    Great news Steve.

    Mark, I hope things go well on your end.

    That name change feature was wild. Thing is, it's hard enough to identify everyone, now it's impossible. I'm not sure I like it, to be honest!

    Sweet, Steve!

    I looked but didn't see it. I was going to change mine to ldbricker/subarusaleshou since I used that when I was selling Subarus but couldn't figure it out.

    Mark - we will all share your relief when it turns out to be nothing (the power of positive thought...)!!

    Craig - missed you earlier in the week. See posts #20216 to 20221 on ion drive!

    Wonderful! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Beth gets nothing but good reports!

    Cool stuff. Of course, I'm an airplane guy so that goes right over my head! Exotic for me means a rocket powered plane!

    my F-XT just arrived at the dealer. They're PDI-ing it now. I have a time slot with finance first thing in the AM. 8-)

    We'll actually be in the area tonight, so I'll stop by and see it.

    We are very glad here that the news Re Beth is positive.

     Cheers Pat.

    Steve - wonderful news. You've both been in my prayers (even while I wasn't able to post). I'm so glad that things are okay now. Please give my love to Beth!

    Mark - keep those postive thoughts going. Prayers and love to you too!!

    I really had fun last night. You guys are too much. And props to Mod-Bob. He kept that whole thing going. It's funny sitting here doing a chat all by my lonesome and laughing out loud at my computer.

    not sure what to post. I hate to clutter the board with things that you will find boring. How about if you all ask questions and I'll try to post answers or impressions?

    Stereo options on the GT LTD?
  • goneskiiangoneskiian Member Posts: 381
    Patti,
    Could you give us the official weights of each model?

    Thanks!
    -Ian
  • goneskiiangoneskiian Member Posts: 381
    Rob,
    Check out www.cars101.com. Joe Spitz has all the options listed. I think the only options are to add a subwoofer and amplifier.

    -Ian
  • c_hunterc_hunter Member Posts: 4,487
    What about gas mileage numbers for the XT and H6 models?

    Craig
  • jfljfl Member Posts: 1,399
    Steve - Great news about Beth.

    Mark - We're praying for equally good news from you.

    I'm so happy to hear the good news about Beth. You must have felt a huge weight lifted off your shoulders.

    Well Brian should have picked up his FXT 10 hours ago. We missed our chance to have a pool to pick the date he took delivery but we can still have one to see how long it takes for him to climb out from behind the steering wheel and post again! :-)

    -Frank P
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Sweet Papa Bear!

    Frank: I say 3 days. That's typical for a new turbo owner. :-)

    Just saw one today, again. Stopped by to say hi to my dealer friend.

    Oh, and that Home Depot gift card came in, $25 for doing a Subaru test drive.

    Patti: EPA mpg for all models, curb weights, invoice prices, if you have all that. Whatever else you find interesting. You won't bore this group.

    I did some carpentry work for a relative this weekend, and had my Outback packed up real good:

    image

    I had to take the wheels off my compressor to get it in the 31" high liftgate opening (and I learned that the Forester has the same ~31" high opening despite looking taller).

    All our talk about compressors and loading up wagons made me think a picture was called for.

    Picked it up Saturday and quickly put 130 miles on it. Had 5 to start with. Put a quick coat of AIO on after dusting it. (OCD is alive and well)

    I've enjoyed reading your updates along the way. Like anticipating a new car without spending the money! So how do you like it? Is it stickered as an 04 or 05?

    Craig
  • lucien2lucien2 Member Posts: 2,984
    Sucker! LOL Your OCD is in trouble now....trust me!

     got the Cobb rear bar in today. It's on the mildest setting, and already it's an awful lot of bar. The car NEEDS that front one. It would be a great autocross setup though; she definitely likes to shake that booty now. Car feels great though, only to see how it feels in the rain. Prudence is the watchword until the whole system is in place.

    FWIW Cobb shipped FSBs that were out of spec and don't fit. I found out the hard way. :-(

    Congratulations Brian!

    Looking good. :)

    My DW said "If anyone can keep this car clean, you can!" I know it'll be tough, but how can I let myself fail now? ;-)

    It's an '04, built in March. I actually firmly believe it is quieter and better riding than our Outback was. Killed it twice so far, both times *forgetting* the hill-holder was 'on'. The kids seats fit fine and Brooke likes "Daddy's new car". :-)

    Apparently, it was sitting in Portland for a while before the Illinois regional noticed and put it on HOT SHIP to the dealer. I probably could have had it 1 week earlier if they were on top of that. Dealer owes me a moonroof appt, will schedule that this week.

    Dealer experience was top notch. No pressure, no hype. Where's that survey, these guys are getting good marks!

    Steve - Glad to hear the good news. Nothing like that feeling of a weight being lifted. ;-)

    Mark - More positive vibes headed you and your family's way.

    Brian - Oh dear! Not black! ;-) Have fun keeping it clean, and have even more fun driving it!

    Nice wheels (the whole car, and the alloys)!!! Enjoy it.

    We went for the 'grand buffet' at Mohonk Mountain House, a victorian era resort in the Hudson Valley. Spent the day exploring the hotel, hiking the trails, etc. Great family fun, although pushing a stoller up around the lake was a killer (no, I didn't make it to the summit).

    The "Overlook" has nothing on this place...

    We went to the Cozy Inn Restaurant up near Camp David in Thurmont MD. We go there every year. They have a super buffet and is a neat place to visit. I highly recommend it.

    Sweet-lookin' ride there. Enjoy!

    Another black car...your OCDness will be put to the test!

    My question is, did you wax before or after you drove it for 150 miles (LOL)?

    It's sweet! I'm envious again! ;-)

    Have fun keeping it clean, Brian.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the Outback XT at the local dealer. Hopefully there will be a 5-speed to test drive.

    Spent Mother's day at the kids in Duluth. Took the fishing boat/trailer up in the morning. Brought back our utility trailer in the evening so we can start emptying out the garage and house. 37 years of stuff. Did find my Philmont Scout Ranch belt and buckle from 20 years ago. Gee, wonder what else will be found.

    That's definitely going on the some day list.
  • bluesubiebluesubie Member Posts: 3,497
    Nice Brian!

    Loosh - Keep us posted. You're gonna need to ditch those light truck tires soon. :-)

  • subearusubearu Member Posts: 3,613
    before we left Saturday, I AIO'd it, took about 25 minutes. Then when we came home last night, I dusted it and used some Meguiar's Quik Detailer on it to remove a few bugs and whatnot.

    -Brian
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    You OCD Club Membership is secure. ;-)

    Assuming, of course, that the wax job include the rims...
