My father (diesel mechanic) is still driving an 84 subi I gave him. $35 sensor & fresh gas = back on the road after sitting for several years. My college roomie learned to drive in it (the body shows it) and it still gets 38mpg all day long.

I bought a Cruiser cuz I once filled the subi wagon w/ 3 6' humans @200+lbs ea, a doberman, camping gear for the weekend, and kayaking gear, and drove 12 hours to spend a weekend improving our whitewater skills. :bulging at seams:

I still kinda miss that lil car.
