“The Apex of Subaru Engineering”, Kenyan edition

Or you know, just confirmation bias.

By the way, the top half of the ’02 Outback is a color quite officially called Savanna Green, which is also a girl name.

I am thinking of the lower half as a Rocky Gray.

The boy part.

Perhaps “offbeat older brother’ is being generous, or even: Too Nice.

Anyway, the only thing stopping me from buying it for sure right now is that $1200 rack and pinion job.

And the only reason I’m hesitating is: the dealer claims it was done.

While the mechanic says: ripped rubber, leaking fluid …

… both things cannot be true.

I will attempt to negotiate a further discount on the basis of that white or black lie, and wait, to have that repair made right at my own expense after I get back.

With Rocky. Or Savanna.

In the driveway.

With the mattress.
