In what I would consider revision 3.0, I’ve decided to bring the old blog back to life with a few new posts, and a new theme. As always, it’s a work in progress, and could just as easily be abandoned next week. I think I’ve just grown tired of writing in sentence fragments, and needed a cleaned up place to put, you know, whole paragraphs! (Gasp!)
Of course I had to pull over, how many times do you get to see your odometer like this?
...and just 2,866 days to do it.
Time for some math (results rounded for human consumption)! That means I’ve driven the car just shy of 35 miles a day on average for almost 8 years. It also means that at approximately 20 MPG, I’ve burned up over 5,000 gallons of gasoline (120 barrels in oil-speak). Somewhere, Al Gore just shed a tear, and then wiped it off with a $100 bill. Finally, it means that Subaru builds a pretty solid car, because I abused this thing for a better part of its life, and have had nothing but a few minor issues. Sadly, I haven’t saved the receipts or know the total cost of ownership for the car, but I’d guess that it would fare very well against other cars of its age, and if I had to do it again I’d still buy it.
