Behold, the 2006 Subaru Outback in Newport Blue Pearl. The photo isn't my particular car, at least I'm pretty sure it isn't, but mine looks just like this. As of today, we have been going on adventures together for eighteen years. She has just over 140,000 miles on her odometer. The chocolate ice cream stain on the passenger side front seat is still there. The younger son is responsible for that. On his first ride in the car. He has perhaps logged more miles in that seat than anyone else. He rode shotgun for the 2010 road trip from SD to Atlanta, Georgia and again in 2015 when we drove from SD to Seattle, Washington. She is on her third set of tires, second set of brakes, third battery, and second windshield. I look forward to many future adventures and thousands more pleasurable miles.
