My hobby is old VWs, but I love my Subaru!

Hello fellow Subie owners. My name is Jamie, and I live in Lewiston. My daily driver is a white '95 Subaru Legacy wagon, which at the moment has over 232,000 original miles! As the title says, I'm a Volkswagen enthusiast, but I gotta say, after driving my Subie, I'm pretty impressed with it as far as reliability goes.

I bought my '95 Subaru off my father a few months back, and even though it's not the peppiest (or prettiest) of Subarus, I enjoy driving it. The Legacy needed work so I got it cheap. I needed the car to pass an inspection so I had to replace both rear struts, inner and outter tie rod ends, valve cover gaskets, and ball joints. Talk about work! This was just enough to get a nice shiney new yellow inspection sticker, thankfully!

My other ride/hobby/habit is my '59 Volkswagen euro Beetle. She's completely stock except for the 1600cc motor I installed. The stock 1200 engine was tired and slooooowwwwww so I figured I would give the '59 a little more power. This is a Subaru site so I won't bore you about my V-dub.

I'm glad I came across the site, and maybe I'll see some of you around. Be sure to wave and say hello. I'm always happy to meet others who share a common hobby of cars in general, no matter what make or model it is.

I'll probably catch hell for this from any New England Patriot's fans that may be on the forums, but my license plate is CWBY FAN. Been a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan for years, so the Subie is decked out in Cowboy's swag. You can't miss it hehe.

LOL, if I was a bandwagon jumper, I think I would have bailed off it by now hehe:lol:. 12 seasons with out winning a playoff game has been pretty upsetting, but I'll stick with them no matter what. Win, Lose, or Tie, I'm a Cowboys fan 'til I die.

Thanks for the comments.

 
Welcome! Post up some pics of your VW. I'm a big fan of antique cars and hope to own one someday.

 
Welcome! Have you seen the vw beatles with the sti engines in them? Completly insane. Oh and I wont hold you being a cowboy fan against you...

The cowboys. the last time I was a fan of this ...1983?

Thanks for all the messages, I appreciate the replys.

I have definately seen the VW Beetles that people have modiefied with Subaru motors. Just insane! I would love to do a project like that!

I'll get some pictures together of my '59 as soon as I can and post them in the members rides section since a couple of you have asked to see them.
