RIP

Sophie the Subaru, which I've had since 1998, died last week. A victim of the crappy head gasket design of that era 2.5l DOHC engine. Sophie handled amazingly well in whatever weather Minnesota threw at us, and had a check engine light that burned continuously for nine years. She had just over 189,000 miles on her. She will be missed.

I hate it when that happens. My 2000 Durango died last year with a seized engine @ about 165k hard miles. Lots of boat and camper towing and many, many fun off-road miles.
