I want to apologize for jumping on Michael as well, and funny thing is I
know exactly what he means.  2 years ago my ex-fiance was cruising cross
country in her still under warranty Subaru Legacy (ack!!) had a small
problem and was in Kansas or Oklahoma, had to drive like 400 miles out of
her way just to find a damn SUBARU dealership.  My sister just got stationed
at Ft. Sill with her Subaru and is in the same boat, course not much call
for a 4wd Impreza in the heartland, people must think she's crazy.  I was in
Italy for a couple weeks last November, saw lots of air cooled Vanagons and
on a lark stopped at a lot where a single cab '82 was for sale asking was
like $8500 US and it was not in particularly fine shape.  Certainly is a
matter of location.
