Glad to know that I'm not the only weird one that loves luxury full-size SUVs and turbocharged sport compact cars too!

Danno, were you on evom before owning a scoobie?

Nope... Prior to that I had a 1985 300D Turbo... Lets just say that the scoob is slightly faster

These are FUN little cars aren't they... Like driving a go-cart!

Yes, lots of fun. Although the 08s feel a little less "raw". I was gonna get a GTI (I like hatchbacks) but when Subaru came out with this ugly toad, I had to get it.

Who gets the garage and who gets to scrape ice?

The one who scraps ice doesn't have the garage. You know who....

Is it just me or does the new Subie look like it came from Mazda?

Personally, I think you are drawn to cars with almost the same front fog-lamp treatments. Separated at birth?

haha. I get the garage. A little too tight for the GL, which gets the carport next to the garage. No other car I've ever owned makes me smile as much as the black toad. And just when it feels like the novelty is wearing off. The sound of the turbo spooling and the 4.8sec 0-60 just brings the smile all back.
