Default Thanks

Thanks for all the very relevant inputs! I didn't mention it, we also have a second 8th gen Accord and a big redneck crew cab truck, so we have no shortage of back up baby-mobiles. So 4 running cars right now, including the STi.

I get what some of you are saying about having baby seats in the back, to share the experience of driving when they can appreciate it (and do it simultaneously with both twins). It would be pretty sad to have to leave one behind if I go for a spin in a Lotus/RX7/2 seater. Maybe a McLaren F1 is a good alternative!

I also have some project cars (an older subaru and a fiero) from long ago that have been couched due to life getting every-busier. I'm slowly getting the 'urge' to work on them again, and completing the backlog of supporting projects (lift install, plasma cutter, garage stuff, etc).

I've been thinking of some mods that would make me want to keep the subie more. Some annoying things like fixing suspension clunks, worn endlinks, turbo seal, etc. There are some other wild ideas I've been talking to some shops about (because I don't have the time to take on the project myself), but nothing firm yet. I guess every once in a while it's good to get introduced to other people's labor rates, to remind you of the cost/benefit analysis of DIY.
