I commuted to work on my bicycle today and an amazing thing happened, the wind was at my back in both directions.
Today was my lucky day, I should have played the lottery!
I tell you what Sailor, l’ve looked lustfully at that very car ever time I walk thru the new car line.
That should also have the premium interior with a nice sound system!
I hate the lane change/ steer ahead feature..... but each feature can be shut off independently. I would use it on those long late nite trips to a section on I81 or I95
Otherwise, I love the adaptive eyesight, especially going around curves. It took some getting used to...letting the car take over and not fighting the wheel for control. I love my Subaru.
^ it doesn’t take away steering control. You can still steer outside the lane if needed. Its just a slight feeling of the wheel getting stiff but it always startles me and takes some time to get used to.

A few months ago I posted somewhere that I intended to trade my truck in for a Subaru Outback. I still intend to do that, but I've been waiting to see if the 2020 Outback would be a simple refresh or completely new. Well, I now know the answer, it will be new, based on Subaru's new global platform like the 2019 Ascent. Supposed to be more rigid, better handling, yadda, yadda. No doubt, the real reason is it will be cheaper to build. Whatever, I still want an Outback.
So will it be a 2019 or a 2020? Don't know just yet, but here are my thoughts:
2020 will probably be more expensive
2020 will only be offered with 4 cyl engines - a normal and a turbo like the Ascent (260 hp)
2019 will probably be discounted as we get nearer the 2020 delivery date
2019 may suffer some accelerated depreciation because of the redesign
2019 driven, I like it (but only with a 6 cyl) - that may be mitigated because the 2020 will offer a turbo 4cyl with 260 hp (about same as the 2019 6cyl)
Probably can't even…

On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…
On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.

Nestle Nido is a full fat powdered milk which when combined with water makes a high calorie milk. I add Nestle Carnation Breakfast Essentials to add flavor and additional calories.
