Rally car.  He said rally car...  heh heh....

I don't think I'll be keeping these cars for 15 years like I've kept 
the 90Qs running.  If I keep the WRX for 10, I'll be more than 
happy.  The Outback is a bit more substantial so it should fare a 
little better.  Plus my wife drives that and she's a lot nicer to the 
car when she drives...
