well, I finally had time to go pick her up today. I got her home and she is in surprisingly good shape. I need to put a new valve cover gasket on, and a new thermostat but other than that the car is surprisingly strong still. I cant wait to see how this car will handle the snow with the Hek's on it.

It costs more to register the car and get plates than the car.

well the clutch blew on the subaru, and since I am pulling the motor in a month or so I didnt want to drop the trans/etc put in a new clutch...then a month later pull the entire thing apart again. In the spring I will donate the car for way more than it is worth, and take it as a tax write-off.

It made its first highway journey today, and holy carp the cruise control still works. I found out I have a torn CV boot, and the front left caliper doesnt like to return on its own so I will go drop 90 bucks and get a new caliper and a half shaft and she is good to go.
