    misc_stuff_012.jpg Maybe you guys would consider what I just got is a mini-wagon.
    I needed something I could use to move stuff with on occasion.
    Ended up getting a 1997 Subaru Legacy Brighton Wagon.Got it from the origional owner-it has 143,000 miles on it.Great gas mileage and AWDrive.
    Used it yesterday and traveled 500 uneventfull miles.
    Gonna be my everyday driver as it's time to put away my summer car.

    Looks like a nice, clean, well-kept wagon. You've got me curious - what's the summer ride?

    WELL-My summer ride-which I try not to use that much is a 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora.
    I bought it from the origional owner about 1 1/2 ago with 65,000 miles on one.
    One owner-dealer maintained car-mint condition.I try to use it for cruise nights and car shows.Great car to own and drive.
    I have another Subaru besides the wagon I just got-but my fiance has had that car since August of 2011.

    Cool! What's the plans for the wagon? Modifying/improving/upgrading anything?

    I have some minor plans in the works but there isn't too much you can do about 137hp under the hood-lol
    Gonna do:
    16 inch tires/wheels-the 14 inch tires and hub caps have to go
    window tint
    new front and rear struts
    better front and rear sway bars

    Just wanna get it to handle alittle better but keep the car reliable and getting good fuel mileage.
