The newly acquired pride and joy
Here is a 1989 Subaru Legacy my roomates and I picked up for $100. We painted it with about $20 bucks worth of spraypaint and we are gonna take it off roading in the desert. Its having some transmission difficulties right now, so we are going to take that out and rebuild it. Then its off to the desert with this POS where we can hopefully find junk to smash into (couches, etc.) and to just fuck around in the dirt.
Its an automatic, kind of unhappy about that, but for $100 we really cant complain. 2.5L flat four, all wheel drive. We already made a craptacular intake for it but thats about all its getting. We were going to gut the interior, but the last time we did this with a car we only had the 2 front seats, so leaving in the back might be fun.
Anyway, here is the beauty
Before paint
After
The sweet engine bay, notice the custom orange and blue accents LOL and the blue tube behind the manifold is the new "improved" intake
this is how we have it set up in the driveway. this way, it looks official LOL
Hopefully we can get this thing destroyed relatively soon. I hope to bring back tons of video and images of that.

Oh LOL, we forgot to remove the masking tape so as not to get any paint on the tire before the pics were taken. We used gold paint for the wheels, going for that Subaru blue/gold theme, but it failed miserably LOL
I just want to get it out of here, its blocking my Nova. I cant wait to destroy the Legacy.

Thats my friends dog. It wandered off the street into his work one day and he kept it cause he felt bad for it. I like bigger dogs as well, but we dont have the room for one at the moment. The only pet I have at my house is a cat. Its a cool cat though. We got her for free from my friends tattoo artist (he breeds them). Its a Bengal cat that usually sells for around a few thousand. I like cats and animals, but I would never pay that much for one, id rather buy another car. But, as far as cats go, this one is pretty cool. Shes stripped like a tiger.
