Don't worry guys, still keeping my Camaro. I just have something else to use as a daily driver now so I can make the Camaro bigger, better, faster and stronger.  
Anyway, it's a 1996 Subaru Legacy wagon. AWD and 5-speed.
I just went skiing with it last weekend and it did great in the snow! The plan for the next few years is to drive it as is. It's a stock 2.2l that runs really good, only 55k on the motor.
Maybe after a while I'll do a built STi motor swap or something and build it up a bit. That would be a fun 400AWHP sleeper car. 
Here's the pics:

Um. I don't know what to say about your sedan. Other than, it's a wagon.
Nice. Dirty Steve had a 97 Legacy GT with the 2.5 dual cam motor. Not too bad pep wise. AWD donuts in the snow are fun as hell. From what I understand everything from WRXs and STIs bolt right on, brakes, motor, trans, etc.
There's a couple large Scoobaru tuners here in Tacoma. I see one of them rolling around in a Forrester STI.

Psh. Wagon, sedan, what's the big deal? 
Took it skiing last weekend and experimented with those AWD donuts myself... fun fun fun!
Got stuff going on this weekend. Can't make it up for HSR stuff.
Heck, maybe you should just keep that thing 'til next Cows and meet up then...  Nah, I'll keep trying to make it up there.

Hmm I was reading a mag not too long ago saying Subi's aren't that interchangable. And that even making a WRX and STI is a huge PITA. But they could be wrong.

Didn't you have another Subi before that?
Like a Wagon of 80's vintage?

Do you like the SeaChickens? I'm not sure. There is a hint, but I figured I'd ask just to make sure.

Heck yes I did, but I got tired of always working on two different 22+ year old vehicles. The other Subaru was fun, but unreliable and old.
Now I can spend time and money on the Camaro, and still drive an already nice car.

I have tons of interest in this post. Looks like I'm selling this weekend.
