Re: Rebirth of old law

[Sam Letzring <letzring@lanl.gov>]

I just purchased a '97 Subaru( with 5 speed & 2.5 L engine) for my wife so
we both have AWD cars for the winter in the Jemez Mountains- rumors are you
need them out here- 50 mile RT commute in to LosAlamos on very curvy mt.
roads- altitude from 8000-10,1000 ft.

Mine is a '86 4KCSQ with 200k on it- so we'll see how the Subaru stacks up
against the AUDI- Subaru has lots more horses! She still has car in NY
another month before we get farm sold in NY and she drives out here. Can't
wait- I haven't even driven it yet!
