Background :: My girlfriend is a teacher. She just started at a new school and is dealing with a lot of crap thru out the day. She is already pretty exhausted with the school year.
So the other week, I was driving her Subaru Forester over to a buddy's house. And he just so happened to have the stock mufflers off of his 2011 STI. Well one thing lead to another and now the mufflers are on the Forester. Gives the lifeless NA engine, a little more grunt (at least audibly).
After the mufflers, one of the students noticed the modification and started talking to my girlfriend about cars. She was able to rattle off a few things I've mentioned and figured out that this 5th grader was a muscle car guy. So over the last few weeks he's been talking about cars with my girlfriend here and there (now she hears about cars at home and at work... she's going crazy).
We were out last night, and strolled into Barnes and Noble, and found an awesome Muscle Car book. She gave the student the book today, and he was ecstatic! Super pumped about the book, and the pictures. I guess just really stoked on it.
So my girlfriend is happy she got a gift that someone really liked and was able to make them happy. I'm happy for her... but I'm really happy that I think we have a future Opponaut.

Very cool. She's just made a real difference for that kid, that could affect him for the rest of his life . Maybe he'll end up as a mechanical engineer.

That was the one mod I was going to make to our Forester, but then we sold it. And good riddance! It was a great car while we had it (and I do miss it), but it was approaching 100k miles, so a few thousand was going to be spent on the timing belt & head gaskets, plus thanks to the miracle of science, our oil had super high silver readings (caused by the main bearing in 2009 Subaru engines), so that was going to be another $2k at least. And quite frankly, I don't have the patience for stuff like that.
But congrats on the conversion of another opponaut!

Our 2008 NA Forester also carries around an 04 sti catback.. Big smiles for turning two bolts and $40.
