So after my car was stolen and I got my insurance check ... I set about looking for a new set of wheels. The garage I go to is really liking Subarus so they talked me into going that route. I had initially planned on finding myself a decent GC impreza, but the universe had other plans (as it often does).
Picked it up yesterday. I'll get some more pictures when I get home (had to do it as an attachment, work interwebs won't allow me to photobucket).
2005 Legacy GT Limited (I even managed to find one with a five speed)
It's got higher mileage and the associated quirks (blown strut, some severe bushing wear) but nothing that wasn't going to (realistically) be replaced anyway. There's some small cosmetic issues, like some paint flaking off of the front bumper, but nothing glaring that would turn me away.
Not going to go quite as all out as I was going with the Civic, a few tasteful updates to increase the fun factor, but definitely not going quite as race car.
Definitely can feel the fact that it's much heavier, but still poised and nimble. So far I'm loving it. Going to leave it mostly alone and just do maintenance to get it up to snuff and keep it reliable.
