Honor Flight for my WWII vet uncle today.

So few left.

 

[wngrog]

[Bomar]

Mike they all run just about the same motors...other than WRX STI....All flat 6...

 

[wngrog]

Are Subarus still made in Japan?

 

[Bomar]

I think impresa ' s are most others are made in USA now.

 

[Bomar]

Go drive one at Jim Keras next time you are in Memphis. Buy through USAA in Dallas. Or atleast shop prices on what you want with Sewell and others. Wait till month end it would be better at month end in Sept or Dec....

Mike what about a Jetta TDI wagon? sweet mileage and can haul pup..

 

[wngrog]

Kaderabek has Jetta TDi wagon. It's a lot of car for the $. That said id do Subaru for the AWDAWD

The new XV crosstrek...is badass smaller sporter but the new Forrester is super sweet...tons of room. Outback is good also. Well made cars....like the landcruiser of cars.
Look in DFW area for cars...i think the savings would be worth the drive. I am amazed how different car business here is vs other areas. All about volume....turn and burn

I like the xv as well but have read several article all say go with a Outback, dont pay for the extra. Love the Subaru stuff.

1500 miles on my car since Monday. I played with fuel every tank switching from 93 (recommended) to 89

Overall average running 78 mph it got 30.8 mpg with the best tank was running 89 octane at 33 mpg.

Some fxxxing fxxx ran into my car at the funeral home last night. Tagged my wheel and one of the fender flares. My cousin saw it happen and they drove off. Asshat.

That is a dallas welcome....my truck has been hit 3 times parked already. Plus the Window broken out.

But that does suck...

Which subaru do yall like for this? My 100 is killing me on gas in my new job.

Are you planning to switch to the Episcopal Church?

 

[SHUSH]

Sold my 100 and bought a camry and 40

I rolled 127k today on my camry

I bought the car in August. let's call it 130k at ownership of one year.

It had 93k when I bought it.

That's 37,000 miles per year. I plan to drive it for atleast 4 more years. That will be an additional 148k miles for a total of 278k miles.

Gas is currently $3.32 on average for the state today.

The camry gets 31 mpg at an average speed of 74 miles per hour for 2 hours a day. (1 hour each way to work/home).

A tank holds 18.5 gallons. at $3.32 per gallon that's $61.42 per tank. I burn a tank a week.

That means over the next 4 years I will spend roughly $12, 775 on buying 3, 848 tanks

Sheesh.....

I love buying gas....i see too many cars look like grease spots on these highways. My wife and kid will be in a landcruiser as long as I am alive....to put them in one.

Would like a little more off road capability than a Passat. I do like it however.
