My new ride (56k go fix a sandwich)

Well, here it is, my new ride. It's a 2003 Forester 2.5x 5-speed that I picked up three weeks ago and finally have pics. I got a killer deal on it, and that is why I decided to buy it rather than wait for a SF5 S premium model. It's nothing specail, but it works great for carring all my crap. Only mod so far is a Yakima bike rack.
Now to the pics, all of which were taken 2 weekends ago in South Park Colorado. The bike on top is a Specailized Stumpjumper Comp, which when it is not being ridden (which is a lot) is pretty much a permanant accessory to the car. Sorry for the quality of the pics, but they did not turn out as great as I expected.


Sitting outside the family cabin



On a dirt road off County Road 18 outside of Fairplay. Took 'er down this road to test her "off road abilities" and she handled it very well. Also created a great photo shoot.



Another shot, looking down the road to Mt. Silverheels (13,888ft)



Not-so-good shot going westwards, twards leadville.



The two permanant accessories... the dog (golden retriver) and the bike.

More to come!

EDIT: Sorry about the size of the pics, i will make them smaller when I get the chance.

Yeah I plan to keep it pretty much stock, with possibly minor mods like new shoes, and possibly a new rear sway bar. This is mainly going to function as my daily driver/weekend rally'er with all my funds going into the Legacy (plans include STi engine/tranny swap, full suspension and brake upgrades, ect.)

You can have my swaybar when I get a new one.

Looks sweet Jeff! I look forward to many excursions in it.

Unfortunately I'm in a wedding this weekend so I won't be able to make it. Of course the one time you can but I can't.... Oh well, there's always next time.

Now that school is back in session, and that I'm not working much I should be able to make a lot of meets. Hope to see you at the next one.
