Post count in these forums just quadrupled today! Vacation must have been too good juice. I was beginning to wonder if you drowned over in Ocean City, or got swallowed up by the kiddy car rides (singing the Kingston Trio song: "M.T.A., " aka "Did he ever return."  Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Jul 27, 2009 1:44 pm) Brenda: nice road trip. We hosted my brother and his family, visiting from Brazil, for the past 3 weeks. It was complete insanity, busy busy the whole time, 2 events every day it seemed. We were here for a while, then in Ocean City for a week, then in New York City, then in Philly. Drove right past Subaru HQ, too. My brother just ordered a new Forester - in Brazil! They have a new dealer who just opened a Subaru outlet in Recife, the first and only one so far. His will be a 2.0l engine, too, not the big 2.5l we get, so I imagine it'll be very JDM, or maybe a european equivalent model. He told me they sell a base 2.0l, 2.0l Limited (what he got), and a 2.0l Turbo. He's not much into cars but that is what he seemed to think anyway. I'll visit the dealer when I go to Brazil next year, most likely. While he was here we let him drive our 2009 to get a preview of what it would be like. He and his wife both liked it, so no plans to cancel the order. She's driving around in a Citroen Xsara Picasso, a bizarre egg-shaped european people mover, right now, so the Forester will be a lot more mainstream. They have a farm so the AWD should be put to good use.

Replying to: rsholland (Jul 29, 2009 10:52 am) I guess they figure if you want performance, you want performance. Plus prices there put it in a near-luxury territory so if you can afford one, the price of fuel is not a big concern. He's paying the equivalent of over $40 grand. Still, it's about the same as the Hyundai Tucson and less than a CR-V costs there. |

We took the '97 Outback over to California for a week of cruising around. Coming back through the desert this morning seemed like a good occasion to mark the odometer rolling over 75k ... while doing the speed limit.   This one's for you Juice - apparently chipmunks eating wiring is a big problem up the Mineral King Road in Sequoia NP. Chicken wire fencing is common but quite a few cars were protected by laying a tarp down, driving over it, and then wrapping the car up in it.

Replying to: miksmi (Aug 02, 2009 12:09 am) Access is via 19 miles on a twisty, narrow dead end road - it's mostly paved, but it's also mostly one lane, especially the last 12 miles, and goes from ~800' to 7800'. I'd hate to think about the towing bill if a critter ate up some wiring. I guess out of ~35 cars parked near the end of the road, about 10 were either wired or tarped. |
