Priceless

Parents Beach house in the Outer Banks of North Carolina: $0.00

Long weekend hangin on the beach with a fun teenager: $100.00

Launching full speed out of a toll booth: $2,002.

Weekend at the beach: well... almost priceless.



On our way down to the beach my transmission had a dilemma.... too much tork took out the first two gears. I didn't let that stop us. I drove the rest of the way there and all the way back with third through fifth gears. We really did have a great time, but now I'm paying for showng off.... ick. I won't have a car for two weeks,while we get the transmission replaced. Seems that Subaru had a problem with weak gears in the 2002 model. I am now having a transmission built with 2005 gears. I really hope they can stand up to my clutch. I really do not plan on drag racing any more.
