Out with the old, in with the new

The Audi was almost 12 and a half years old. It lived a tough life in the Cleveland winters. The outer body doesn't show it as much, but 12 years of salt has taken a toll. The rear shocks were pretty much shot as was bits of the electrical.Today she was traded in for the Subaru Outback that you see up there.We needed a car that was more reliable and could do a better job of hauling stuff around. The Subaru fit the bill while simultaneously being a car and a hauler. It's not an SUV; it's a wagon. :-DWe considered something from BMW or Audi to be the replacement of the A6, but with our present situation of not really driving around that much neither of us thought that dumping extra cash into a  car like that would be worth it for real.We still have the leather seats and all the fun stuff... but we left the badge behind. :-/ Seeing that we might tow something in the future (something like a SylvanSport Go for instance) we got the bigger 3.6l engine.So far, so good... I'm sure I'll have more to say in the future.  :-)
