    fwa's '08 Legacy 3.0R Limited - A new beginning

    Well, I finally got something newer. The wagon was really starting to show its age and was no longer reliable. I was originally looking for a third gen of some flavor, either a Baja Turbo or an H6 Outback but between the known issues with that gen turbo engine and the outback only coming with beige interior I settled on a 4th gen. Again, wanting more power but also not wanting turbo issues there was really only one option. The 3.0R Limited.
