    Hey all,

    Last Wednesday (the night of that huge storm) I purchased a 1996 Subaru Legacy L Wagon. My previous two cars have been a 1987 Olds Cutlass (sold to drug dealers about a month ago...) and a 1988 Pontiac Firebird ( will be up for sale soon) Anywho this being my first car from the 1990s and the fact that it is a Subaru to boot has made for a totally new driving experience! I have cup holders! The car hasnt been in Minnesota long, no rust, excellent maintenence records. Oil pump seal, water pump, timing belt, plugs & wires, all replaced at around 100K miles. I bought it with 143,000 but its runs perfectly! I am hoping to partake in the whole "Subaru reliability" thing for the next maybe 5 years or so. Anywho the bottom line is that I love it!

    The rear hatch/bumper area will soon become a promotional tool for the best heavy metal bands the world has to offer! That will be custom enough for me 8)
