While I do have plenty of help available, I don't expect to need it very soon. The car is solid, top to bottom. No accidents, solid construction, interior is in fantastic condition, and it's got that H6 3.0 that Subaru did so well with.
I know she's excited to have this car, but the enthusiast in me is ecstatic about A: having this car in our family and B: having the opportunity to work on it! It's a neat lil' beast with that H6 at it's core and I've always been partial to this generation's design in the first place. Big beefy foglights, the black/chrome headlights (that I can probably clean up), the cladding on the side that makes it look a little tougher, it's a great looking car. Although we're still not quite sure what color it is!
One of my favorite features of it is the WeatherBand Radio! You don't see those anymore on cars and, especially for the storm-chaser in me, having 24/7 access to local weather reports is handy. That, and those computerized voices are funny to listen to sometimes! This is also kind of a rare feature, but there's the option for "OnStar", a GM-based service. Between 1999 and 2005, General Motors owned 20% of the company, so having that system in there is kind of interesting. Probably something we'll never use, but it's nifty to have it.
Regardless, it's a solid car as-is. There's stuff I'll learn as I perform routine maintenance on it, but in general I'm just really proud that we'll start off being "Mr. & Mrs." with two great Subarus!
