Baby is one year old today

I picked up "Baby" on September 15, 2014 at a Toyota dealership here in Austin, Texas. In that year, I have put 13,500 miles on her, with no problems whatsoever, except crickets. With the mods made, she is now my dream car. Thank you, Subaru and Toyota, for making a FUN car!! I will drive her until she rusts to pieces.

Hopefully, yes. We don't have road salt in the winter!

OTOH, when the paint finally fades, I plan to have her repainted actual Burnt Orange. Hot Lava is very close, but it needs a slight tinge of brown to truly achieve Longhorn-ness.

A car called "Baby"? What kind of anthropomorphism is that? I suppose you breast feed it and sing it lullabies as well.

Well, "baby" can also be used to refer to your SO, so maybe it's... a different kind of attention?

Something like that. My wife claims that she is my "other" girlfriend. She's right.
