Hello, all...
Rob (I believe it's Carbon Rob) stopped me walking into the NR Giant Eagle last night and suggested I drop in. At 37 and with two child-seats in the back of the car, I'm probably older than most of the folks here. Hopefully you won't hold that against me.
I've got an '05 Legacy GT Limited Wagon with nearly 100k miles, but I tell anyone who will listen that there really isn't any other car I'd rather have -- for any amount of money.
Fine, I'd rather have an Audi RS6 Avant with its V-10 TT -- but you can't buy it here, and it'd be $150k.
So, hopefully I'll see some of you out there, and when I can, I'd love to attend one of your events.
Thanks for having me.

It doesn't offer anywhere near the performance that's advertised, but I like what it does to the powerband. I get a pretty big kick in the low/mid-range. I like that. I also like the sound.  I drive *A LOT*. But I promise that one look at my car inside and out, and I think you'd figure it for 20k-25k miles.

Awesome! Will we see you tonight at QS&L? BTW- your SPT intake may give you a little low end response, but have you thought about gettin' her tuned? I'm not sure how LGT's are tuned, but I'd imagine it's fairly similar to our WRX's. A good tune can give you 10-20WHP on top of your stock car. It's a sunk cost and fairly expensive, so you may have already considered the option  _________________

It's a sunk cost and fairly expensive, so you may have already considered the option Yes, I've driven an LGT with the Cobb AP that was tuned at Buschur, and it's quite fantastic. I don't remember what the final WHP numbers were, but the "butt-dyno" tells me that it's a lot more powerful than my stock LGT. The biggest obstacle is the $700 cost, plus the additional tuning cost.
