"...insert "bend over and cough" jokes here)..."

i'll wait ten years, then do a black snake joke. (ps, blk snake is muchomore better than the prior silver stallion)...

I suggest if you see a doctor that makes you bend over and cough you change physicians.

Now turn your head and cough.

Just Kidding.

Trying to buy 5 cords of almond for a good deal [we got almost 2ft/snow in the last week and a half] and make the house livable w/out going into more debt. Then once completed pay-off student loans and work on the car payment (1). We have an `06 F250 that I use the crap out of hauling stuff, and a `94 Wrangler. Next car will be another 4x4 maybe a mini-SUV or Subaru.

Did I mention yet that you can just empty $ in a house.. L O L!!

I knew it was something like that...like I said, it's been a while since my last visit to the doc.

Having been the child of auto parts store owners and worked parts on the side in a Subaru dealer trying to put myself thru college, all I can say is NNNNOOOOOOO Subaru. Unless of course you like paying thru the nose for a car comperable to a Kia AND then having to pay thru another orifice to repair the darn thing. If you are going import 4x4 then Honda or Toyota.

I've always liked the look and feel of a Sequoia. Unfortunately I don't have a spare $50k lying around.

They break down too. Look at the 4x4/expedition/overlanding forums, there are those that spend twice as much as a Chevy/Ford/Dodge on a Toyota and break it just as much and cost twice as much to fix.

On the Subaru I am not talking about breaking one, I am talking about the car not lasting on normal city street driving day to day. This is the only vehicle I know of that leaks more oil than an old Harley Davidson.

Any time one pulled in, it was GUARANTEED to be leaking oil if it had more than 10k miles. If I think long and hard enough I can probably remember the part numbers for the seals and gaskets to "fix" it. (for another 10k miles tops)

And don't let the salesman tell you that it was only the Loyale and early Legacy cars. The new one's do it too. The service tech's used to say the day Subaru fixes oil leaks will be the day they quit.

I swear the oil companies and gasket/seal manufactures got together and designed the engine for Subaru for free.
