About 9 months ago, somehow, my accessory pulley ripped my belt to shreds on my 1992 Subaru Legacy. Pretty scary when you lose power steering on a mountain highway. Due to time restrictions, my father wanted to have his friend who owns a shop fix it. He didn't torque it back on correctly, which I could tell from the day I got it back as it had a kink on its rotation. Stupidly, I did nothing about it. When he put the radiator back in, he filled it with a minimal amount of coolant and it got an air bubble and the right side bow ended up shot. He "fixed" that too though. On thursday the fourth, My nightmare was realized, the pulley gave, somehow bored out the key and lost power steering again, as fate would have it on the same highway heading towards the same place. She's sitting at the same guys shop. I decided Lucy is coming back home and he is not to touch it. Now that I have written you a book which probably most won't read, I would like to introduce....Linus. Yes my cars names are based off the Peanuts.

Cost me $13k. 63,000ish miles. Runs flawless, not a damn thing wrong with it.

My 92 was a fixer upper when I got it, it's always had problems. Now with my 05 to get me around, I hope to begin a complete makeover of my 92. Never say die.

Welcome to the club of multiple Legacys. Very to hear about Lucy. Linus is very sexy though! I'd love to have the turbo'd GT model but my pockets say other wise. Instead I have a '98 GT that will be EJ22T swapped by spring.
