Re: First Outback problem
Just the facts:
Car is at Russel Subaru being fixed as we speak.
Steve Russel was there when I arrived to personally seewhat happened and to be sure it never happened again. Was extremely apologetic and reassuring.
Was waiting for the loaner Outback to be brought around, when Steve Russel pulled me aside and said:
"I know that you were promised an Outback, but if you want, how about a BRZ instead?"
So for the next 2-3 days I am driving a new silver BRZ with automatic/ 6-speed manual. It only has 83 miles on it and just came back from the upholstery shop where they put in black leather. I think they were going to use it as a demo, but he decided to let have it through tomorrow.
Not my cup of tea for the kind of long-distance driving I do, but a blast to drive, even In the rain. Suspension a little hard and it is slightly noisy due to minimum insulation. Exhaust sounds nice, but is always prevalent. Listening to the stereo would be not the greatest. Transmission is smooth and the rear visability sucks!

Definitely as a weeked / Sunday-at-the-track diversion
