Gezundheit

I just bought a Subaru.

ETA: Here's a picture (of the model, not our actual car):

Wow. Progress.

[lawnrrd]

No, progress would be a flying Subaru. I will admit that it feels like a remarkably adult thing to do.

Bravo, sir

[lawnrrd]

Thank you. I'm so proud.

[nimuegrrl.livejournal.com]

It's just like mine, only yours has balls.

I love Subaru's...miss mine. Honda isn't as much fun.

What kind did you get?

[lawnrrd]

I used to have a little Honda CRX, and it was a lot of fun.

To answer your question, though, we just got a Forester. We had been sharing one with an ex-roommate (long story), and the lease is ending. We needed a new car, and we had been very happy with the Forester, so, after a little looking around, we decided to get another one.

Wacky!

[lawnrrd]

Well, for a certain value of "wacky," I guess.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I just don't picture you driving that brand of car.

[lawnrrd]

I bet I do a lot of things that you don't picture me doing. Then again, I do a lot of things that I never pictured myself doing, either.

Now there's a statement open to a billion interpretations. :P

I think you need a 67 Volkswagen Carmengia.

[lawnrrd]

Among other things.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

And a semi automatic rifle, and a girl in a bikini with a machine gun, and some nice sunglasses, and a long stretch of windy road? I think that would be awesome.

[lawnrrd]

Why do I have a semi, while the chick gets a machine gun?

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Because you are driving my friend, and you don't need all the recoil to interfere with the getaway!

[lawnrrd]

Your point is well taken.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Besides, it is your machine gun and your girl, so you can do whatever you want with them anyhow. :P

[lawnrrd]

Ha-ha! Give me enough girls and guns—and nearly enough bikinis—and the world is mine!

Well, guns and ammunition. Oh, and money. Drugs and bourbon would be nice, too.

Come to think of it, I guess the girls will have "feminine needs," too, but the less I get involved in that, the happier everyone will be, I think.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Not if they are cyborgs, perhaps. How do you feel about cyborgs?

I second the bourbon. I am sitting here at my desk, thinking bourbon and a girl in a bikini would make my day bearable.

[lawnrrd]

"Bourbon and girls in bikinis—they make everything better!"

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

That would make a good shirt.

Woe!

[dwivian]

You are going to pimp out your ride, right?

Re: Woe!

[lawnrrd]

Well, I'm going to put a child seat and a Sirius receiver in it, if that counts.

Re: Woe!

Rock the Kid Tunes, man. ;)

[fitfool.livejournal.com]

yay! I love Subaru. Which kind did you get?

[lawnrrd]

The Forester 2.5 X with the premium package.

[ernunnos.livejournal.com]

Oo, a lesbian-magnet!

Seriously, it's a great car. If I ever move to a cold climate again, I'm definitely getting one.

[lawnrrd]

We've been sharing one, so we know what we're getting and that it's a good thing. And, while I already tend to do surprisingly well in the lesbian demographic, it's never a bad idea to reinforce my standing.

[elephantgiraffe.livejournal.com]

That somewhat surprises me. Just remember that if you car and my bike make contact, you're most likely at fault.

Have fun driving in Manhattan

[lawnrrd]

Actually, for somewhat complicated reasons, buying this car means that I will likely do a good deal less driving in Manhattan.

[keightball.livejournal.com]

I got the '07 Forester with the upgrade package (one step down from the X Premium) and I love it- especially the panoramic sunroof and the heated seats. I've put 8k on it since I bought it in November, and I've got nothing but love for it.
