Must not lift Outback.. Must not lift Outback..

Nicole and I found a fun little road where we can take the cars to get dirty once it starts raining/snowing. Figure we can do a little group ride up that way to tromp around. It's nothing crazy, but a skid plate is recommended--lots of places to high center the car, but can easily be avoided or driven over cautiously without trouble, if a skid plate isn't to be had.

When she told me that I went from “YES” to “Oh crap this could get expensive” in about 10 seconds.

We’d need different wheels because the STI BBS’s offset wont allow bigger tires to clear. Then the cost of the tires and the lift itself. We likely won’t be making any changes until the car needs tires again.

I'm flattered you all think we are more financially stable than in reality.

In not unrelated news, giving serious consideration to parting out and/or selling Toby. Anyone interested?
