Well get this, I was out sick all day with what I assume was the black death. So I had all day to think about winter beaters because winter here is 8 months long.

I like my Forester. It's nice and clean, and winter would just wreck that. So... My thoughts...

Step 1: Acquire decently low mileage SF5 Subaru Forester (With a manual trans of course)
~2000-3000 $$$

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Step 2: Acquire Ironman springs and 1" strut spacers

~ 700 $$$

Step 3: Acquire some decent sized Geolandars or something like that (215/75 r16 maybe?)

~700 $$$

Step 4: Bed liner spray entire car (after fixing any rust) and then mask properly and spray on camo like so because I like camo.

~ ? I dunno 500 bucks maybe?

Step 5: Own two foresters. LOL.

Total cost, 4500 ish dollars.

Yeah, I can't wait for another winter. The last one brought record cold, snow and overall misery. Bring It!

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > E30Joe drives a Subaru 07/22/2014 at 22:15

yes. and with the 1200 bucks you save you can afford to do a 5 speed swap, and put in a ghetto sound system cuz with a truck like that you gotta have a little bump.

I just posted an article about doing up a Impreza wagon with arctic camo.

Seeing as you're from Minnesota (it appears you're near the cities) I'm not going to complain about NY winters.

I'm thoroughly obsessed with camo cars. Time to read your post!

Minnesota was brutal to us this winter, our summer has been pretty wet too, but we manage

NY was back to our usual. Well usual for a Great Lakes winter. Don't you love wind chill?

-40 is a fun thing to see on the weather app.

Yeah, thankfully we don't get that bad where I am. We only hit -20 maybe once or twice a year. Usually anywhere from -10 to 30.
