Hello from Germany (originally California)

[stiburu]

BH 2000 legacy L wagon (unfortunately auto trans)
116,400 on purchase
currently at 122,100

first car i was able to futz with the engine. boxers are hard to learn on. so far so good though, ran into a few minor problems i was able to diagnose with the assist of youtube. thankfully i haven't had to disassemble the engine, its my only car. originally had no issues. after the first month i ran into everything one at a time and they slowly built up. finally got a fix on it all and is running smooth. it sucks when you are forced to learn something you have been wanting to learn for a while. too much stress. but i have a subie...thats all i care about

i dont have a picture at the moment. i havent been too motivated to take the pics, not in the greatest shape. not embarrassing but not impressive.

if any of you have been to germany or have seen pics or videos of the roads, you know there are pylons on the side of the road every 50 meters with reflectors. this happened on an on ramp during the rain and i didnt know the quality of my tires. i took out two of them. it cracked my plastic flimsy bumper as well as ripped out the wheel well panel. its kinda weird that it happened that way.

this is the inside the passenger front wheel well that got ripped out.
