    My Li'l Red Subie!

    Hi everyone -

    My name is Alex, I'm 38, I live in Northern California and I'm the proud owner of a 2008 Subaru Impreza wagon! This is the third wagon (or wagon-type vehicle) I've owned, my first was a 1981 Jeep Wagoneer. I guess most folks these days would call it an SUV, but to me it was always a wagon because it had YARDS of fake wood paneling all over it! Although I got rid of it to save gas, I still miss it. My second was a 1997 Honda CR-V, which I guess is more of a crossover by today's terms. I only had that one a few years and got rid of it due to it's lack of adequate power. After owning a couple of boring sedans, I decided to dive back into the wonderful world of wagon versatility and did it right this time with my Subaru. Although it's got all-wheel drive, it sits low like a wagon should and it's FUN! This is hands down the best car I've had! Please feel free to ask me any more questions, I look foward to meeting you! Below are some beauty shots, check out the My Station Wagons tab under my public profile to see pics of the interior, spare tire & tool compartment and the spunky 2.5L boxer engine! :)
