Ed gets a Corvette, I get a 19 year old Subaru

Post by MrBreeze »

Well it wasn't the timing chain on the Kia, a bearing let go and grenaded the engine. So that goes to the side of the driveway until I figure out what to do with it. So now I have joined the dark side with a 1998 Subaru Forester. Winter beater for now.

No story Tom. The Corvette is something I wanted for a very long time. But something always got in the way. So after my most recent near death experience I said screw it if I got out of the hospital I was buying a Corvette. :D
