If I could afford one, I’d love to have a Subaru

Something dependable would be a miracle.

My 20 year old car is having one mystery issue right after another and I can’t afford to “diagnose” the problems let alone fix them.

It’s not the car, it’s the freaks driving them.

We like ours. They are very popular in these parts. Between the all wheel drive and Blizzaks we can drive on surfaces that are too scary to walk on. It has been reliable, but of course it is was built just before the dempanic. It has the only back seat I have seen lately that you can stretch out in. It pairs nicely with our F350 diesel dually. They do have this reputation for attracting goofy bumper stickers. I did have to fight off the desire to wear sandals and polar fleece, heh heh.

My daughter acquired a 12 y.o. Corolla for $300., The driver’s outside door handle is the only one that worked. It is manual. She put 800 more into it and it has added 120 thousand miles so far to the 170k that was already on it. It is using a qt of oil in about 3k miles. A/C still works. Body looks rough but no rust. She would not trade it for new. She leaves a key in it and has no fear that someone will steal it.
