Welcome from a 68 Polara (2dr ht) fan in a sea of Fury's.

Welcome from Virginia. Would love to see pics of your Polara. Is it a bench seat Polara or a bucket seat Polara 500?

Not sure I can get my head around "bigbadsubaru" as a name. I still think of Subaru as "cheap and ugly" as described in their early TV commercials like this one.


You might want to explain the name.

How the hell do you go out to buy a car and come home with a pile of crap like this ?

Haha. Those are quite collectable to the guys that collect micro cars. I would guess the big bad part is from the WRX. It will be interesting to see if Suburu steps the game up now that Ford has built a similar monster. Anyways, welcome aboard.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! If I were going to own a ricer it'd probably be a Subaru.

Can't believe that the only car I have ever worked on where the engineers were smart enough to install the brake lines inside, dry and clean.

Like rally cars right out of the box.

Welcome, as you just found out we are highly opinionated. How about some pictures.

First VW Scirocco had that too at least partly, however they rotted worse and unnoticed if rust set in and humidity was trapped under the carpet and some foam parts that covered the lines.

Soobs run them high on the threshold with the wires.

Explanation of the name - I used to have a lifted 84 Subaru wagon.. My normal forum name is Hondasucks but this board didn't take it, so I used my alternate.. I've had 20+ Subarus, last one was an SVX but with my commute (37 miles one way) I needed better mileage, so I've got one of those cheaty VW TDIs! Pics are attached, they're old pics from Facebook but they're all I can get to right now, I'll have to dig on my computer at home for more.

So how do you like the TDI I was considering a 14 Passat but never pulled the trigger, I think I am going to wait a year or two and stick my wife in a eco diesel jeep.
