    Hello, I'm Ben from Central Florida, USA.
    I have a 2001 Subaru Outback that I'm having a hard time parting with.

    Thinking about a Prius and just want to peruse your forum.
    Thank-you.

    :welcome: Welcome Ben, There is a lot of good information here and Prius ownership is definitely not a requirement.

    I sent my Forester to my daughter in Bellingham WA, where she can use AWD, and bought a Prius for the Delta, where I did not need AWD at all. (I lived in Elko NV when I bought the Subaru, snows 10 months a year there)

    Not sure what happened there, I thought we were all being inviting, I was explaining that I would not sell my Subaru but kept it in the family where it would be cared for. I suppose you can always be insulted if you wish to be.

    He has made 7 posts, but only 3 are still available. That suggests 4 posts crossed some lines (spam? advertising? insults?) and were axed by the admins.

    yeah, apparently some jerk told him to pawn off his subaru on a family member and he went ballistic

    he's from the south ... something about insinuating his family tree had no branches ...

    Jeez, what's the matter with people? Two bedrock principles of civilized life are, don't give unnecessary insult, and don't take unnecessary offense.
