Good info Mech! I keep forgetting you can do that on Partzilla. Suprizingly my memory was good. I saw a couple of 2000 frames on Ebay for way too much money. I think if i wanted to go that route i would be looking for a parts bike locally, sometimes they go cheap and you have a lot of extra parts

The Subaru is a favorite of the mail route delivery people up here, and they drive 'em until the doors fall off. I'm glad to hear that the brand has not fallen to the quality rot that comes with success.

Outback Update: We have had this 2024 Subaru Outback for a few months now, and i will have to say i am extremely impressed. It is so smoothe on acceleration and the standard engine has plenty of power for me and im used to driving V8s, maybe i expect less than most people, that was a big complaint with the standard engine, i dont really run an engine hard. It is very nice to look down and see 28 MPG around town, better than sticker rating, havent got the 32 on highway, usually 30 to 31, but i have trouble keeping it below 80, it just kind of sneaks up there, so probably if i watched that closer or used the cruise control it would get the 32. Plus we have onlu put about 3000 miles on it so far. The interior is very impressive, i got the Limited package so it has the leather seats, they are camel colored with black trimm and adds a good contrat to the black dash. There were a lot of complaints about the leather being cheap and not holding up, so far good, but it is perforated leather and i can see how that wouldnt be as strong as full leather, like the jeep has, which is still perfect after 11 years, never were the most comfortable seats but they held up well, all the different makes we looked at had the same perforated leather, never did see one with full leather like you used to get, maybe the Lincolns, Mercedes and some of the other $100,000 plus vehicles that is an option.
