Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.
Default Another Wagon!

Bought my 3rd Subaru last week! Legacy Wagon #1 (1990) didn't pass smog this year (maybe because the cats are toast...), and at ~206,000mi I'm not interested in messing with it as the body is not in good shape. So, I needed an old Subaru, and some friends were selling an old Subaru, so we came to an accord (they were very generous to us).

Here's what we got:

1995 Legacy LSi Wagon
~183,000mi
2.2L, 4EAT
I think just about every available factory option for that year: Alloys, fogs, sunroof, rear hatch bar, roof rack, window & sunroof trim, rear spoiler, cargo liner, dog fence, leather, premium sound, etc.
It came with practically new All-Terrain tires (15" ), and I had helped put on new front halfshafts recently, so those items were taken care of.
I've been replacing belts, filters, and fluids to get it up to speed.

It's a pretty nice old Legacy that will be great to drive around here and keep the miles off the green Wagon. I'll take more pics after I wash & wax it.

Very Cool!

I miss my 98 Green Wagon.

Oh...you might be interested in the four oem 15" alloy wheels I have sitting here from that car. They have Nokian Hakkapalitta studded snow tires ready to go.

Here are more pics from the Gerlach area last weekend --- a camping/peakbagging excursion (that's why I didn't make it to Mod Day).

Whoops! Had to try on the 6-spoke RS wheels, just to see if I should pursue another complete set....

I like the RS wheels. I had them on my old Legacy too.

Nice picture Nick, the white GC is the only thing that saves it. Scotty, looks alright. I've always been a fan of 17s though. Yes I off-roaded with mine.

Seriously dude, both my wife & I noticed that while the 16's looked great on the Impreza, they just don't do the Legacy justice. That car is just a little too large for them, and I'll bet 17's would be sweet. Except that 17's with street tires just can't go to the Black Rock w/o getting trashed (yes I need to raise the suspension).
