last week.
Light traffic (for the most part) and great mpg's. First tank was 23.6 and second was 24.5. That's even through NC's posted 70 mph speed limits. I could have easily done better with a lighter foot. ;-)
The seats felt a little more comfy that the Pittsburgh trip a few months ago. Maybe we're getting used to them, or they're more broken in.
Put the VisionPlus bulbs in today. I was going to put the Stonguard fog covers on but the fit doesn't seem right. HAL works perfectly in A/C mode. I wished heating mode worked as well.
That's all for now!
