Got a great trade on the Impreza.

It can tow a boat?!?!

On a trailer yes. 2700 pound tow capacity. Boat and trailer weigh in at about 2000 pounds. Loads of safety margin.

Mrs. Ultra just called to tell me about it. She was totally disappointed when I said "Yeah, I know, right?"


I could practically hear her deflate.

my team captain has an outback with the H6 in it. and its not exactly nimble. but it does the job well of moving kids and cones to practices... and cones and tires for other practices hahah (he drives an ND1 in CS)

Don't buy an outback unless you have already looked at a Regal TourX. Extremely discounted, longer warranty, better looking.

This car is like a legend to me. When I see one, I get the impression that I has just finished a rally race, and now it is heading to run another. Great sound.

VP of my division: Hey we are kicking off an exciting new thing. Can you start working on it next week? Also can you travel?

Me: Uhhhh, yeah sure. Is this travel all week?

If you had bought the better version Impreza than you'd have had no problems either.
Rated at 300 h.p. with Bembos and heavy duty everything I was able to tow two motorcycles and loads of gear and tools and more through the mountains to N.C. each fall for the wife and I to ride.

Likely our Forester and our FRS are our last Subarus. We may or may not hold onto the Forester, but parts are failing, like the suspension and brakes. I will likely keep the FRS for a long time. However, I look at the Impreza and just shrug. The Ascent is unimpressive. I just don't see anything I want. I wouldn't kick an STI out of bed, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get in bed with one.

Keep hope alive.
