All Wheel Drive is All We’ll Drive

Say goodbye to another Subaru, and hello to yet another. Yes, I have gone through a lot of Subarus. Every time people see me, I am in a new car. Here is my list:

1993 Legacy wagon, green
1997 Impreza wagon, black
1999 Outback, white
1999 Outback Limited wagon, black
2006 Forester Premium, Steel Grey Metallic

The 99 Outback was getting up there in mileage, as well as facing a high bill for routine maintenance. We felt it was time. Besides, Lisa wanted me to have a new car, as opposed to the constant spiral of used cars, and to be happy and secure. The financing was great, as were my negotiating skills.

The 2006 Forester is great. It is 5-star safety rated, has side airbags, and handles very impressively. We also got the extended warranty, to cover other high-ticket maintenance repairs in the future. We initially thought that the mileage on the warranty would run pretty fast, but that may change…
