We've owned three WRX's (02/04/09) and since they quit making the WRX hatch, we (it's my wife's daily driver) are now in a 17 Forester XT- miss the manual transmission (only offered in auto), the power is on par with the WRX's- 2.0 liter turbo- it's little taller and a little heavier than the WRX's, so doesn't handle as crisply, but not bad. The more room and a little higher clearance has been advantageous in many instances, but we both kind of miss the handling of the WRX.

We've never had any major mechanical issues with any of Subaru's. We always run good winter tires (and swap to good summer tires in the spring), combined with the AWD system, it makes for a very nice vehicle on difficult roads.

Good to know-- THANKS!! We've been driving Toyotas for the last 15 years or so with great results but my wife doesn't like the looks of the newer RAV's, and several of her coworkers drive and love Subarus. My dad and my sister both bought in with the new-model Outbacks; I think that was 2015 or so? They love them. Today we drove several, but the one we both liked a lot was a 2016 Forester with the Touring package. All the high-tech stuff reminds me of my mom's Lexus's, which I will say spooks me a little in terms of breakage down the road, but that aside I actually thought the Subaru drove better than the Lexus. More road feel, less disconnect, comparably smooth, almost as quiet. Anyway, sorry to hijack, was just hoping someone here had real world experience and I hit the jackpot- thanks again! smile

Jeff- I drive a Tacoma, don't think I'll ever own a different pickup (well different as in different model, a new one on the horizon for me :D)

thanks- he's half Chihuahua and half Yorkshire, a Chorki smile wife brought him home two Thanksgivings ago, I was late coming home from elk hunting and when I came in the door my little granddaughter said "look Papa, a puppy" thinking she had a little stuffed dog, then I see this little speck of fur run across the room, everyone was nervous for my reaction, but tough not to like a little pup (he weighed under two pounds when she brought him home); never would have thought he would make a good trail companion, but he definitely has!

Tundra for me; but it's about the size of the newer Taco's. Has been beyond superb.

Mutts are the best. Did you hear of the guy trying to create a basic "American dog", I forget what he was calling it? Medium/small size, brown, low maintenance fur, etc. I like the notion. (Says the guy with a purebred Tibetan Terrier, but still, haha)

funny how trucks have gotten so much bigger; saw an older Tundra the other day- was a toss up on what was bigger, my newer Tacoma or the older Tundra

4 miles with Tiny Elvis- really pretty with a light snow (and almost no wind!), saw a few bunches of deer

Back Day-
8 sets of Lat pulldowns, 5 sets of heavy (120lb) dumbell rows, Farmer's walk for traps(5 sets of 110lb dumbells X 300ft), 8 sets of Bicep curls, 5 sets of facepulls(200s universal), close grip tricep bp
5 sets 185X20 repsX2, 225X10 repsX2, 275lbsX 10 reps

H.I.I.T.- 5 cycles (500m C2 average 1:50split) 5 sets of 40 reps (Russian Kettlebell Swings) X32KG

15 min on climbing machine.(easy to slow down hr and ease things in cycles.

Cut up 1 cord of wood and split it up and stacked it in kunichuq.

I run a 2010 Rav 4 SUV and 2016 Honda Highland. I would say that Highland might not take loads but its a great vehicle. I also have a 1984 Ford 150 Heavy Half with 390 V8 and 4 barrel Carb kit. It gets about 9 mpg but if we go red dawn that truck will go through h-e double hockey sticks.

Lower body yesterday, got back up to where I was before the first ankle surgery last January, things are looking up.

Serious question for gym-rats, do people with headphones not know how ridiculous they sound rocking out and singing off-key to songs no one else can hear?

Yesterday it was like wathcing Eddie Murphy sing "Roxanne."

I use headphones at the gym, never on the trails- BUT I don't sing laugh

strength train

squats 5/3/1+/10, bench 5/3/1+/10, pull-ups 3x10, dips 3x30, core

pleasantly surprised myself; I thought I was getting very close to plateauing on my squats/bench, on my 1+ hit 6 reps on my squats and 5 on my bench, so I'm still pushing full steam ahead! smile

Great on the recovery, not yet on the headphones, but getting closer.

Hit the gym, mostly upper body but threw in some RDLs since I was already at the squat rack. Tweaked a hamstring, not too bad though.

That's great that you are in fightin' trim again, SP!

Managed to surface from the machining fugue state and do 40 minutes on he gerbil wheel today. smile It was a good thing to do, gotta keep doing it. It's just hard to disengage.

Whoops, just saw the tweaked hammie, haha.... well, close to fightin' trim then.

I discovered the quad muscle I pulled in the wreck is the one you use when you stand up on a bike and crank; I could certainly feel it, bit sore at first... . But it's ok.
