I regularly ran mid-grade in my 2005 Outback XT (turbo). Pretty common actually. Unless you’re “running a tune” you can get away with it.

Just got updated to an X1. Previously had a Dell Precision M4700. Completely different animals, but filling the same role. Even running AutoCad, it gives up nothing in performance.

Two words: LS Conversion

My 12 year old, beat to hell, $2500 Subaru is not impressed.

Having similar thoughts about my 2005 Outback XB. However, it’s probably going to get a wrap above the belt line to cover the peeling clear coat. Were it not for the clear coat issue, I’d be doing the woodgrain.

I’ve got one of these. Used it many times on top of my Yakima Load Warrior cargo basket. First time I used it was a 600 mile trip to Florida in torrential rain. Everything inside was dry upon arrival.

I’m old enough to remember when this car was on the cover of several magazines. I thought it was ugly then. I still think it’s ugly now, but a tinge of nostalgia makes it maybe a little less so.

Is there anyone besides me that get’s annoyed by the term, “rate of speed”?

I’m with you on that, but I’m going to find a reason to go test drive one of these (w/ 6MT.. natch)

Same here. Wife recently bent a rim on our 2012 Outback. I thought that was a great reason for bigger tires and a lift.

I give this product a positive review having used it several times, but to claim it “restores” headlamps is not accurate.

Service life on stamping dies is measured in hits, not years.

3:00 mark. Guy with a cutting torch and no PPE other that high vis shorts and vest. Priceless.

You nailed it.

Love me a sexy wagon. And it looks like my dogs could ride comfortably in this one.

Had a 97 Cobra. If I recall correctly, there were no Mustang nameplates on that car anywhere, and the only galloping pony was on the passenger air bag cover.

CTS wagon does pretty much suck from a utility standpoint. I own one, and I love it, but most of my utility needs fall to my Outback. The low roof line really kills the cargo hauling ability.

Ronald McDonald would look right at home behind the wheel.

I’ve developed somewhat of a sick obsession with malaise era “performance” cars myself. Likely due in no small part to my age. These cars were new when I was an impressionable young lad. If it had lots of stripes and decals, it must be fast, as far as I knew. And T tops? Oh my, be still my heart.
