why did you sell it and what are you driving in its place?

I sold it because 1. it broke down on me in Georgia in the middle of nowhere and pissed me off, 2. ETS, 3. it was the wifes car, I was hardly ever driving since I have the T5 now and she doesn't need a V70R wink.gif , 5. I wanted it to be in the hands of someone who would enjoy it since I wasn't anymore, 6. and a bunch of other reasons. I miss the car already, I loved just looking at it. sad.gif

I replaced the with a new left over '05 subaru legacy GT ltd wagon.

Well, was the R a manual? Cause I would go as far as to say T5M > R anyway... just more fun. Now a RM... that would be sick.

Sorry Greg, but I was feeling a drift away from the R. One thing I have learned is how quickly you lose interest in the wife's cars. Once the new wheels are bolted on to the ML, it too will be free.

It always hurts to sell an R...

All a good car really needs is a steering wheel, two seats, good brakes, an engine and, of course, a turbo!
