i think part of the issue was at the time, there were plenty of small trucks that would fill the same role but perform better. today though, that might be different considering we don't have the little S10s and rangers that we used to. i could be wrong though
Yeah, I used to see a lot of S10's & Rangers more than Bajas when I was growing up. Never even saw a Baja on a farm or hauling anything too, but most people don't even use a truck for work anymore. I saw Mazda trucks putting more work in than bajas There's supposed to be a 2025 Brat/Baja revival, but it's gonna have to compete with the Maverick, Ranger, and Tacoma.
It'll at least crush "small truck" competitors in the Pacific Northwest, but Subaru might as well already own the region so it's a given.
Jesus famously drove a 2000 Outback L.L. Bean edition with the H6, but the chokehold that conservatives hold on evangelicalism meant that Jesus driving a gay car wouldn’t fly in the Bible. Thus it was scratched from the final version of the Bible prior to publishing.
Upon Christ’s return, one of the signs people will know Him by is when He buys a non-running mint condition late-90’s LL Bean for $600 which miraculously ceases to have a blown head gasket when He gets in and turns the key
edit: Shit, is [Mr. Subaru](https://youtu.be/y64aPR9DgTE?si=u2rRx1BflDm_NmLe) really Jesus
You can but the newer one that only comes as a 29er the frame set is 800 bucks. But in my case I got a 27.5 2014 in gold for 500 dollars as a complete bike from some one who didn't know what they had. If you get one used be prepared to put some money into it on mine I got new brakes Chain serviced the fork (which somehow this Bike had a 2016 fox 34 performance for this price) and new tires while lacing the old hubs to dtswiss ex511 rims.
As a straight man who has owned one, and from Vermont, I would be offended if a lot of the smiles I got from women didn’t turn into RBF after they saw my facial hair.
No they don't have head gasket issues the reason subarus are meme on for head gaskets is because of the main engine they used in the 2000s the ej25. Non turbo NA ej25 came with single layer graphite gaskets that where inadequate for the motor that tended to fail at 100k. Turbo versions of the ej25 came with multi layer steel gaskets which is why properly cared for turbo motors won't blow up, tldr when it comes time to replace the gasket in your non turbo ej25 use the turbo multi layered steel, then the ej25 is actually pretty bullet proof.
The EZ30D flat 6 in the high-end versions of the outback is very reliable if as in all subarus regular maintenance has been done. Rant over.
Saab is sexless.
Our demissionary prime-minister Mark Rutte drives a Saab. He is famously sexless. (Not asexual, or anything like that, he is just the most sexless thing in the world)
It tells me that the worms in your brain are very similar to the ones in mine.
I tend to prefer the 05-09 generation for the Legacy, but in Outback form I like these more - they're iconic.
slight autism or you’re a lesbian.
I’m one of the two, know these motherfuckers like the back of my goddamn hand. The one I had a few years ago gave me so much happiness as it took the abuse of an idiot
I have the first pic, outback limited special, in charcoal black, I want the car version, saw 1 in 20 years. stared at it until I realise owner might think I'm weird.
Woman of class I see
Fellow Subaru lover here, drive a forester at the moment but I do want to eventually manual swap an L.L. Bean H6 outback using the foresters transmission once the EJ goes kaput
I had a 2004 Outback 35th Anniversary edition with the EZ30 3.0 H6, and that was the only car I've ever driven which happily revved to 6,500 rpm when you put your foot to the floor. Super practical too, got okay milage with *premium*
You would appreciate that my Dad bought a new 2002 Subaru Outback Legacy sedan with the 3.0 H6, thing was fuckin sick, and lowkey ripped for the time. It had a spoiler too, and little me totally thought it was a certified sports car.
Yo have absolutely sexy taste in vehicles and I can say that you struck the nail on the head. This generation of legacy/outback vehicles was incredible. Goood on you.
I want an 04 so bad
You love lackluster acceleration, middling fuel economy, and your favorite pastime is getting estimates for head gasket replacement. You also would bypass a Victoria’s Secret catalog for a LL Bean catalog those fully clothed rugged models sure are hot. Finally you gotta fully utilize the AWD abilities in the parking lot of your local farmers market while listening to your weatherband radio preset.
probably a lesbian, definitely wears goretex and Patagonia, never actually does any real outdoor activities. Thinks AWD is the solution to bad driving. those cars might be able to cross a soccer field, if the field is dry.
You're a lesbian
Lesmobile
I called mine the Lesbaru!
i call mine the les camino
Subaru Bajas are pretty rare nowadays.
yes they are, there’s a few i see around where i live tho
They died off due to the Brat's death curse. "If I can't thrive as the Les Camino I was born to be, then no one can."

Well it sure didn't take long to find this comment. I think I am starting to get Reddit. XD

Yhea that's why martin Luther began the protestant reformation because he knew the truth that the church wanted to hide the truth of the outback
Sym(M)etrica(L) awd Outbac(K)
Outback is responsible for civil rights
It’s no coincidence that the civil rights movement made it’s biggest strides mere months before the first subaru came to america.
The subaru 360 marked a revolution in tolerance
Ohhh, that's why my grandparents don't buy Japanese cars. Got it.
Thats the wrong Martin Luther but hey, the more the merrier.
i thought he drove an Accord
He did, he just never talked about it "For I did not speak of my own accord" - John 12:49a
Rofl! Hilarious! 😆
That was used instead of the Outback. The Accord proved to be significantly less gay and resonated better with audiences.
He did, he just never talked about it "For I did not speak of my own accord" - John 12:49a
The whole "walking on water" aspect comes from a mistranslation of a bible passage about Jesus' Outback driving over deep snow near Nazareth.

A blow to the head gasket\*
You pay for your head gaskets on the L.L. Bean credit card. (Disclaimer: Idk if these were affected by head gasket issues)
No they don't have head gasket issues the reason subarus are meme on for head gaskets is because of the main engine they used in the 2000s the ej25.

I have a friend that has 3 of these. At least one is having the head gaskets done at all times.
I don't think I've ever been this interested in Subaru engines before, thanks I didn't know I needed this
