Finally got a picture of my car so I can make one of these topics to keep track of mods and repairs. :razz:

First edition: 4/4/2010

1998 BK Legacy L Wagon AWD 5MT 204,526 miles rebuilt, currently 210,545 mi (6,019 mi on engine). The name Regashi Bomber comes from the entertaining Japanese Subaru commercials (here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y5-V2SWDGM) a Bruce Willis one for you) when they pronounce "Legacy" with a thick accent, and the Bomber comes from a badge that my friend gave me from a mountain bike suspension fork. I think the term bomber suits the wagons well.
