Kinja'd!!!

 This is the newest, lowest mileage, and nicest car I have ever purchased. I have owned many a pile but this thing is awesome. It’s a 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5 Limited. So happy.

Awesome, I have a 2013. It’s a great car but for the oil burning that subaru fixed last winter. MY car is the blue one.

I love the color dude! I tried to get the Green on my 15, but couldn’t find any. Have you considered lifting it?

2012 was the last year of the EJ in the Outback, so he should be fine.

How’s yours been since the repair?

My car burned 1/2 at in a hair over 4,000 miles so I guess it is better.

I am pretty happy with it as is at the moment. I am not sure I want to go down that route yet.

It has 100,5xx on it. I have to do the timing belt real soon. The only real plan is to fix my only real issue with the car and that’s the grill. I am going to make my own. I have seen some pretty nice home made ones on forums. I have to take it in for the wiper motor recall. Needs some mud flaps cause I wanna protect that fine as wine color. Maybe replace the puddle lights with LEDs. I would LOVE to retrofit EyeSight but I feel like that could be a huge undertaking.

Lol no. My wife couldn’t come with for the purchase so I had to borrow a car trailer to go get it solo. Worked out just fine.

No, I wanted an (GASP!) automatic this time. My wife has a ‘15 Impreza automatic and it’s sooo nice. The car this is replacing is a ‘01 Forester S 5-speed.

By the way, are your rims painted or powdercoated?

Besides the timing belt that sounds fun. If you start gravitating towards the off-road look you could fit some foglights behind whatever mesh you use for the grille, tends to look good on Subaru’s. Then slap some snow tires(possibly for no reason other than to look cool) to match the flap flaps.

They’re 2015 WRX wheels! They came that way from the factory!
