My exx was really into Mustangs, so we went to so many shows. . . Ugh!<br />My daughter was heartbroken when Paul Walker died. She watched all of his movies growing up and would tell us she was going to marry him one day. When I heard the news I was so worried about telling her. She cried and cried on the phone with me.

Not sure that I would like continuous heat.

Subarus are hugely popular in Oregon and the PNW. I think because of their reliability but also the AWD.

I bought that used white wagon shortly after I graduated from high school--it had been a US Ski Team car--and, boy, did it serve me well for many years: big enough for a bunch of friends, plenty of camping gear, and for me to sleep inside while those suckers cowered in their leaky tents in a drizzle (heartless, I know). Plenty of folks did think it strange, though, that a fresh-from-high-school kid chose to buy a Subaru Wagon.<br /><br />I like the vintage one that you captured (cool color): I wonder how many miles it's sporting.<br /><br />Still, a Subaru--rally?, gathering?, car show?--strikes me as a bit of an odd thing, though I don't know why.<br /><br />I imagine that you'll be unloading the calendar at half price--you know, since we're already into August. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868114028772520290noreply@blogger.com
