Or the even more rare ‘84 4WD Turbo Coupe.

Old school Subaru nerd here. Take all the stupid faux rally crap off and you’ve got a super clean, low mileage GL-10 coupe, which are incredibly hard to find anymore. The EA81 engine is an unstoppable workhorse that’ll do 40+ mpg. I would love to get my hands on this thing.

My car isn’t as old as yours (it’s a ‘98) but I love it for many of the same reasons. For me, the biggest reason I love it - it leaves me the hell alone. No beeping and bonging from lane departure sensors and other modern safety feature BS. The other nice thing? Knobs. Knobs for the heater, knobs for the radio. No…

“push the brake pedal and away you go.” Umm, that’s an entertaining turn of phrase.

I had a friend who wouldn’t use a microwave because using one “changed the molecular structure of food.” Uh, yeah, they sure do but I’m pretty sure that’s also just a fancy way to describe “cooking.”

Which industry has the worst jargon? Business. “I have a 1:30 to socialize the TPF with the Tiger Team and figure out who our resources are” Huuuuuurl. I work with people who routinely just spew that shit like it’s normal.

People actually pay $35k for a Camry? Rhetorical question but still. I can think of many other cars I would rather own for that kind of money.

In ‘89, my parents rented a Dynasty during a trip to Minnesota for a family reunion. We thought the car was FANCY. I mean, it had cruise control, power windows, and A/C! The kids don’t know how good they have it these days.

It’s my greatest dream to pull an entire car out of a junkyard to resurrect it. I feel so bad for the ones with no body damage.

It kills me to see how people just destroy cars to get the part they need.

There used to be a junkyard dedicated to late 70s Subarus (of all things) in Muskogee, OK (of all places). I loved to poke around there but the owner wanted crazy high prices for everything. I’m guessing the junk yard was really his private collection that he couldn’t bear to part with.

Putting $15k down on a car with a 5 year loan is not a good investment. Unless you need a really specialised vehicle for work, you could have just bought a $15,000 car.

Well said. I look at my ‘98 Subaru and think, “I have to keep you forever because no one else will treat you as well as you deserve.”

When I was in college I had a basket case of a car that was constantly in the shop. But it was my (at the time) dream car - an ‘87 Full Time 4WD Turbo Subaru RX liftback. It was super cool looking and when it ran was a hoot to drive. It was also a rare color for that model - Twilight Blue Metallic - with black spoiler…

I like to think my ‘18 Forester has a certain dorky charm.

Oh - and I would add the car from Starsky and Hutch.

You get a star for mentioning BJ and the Bear. Thats some obscure TV. One of my favorite shows as a kid.

I am so happy that dungeons are hard again. It feels like a real game and not just a mindless time waste. I gave up tanking after they nerfed the dungeons in Cata, now I’m tanking again and loving it.

I’m not entirely sure I would refer to the old Ranger as “legendary.” “Fondly remembered,” perhaps, but not legendary.

Some hipster somewhere just gooed his pants over this. “It’s perfect for picking up supplies for building my tiny house!”
