now that you mention it, the owners i know were neglectful..

There's your problem. In his younger days my dad used to be a lot boy at a Subaru dealership (think late 70's). He said he came across a bunch of Subarus with 400k+ that came on regularly for their maintenence.

Problem is alot of douchebags own Subarues. Sound familiar?

A lot of douchebags own a lot of cars...

That is why it's familiar.

that subie L was a freaking TANK.



regular field beatings, running into (and over) trees, exploding deer, etc



replaced the front axles for the kid 3 times (2 left, 1 right) and had a thermostat stick shut on us once.



otherwise, the ******* thing never quit, until he wrecked at 90+ and ripped it IN HALF



the front clip was in a field, and the kid was sitting still strapped into the front seat with his feet on the pavement. He walked away (well his drunk ass stumbled away) but its insane. I'm at work so i cant post the pics but it was crazy. dumb **** is lucky to have his life.
