    ...would be a lot less frustrating without these infernal things everywhere...and they all have the required "mountain adventure" cargo box on top. Getting stuck behind one of these stupid cars coming out of the canyon is guaranteed to be the most frustrating 20 minutes of my day.

    Unless someone here owns one of these things. In that case forget everything I just wrote. Wow...you must go on so many adventures. :D

    If I have to read another bumper sticker I think I am going to go postal, every car in Colorado has to have at least three bumper stickers complaining about something :)

    Many women in flannel and comfortable shoes drive the outback. Nothing hot about the chick in the Outback with her two labs and a mullet.

    Or the retiree who is in NO hurry to get anywhere. That seems to be the majority of who live up the canyon and drive these things. Actually, I'm kind of envious. I wish I was a retiree with no place to be and no hurry to get there.

    Rich,
    You should have been here in the 80s when most cars were so underpowered that the combination of steep grades and high altitudes made getting around painfully slow. Remember that you are in Boulder County where most people believe that by making you go slow, they are saving children and the planet.

    True, Dave. I'm sure they'll be going even slower when I'm on their tail in the 328 come spring. :D

    Also, true, but it sure makes it an entertaining place. :) Kookiness is funny to me.

    How to speak Boulder:
    "No, man, I don't have any spare change."
    "Yes, I'm registered to vote."
    "Sorry, I don't have time to discuss gay/lesbian rights."
    "The medical dispensary is over there, next to the doc who'll prescribe it for you."

    Just wait for all the roads to be plugged up with cyclists. They have a serious attitude problem in Boulder. You'll be wishing for more Subarus.

    That's when I slow down and give them a good dose of a catless CIS 80's Ferrari. They'll turn green and beg me to speed up.

    Or write your plate down, call their buddy at the police office to get your address and barage you with pamphlets about green energy and many use of petruli oil.

    You don't know much about Boulder cops. I don't think these people have too many friends of the tree hugger persuasion. :D

    Boulder police officer Sam Carter is suspended and under investigation in connection with Tuesday's shooting of an elk.

    Boulder police officer Brent Curnow is on suspension and under investigation in connection with Tuesday's fatal shooting of an elk.

    Former Boulder police officer Eric Shunglik Lee resigned following a 2011 federal firearms charge.

    Former Boulder police officer Christian McCracken faces trial for attempted murder.

    Boulder police officer Scott Morris is on administrative leave following a DUI charge.

    Boulder police officer Elizabeth Ward is on administrative leave following a DUI charge.

    They're pratical and are probably one of the most sensible cars to buy in Colorado...just like a mini-van in the rest of US suburbia. And just like a mini-van, my wife said she will divorce me if I ever buy her a Subaru. ;)

    That's funny....one of my guys was just complaining about having to detail another Subaru. Most of them look like they have been living in them and usually have dog hair everywhere.

    After her first tough winter, she may be begging for one. We have had two, an outback and a STI. We enjoyed both. Right now, nothing in the Subaru line fills our needs, but if that changes, we'd buy another in a heartbeat. Many years ago, Subaru execs came to Colorado to find out why half their US sales were here. It was said you knew you had moved to CO when you traded your Mercedes for two Subarus. They are more popular everywhere now but I would wager Colorado still has more per capita than anywhere else.

    No wonder. I see one on display near the lifts almost every time I'm out there.
