I have a Subaru Outback. The AWD makes it an animal on ice. We love it. My mechanic says it’s the best car on the road!

I will never understand people saying a place is beautiful then driving a vehicle through it. Look at this lovely little pond surrounded by trees. Now watch me drive my car through it?

My fury at Every Single Car ad on tv these days -- people driving up rivers, in places they shouldn't be, destroying what little is left.

I'm sure you're ... what? careful? respectful? something, but still.

We both own Outbacks, we both live in MT, and we both do not drive our vehicles off road.

I’ve got to go on one of these adventures with you! My dental work is up to date and can take it (i think)!

Well, now I have to get the paperback (I don't do ebooks -- too much of my life is in front of a screen) AND get to look forward to that special edition hardback. Looking forward to also donating a copy to the middle school library.

Subarus were the go-to around where I live until people (especially people recently moving here) started buying ginormous lifted trucks. And unlike two other cars I've driven, Subarus have never managed to land themselves on a sharp rock and take out the transmission ... which I would love to blame on the vehicles being low-slung but both times were purely driver error.

“the best upgrades are the driver and then the tires.” Ain’t that the truth! Great post
