Another set of keys...

For those of you who did not see it at Reading, I recently purchased another daily-driver vehicle, as my Miata is just impractical and a hassle when it comes to city traffic. I want to also be able to focus more on the progression of my SVX, and have a practical car, while staying in the Subaru family.

I was ebay-hunting and happened upon this 1996 Legacy LSi Wagon.

With just over 110k miles, disc changer, leather, and sunroof, I couldn't pass it up!






I already swapped in the 02 WRX CD Changer, some nice Bosch Icon wipers (beam-style), and clayed and waxed the entire exterior.

It looked like a work horse when you had all of the parts piled on top of it when headed to Reading.

Congrats on the car, you have it shined up rather nicely it looks like.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Thanks Earl and Jay. Yeah, you saw the beast in action. I'm on the hunt for a fresh motor for it.

DOHC? Booo!

The Phase 2 SOHC 2.5L has half the odds of dropping a head gasket!

Lol... I know. The motor in it is fine half of the time, and rapping and knocking the other half, not to mention the ominous diaplay of idiot lights today on the way home from work, but.. itll get sorted out once I get ahold of a new motor, among other things.

Of course, the SOHC's odds were still bad... My Legacy's left bank pitched out at 45k!
