Hello all. I just picked up my first Subie in the form of a Legacy wagon in a maroon color, stock with a 5 speed. It has 95K miles and was bought from the first owner who had the original window sticker and maintenance records. Best part is we picked it up for $2500 from a family who moved to Korea. It will be performing its duties as my dd and will therefore not see any mods other than a wheel/tire swap and some aesthetics. I have raced a track setup STi before and was floored by the performance of it. Already I am impressed with this Legacy with how well it drove in this recent snow. I do own three other Toyotas as you see listed in my sig. The AE86 is almost done with a motor swap, and the 91 MR2 is going to be parked for a while to get more love and less miles. The 85 MR2 project is for sale to pay for school.

Anywho, here are a couple pics...

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Other than the obvious lack of power, I really do enjoy driving this car around as a dd, and my friends like it too. I am also glad the color is something different because we all know how common subarus are. lol

It's funny you say that. A couple of my friends call these subarus LAV's for Lesbian Assault Vehicle. lol

"Lesbian Barbie"
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstock's with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow. She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Lesbian Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.

Thanks man, I will be happy for a long time if I can find me some late model wrx wheels. I found a set with tires for $200 but one wheel needs replacing. We will see what I can find.

Well, I don't post up on here enough to feel justified to start a new thread, but here is an update.

I had these (viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20950 (http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=20950)) on the car for a long while now, but had the itching for something more. So....

Here was how I got them....

Then, I said, F'that and went to bead blasting.
