5th Gen owners....who are we??


Recommended Posts

It was a 50/50 shot as to whether I'd get it right on the first try or accidently delete the thread, but I appear to have succeeded in making this a sticky. Suppose that means I should go back and update my post in here...

 

...and updated, with plenty of excuses as to why I haven't installed my skid plate, transmission crossmember, downpipe, etc.

I never saw this thread before, either (and I've been here from time to time for almost 8 years). Anyway . . .

 

Male, 70

Married coming up on 48 of those

Retired structural engineer

 

Since the LGT is nominally hers, modifications have been minimal. MPSS summer tires and a set of aftermarket wheels for the PS A/S tires I run in the winter, a little debadging (that I don't think she ever noticed), Bilsteins (that she did), and an alignment that isn't quite "factory preferred". Plus a couple more little things most people probably don't do.

 

We've only have had the one Subie so far, but we did look at the WRX and Impreza yesterday when I was at the dealership for a few maintenance supplies. Legacy is off the short list, #becausenoMT in today's format.

 

For other activities, I track the '08 Mustang (that's where most of the car-mod money goes), and over the last couple of years I've started to do a little target shooting.
