Yea, I have been considering a Subaru Forester for about 2 years now….my mom just got Nissan Rogue (really it was my choice for her), so you and have got some very similar thinking going on Chris.
That said, I am just going to go carless until at least next year. Considering my situation, I can't really commit to buying a car in Canada nor one in the Pennsylvania because I am not sure if I am staying in my current location at least semi permanently.
Plus, living about 2 miles from work, I think the responsible thing to start doing is bike/run once the nice weather comes around. My wife can drop me off until then. And, it will be nice to no longer have to worry about cleaning the ice off my car in the morning.

thomasnunnally, luckily no one was hurt. Bike/run is a good option when the weather is good. But if you have to wear a suit and do that in the summer heat (read humid) in Ottawa, that's another headache!

Haha yea, but I am lucky because the building of my office has a free gym and locker room. So, it may just be forced healthier living….

That car was cheap as hell when I got it new 11 years ago. I think $8400 brand new, so 11 years plus minimal work in the meantime. The car was worth the price, but the wheel coming off like that is a bit shit. And the 95-97's have a known problem with control arms rusting and breaking, with a recall, and I just don't think they ever fixed the rust problem. My dad's car was scrapped because the subframe rusted, my mom's car was traded in because it would pass inspection because the front end was completely rusted underneath, and mine broke because the control arm rusted through (the other side is rusted as well). So, I just wish they would admit it was their fault and a poor design.

Shouldn't be drinking good beer with a cold. You know better, Seul.

I've worked for Toyota for 10 years. They may be a bit pricy, but they have a very high level of Japanese attention to detail and quality. They're pretty damn indestructible. I can keep my eye out for a steal on a used one, if you'd like me to.

Thanks for the offer, I mean I am always interested in a good deal, but not excited about going through the the import process again.

So, I have two front doors on my house. Well, one of them is sort of off to the side, but it's by the driveway and easily accessible when going to and from the car. This "side" front door is our main access to the house, and all of our friends know that as well. We have dubbed our two doors the "friend door" and the "foe door." Today, before noon, on two separate occasions, someone knocked on the "foe door." Stop bothering me with your sales pitch about your religious beliefs or your door-to-door frozen meats or gutter cleaning service. Your door knocks are being screened. Also, stop knocking like the police. It's much less friendly sounding, and I really don't feel like answering when you knock like an obnoxious asshole.

Fever is down a bit now due to taking a Nurofen 400… I had THE WORST night ever... The fever had me thinking about one thing/ action from 5 am til 3 pm... AND I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE WHAT IT WAS... Sick...
I hope the worst has passed... Doctor tomorrow... Probably taking the week off... Sucks cause I have 5 days of holiday the week after... Although I'd much, MUCH rather be healthy and being able to go to work than be home sick...
I am getting the Busters tomorrow though...

I feel you. I woke up in the middle of night drenched in sweat. Guess I ran a marathon in my dreams or was breaking a fever. Also, coughing sucks.
I think it was so cold last night that the sweat drenched blanket froze on the outside of me. But then again, that could of been my imagination from being delirious.
