There was one very much like mine for sale up here for $1,200. She looked nice from the road, but what was wrong with her that they asked so little? Well, it seems she sold a day or two ago, so I will never know.

I need to replace the head gasket in my Civic, not another Forester.

By the way, my Ultragauge showed Bacon consuming .28 GPH at idle.

A couple of things that I always try to share: In all of the research that I have done on Subarus I have seen one post suggesting to replace the head gasket when you change the timing belt. The other is yay! The Boxster engine has a lower center of gravity! Except your entire car is higher, so where is your center of gravity now?!



Seriously, I miss my Subaru, but I miss the girl who used to drive it more.

Both required a great deal of time and attention.
I've heard Forester's are a lot more finicky than Outbacks, which I'm thankful I chose this one instead of the Forester the dealer was pushing me towards, haha.
