I bought a second car yesterday so I'm pretty stoked on that

It's not a new car by any stretch (it's 24 years old) but it's going to do a lot of work for me as a vehicle I can use for going to trails that isn't my commuter car

Awesome! I've got a 2001 Subaru that I use to get to trails. Same thing; sometimes I have to walk, but at least I'm not beating up my main car for getting the kids around.

I was initially thinking about getting a Subaru but after working on a few it really discouraged me due to the level of difficulty

Head gaskets in particular suck to swap

[–] krellor@beehaw.org 1 points 8 months ago

I got lucky in that regard I guess. My mechanic told me that I got the one model of Subaru that doesn't blow the head gasket. So fingers crossed!

Otherwise, yeah, Subaru's aren't easy to work on at home.
