The Seventh Subaru

Over the years there have been two Legacy wagons, one ancient Legacy sedan, two Outbacks and most recently a Forester.

Now there's a new Legacy sedan. 

Have these ever come a long way since 1991.

(Is it bad when you walk into the car dealership for only the second time - the first being more than three years ago - and the manager says he remembers "doing battle" with you the last time?)

Anyhoo.

When you and your babies have been in a car that's crunched good and you've suffered no ill effects, and a vehicle has pulled out of more than one icy road scare, you develop some serious brand loyalty. 

And now, for the first time in fifteen years, I own a vehicle that doesn't scream "MOM."

I think I love it.
