I owned a Subaru GL-10 way back in 1986, and it was economical, had room, a hatch, and besides the funny flat four noises and being a bit slow, it was smooth and vibration-free. At the time, I was in the military. I did over 400 search and rescue cases and saved a lot of lives. Most recently, my American car make of choice simply ran out of options for me, so I turned back to looking high and low. I checked out Subaru, and I am very happy I did. As an older guy, buying a WRX came as a bit of a surprise to the dealer and to friends, but we just got back to Jersey from a trip to Atlanta and Florida. Wow, what a car!

I am the proud owner of a 2015 Subaru Outback and over the past couple of days, I've been stopped by two separate individuals asking how I like my Subaru. I love my Subaru. This is the first Subaru I've owned but have enjoyed its capability in all kinds of weather. I expressed to the people that gas mileage is great for its size and it handles well. One of the main reasons we got a Subaru was because we were a military family transferring to the Philadelphia area where there is a lot of snow. Moving from South Carolina to Pennsylvania required a vehicle that could handle the weather conditions as well as tote around myself, my husband, two teenagers, and two dogs. This vehicle does that!

We still have our 2006 Subaru Tribeca that we purchased new in Virginia Beach right after our son was born. We are a military family so we travel and move often. Our “Subi” has been there for us on the past six of our moves, including Hawaii and Europe, and it’s still going strong! It has great stories: Like a little dent on top from us removing our kayak from the roof in Hawaii a little too excitedly. Or this scratch from all the off and ons of my husband’s road bike as he cycles around the world. Or the little dents that I can still see in the back seat from our kids’ booster seats, even though our oldest will be starting high school next year. I was just looking at the car the other day and I love that we made a wise decision to buy such a quality vehicle that has literally taken us around the world! I hope that it continues. Oh, the memories it's still making!

In the military, duty calls. When I had to drive my 1986 Subaru GL from northern Texas to New Mexico in March of 2018, I was concerned for its age and mileage, but I trusted it. I packed all of my belongings into it and made the drive without a single problem. Fast forward to July 2018, I'm on the way home from a movie and a pickup truck fails to yield to traffic and runs into the side of my car. When I got out and saw the damage, I was surprised I was walking away without a scratch. Yeah, my Subaru was claimed as totaled, but it gave its life to protect mine.

As a veteran of this great nation and a proud Subaru owner, I have seen much around the world. But it is a blessing to see the areas here that I and many others selflessly protected. After departing the military, I sank into many dark times, and once I found the light once again, I also found my Subaru. I have taken it to Subaru rally events from east to west and many places in between. The first adventure to Zion National Park for myself and my Outback was amazing and full of wildlife sightings. At moments, it felt like I was the first to discover an area due to the low numbers of visitors and cooler temperatures. The way the light changes through the day is impeccable, and it’s always nice to see fellow Subaru owners enjoying the lands and parks we freely get to roam. So get out and adventure more in your Subaru, and I hope to find you on the open road!
