I grew up an ARMY -brat, moving from Ft. to Ft..
I was Squadron Leader in my High School AF Jr ROTC Unit.
I served active time in the Army during the Nam. Did not see Nam as I was with the 82nd Airborne and then Airborne Artic Infantry in Alaska.

I was so impressed with the Subaru I bought there that I have now owned several of them. When I found out about the SVX model, I had to have one.
I'm sure glad I did. It's the finest car I've ever owned (and I've owned quite a few).
I'M currently trading out the auto tranny for a 5-speed manual gearbox. This is one of the few times I've been enjoying working on my broken vehicle. 9don't tell the wife I ruined the auto tranny on purpose)
I feel it was ahead of it's time and was the best car ever mass marketed in the 20th Century.
but then I've been biased towards Subarus and Chevy's for a long time.
My wife calls it an endearing character flaw.
