Okay, I never thought *this* would happen. A Subaru owner decided to bypass the 400,000 miles section and go directly to the half-million mile section! No I am not sorry. Perhaps it has to do with the fact he doesn't speak English, or that I do not speak Swedish. Anyway, go to the 500,000 mile section for the whole story...
That's right! A half-million miles!
Rich,I finally took some pics of my beloved Subaru (see attached - if you right-click on the attachment, then select "open", the pics will display at the correct size.). I just put a new set of tires on her and it's like floating on a cloud. And, she proudly displays the bumper sticker you sent me. Anyone else in the 400,000 range? Pretty soon I'll be "upgraded" to the half-mil mark. Cool!!
Let me know if you need other pics or more info.
Thanks!

>>> "Subaru High Mileage Club" I got your check today, thanks.
The bumper sticker is going out in tomorrow's mail. It is in my mailbox now.
