You may want to reconsider your terminology there.

It's all your fault!
First it was the Imprezza so you would have room and now she is afraid you have gotten bigger so need yet more room.

Cleaning out my garage, replacing my tool boxes that are as old as me. So i thought I would share one. It`s a Hazet assistant copy 1960 made in Japan made of,i`m guessing, Chevs, Fords, Holdens and good old Aussie iron ore. Made by Hory Japan. None around any more just a few original German models. Here`s mine Complete and original.

Ya. The reality is that we really needed the almost double towing capacity for the boat. The Outback would do it but just barely.
The 7 passenger capacity will also mean we can take one car instead of two for our frequent family jaunts on weekends in the summer. The extra power is nice as well since the 2.4 NA and CVT in the Outback gave it a zero to 60 of about 5 minutes and even though heavier the Ascent with the turbo is much quicker. All in all there are some very valid reasons to go larger even though it does mean that some people will look at her driving by herself and scream "wasteful!". EDIT: OH and we got so much for trade in on the Outback right now that it would have been foolish to not upgrade at this point in time!

Extra bonus is that it still matches your snow blower (or was it a pressure washer?).

I will say, I do like the new wheels.
I still don't think the wings will generate enough lift for it to fly though, not without more thrust.
