Ma bought a "new" car.

I haven't been car shopping in 30 years. My car is a 1984. LOL!

Good heavens, Ma, I bet you had a "time warp moment" when looking at stickers, and figuring payment.

I've heard great things about Subarus so hubby and I got a pair. We bought the 2013 Crosstrek, which I'm guessing is a lower end SUV compared to the others. Anyhoo, even though it's a step down (or two) from my Saturn, I like having a SUV with back cargo for taking dog to vet without having to sit in my back seat LOL.

However, Mr. Beachy said it didn't handle well in the snow. We need to find out why since they are supposed to be great, especially the model you got. I didn't drive in any of the number of snow storms we had so I can't say how it handles.

Good morning night owl ((HUGS))

It’s going to be warmer today but it is still cloudy out.

you working today?

From all I've read so far, owners opinions as well as the magazine reports, the newly improved Forester is one of the best, even in snow.

I'd like to trade my mom's Honda for one or maybe the Crosstrek, but personally I'm keeping my Outback. In all the places I've taken it so far, it's been as good as my all three of my 4WD Tacomas have been.

As a hauler, I prefer it's longer and lower station wagon dimensions over the taller shorter dimensions of SUVs like CR-Vs, etc. The volume is the same, but it's just better for what I carry. Plus, the backseat leg and headroom was a pleasant surprise. Great all around compromise.

I never even looked at or thought of Subarus until my neighbor showed me his "new" 2012 OB. I bought mine a week later and still thank him. The only real complaint I have is the dealer's mechanics, but that seems to be the same with all brands.

Mornin’, Early Bird! (((hugs)))

I am working this morning, and need to get up from here and
get started so I can go sell pretty stuff to people!

We started a bracelet promotion and expect to have lots of
interest in it. Check the website for the latest! We also have
gorgeous new stuff. Oh, yes, I’m shoppin’ too! LOL!

See ya! :)

[E.G.C.]

Well, as you can see we're watching for some severe weather later today and tonight. May get active later today. We'll see what happens.

Did my weekly grass cutting work yesterday. Grass now growing with the season starting.

((HUGS))How's it going, LUV W?

[PROCON]

Happy Humpday Beachie! I’ll be traveling by train today to see my son in Washington, coming back Sunday. Our temps might hit the 70’s by next week, WOO-HOO! See ya soon.

(((HUGS)))
I wish you a good day...Thunderstorms in the forecast for tomorrow..Hoping for a good rain.

[beachn4fun]

Thanks for the heads up on new stuff. Eating lunch and will go look while on break.

[beachn4fun]

Oh I know I missed you by now. Hope you have a nice train ride and good luck while visiting your son.

[beachn4fun]

There are several people here at work who own a Subaru. I’ve talked to a few and they all love them.

I was told that my husband should have his checked out at the dealer since it could be a sensor not activating the AWD when needed. Plus, the Crosstrek was a new model, so there may be issues, although we haven’t heard of any. We think it might be tires, which are not good snow tires.

I’m keeping mine since it will go on forever, even if I don’t. LOL

[GBA]

Glad to hear that you like yours! I think you're right and wouldn't be surprised if his issue goes away with better tires.

It seems to be hit or miss and I've read a lot of complaints about the OEM tires from owners who love their Subaru but hate the tires. Like you, I'm keeping the car, but I am looking forward to changing the ones that came on mine ASAP. I'm just too cheap to do it now.

Good luck with it!

[luvie]

It’s going good. Hope the storms don’t get too rough up there!

[AZamericonnie]

Happy Birthday Grammie & many happy returns of the day! *Hugs*

[yarddog]

Thank you. That was once a nice looking little town. Probably is again after 70 years.

[yarddog]

Thank you.

[Arrowhead1952]

We are forecast for 1.5 - 1.75 rain today and tomorrow. Hope we get that rain.
