Congrats on the new ride. Enjoy although I wonder why (aside from the mechanical issues of the X) someone would celebrate owning a Subaru. : Go in peace my brother.

I'm still wondering why myself but I figured the car would go well with the kayaks....

But seriously , the ride is really nice.

Because he speaks the truth from my experiences in Colorado (People's Republic of Boulder).

Subarus are the devil's handiwork. Sitting in one makes you lose all sense and do things like sit in the left lane of I-70 going up Vail pass at 55mph and slowing. Ugh.

The BRZ appears to be nice though. It just needs another 100hp. Maybe things are changing and the devil has moved on to some other marque.

I'll stick around until my wife and I sell the E70 then I won't be part of the BMW family anymore but I'm really happy I met some of you. Many of you were always there to help out. This is really a great community.

So long you crazy people
By the way my X5 is running great and strong as ever , enjoy the payments for the next 5 years.
