I Laugh at you snow!
Yesterday I got to truly enjoy one of the main reasons why I purchased my car (unfortunately, still nameless).
Though inches of snow blanketed the ground, I had no issues navigating and maintaining control of the car throughout my drive home.
The elements were brutal outside, but I was cacooned in my heated seat, heated wipers, heated side mirrors, and heater car, protected from the mean outside world.
I don't mind the snow as much anymore.

Do I hear the musings of a Clevelander for life?;)

Oh no, do not read into this further than what is written.
I will hold strong.

Scott and I always pronounce(d) Subaru as "soo•BAH•roo" because we are very odd like that. (And, if I remember correctly, it was Scott who initially came up with that pronunciation; so people can blame him.)
At any rate, armed with that piece of knowledge (and disregarding the fact that, having not driven a Subura, I cannot speak authoritatively nor affectionately of their driving characteristics that lend themselves to being aptly named), I would name a sooBAHroo "Sue" or "Susie." Then, whilst walking to the car with key in hand, I would sing the song Susie Q.
Baby, I know you... Susie Q. *insert guitar noises*

Prall, remove the "email address required" option in your weblog config. I hate those.

J$, you are the 2nd person to suggest "Sue" or "Susie". My dad was the first, for the same pronounciation reason.

Prall, go with "Susie". "Sue" sounds too serious. Cars are supposed to be fun. "Sue" doesn't sound like fun.

What's your impression of the interior fit/finish of the Subaru? Compared to the Prelude?
I think I got soo-BAH-roo from an excitable British rallye-race annoucer. It's right up there with "Honder."

I really like the interior of the Subaru. Granted I got one with all the trimmings, but I like the layout. Clean and functional. On top of that, no buttons on the steering wheel, which I like.
