I'm going to test drive an Outback Touring XT tomorrow to see if I like it.

I am genuinely sad to think about giving up my purple car. We've been through a lot together and I just realised it was with me through my entire 30's. It has seen friends and lovers come and go. It has seen highways, backroads, mountains, ocean roads, ferries, muddy trails, snow, sun and everything in between. It was there for the best times and the worst times. It has been laughed in, cried in, sung in, dined in, and has sat with me during countless moments of quiet contemplation. Most of all it has never once let me down but sadly I think it's time for some other lucky person to enjoy it.

Bathe in its magnificence.

Everyone I know who has owned an Outback (or any Subaru) swears by them. I've seen some of them get to some pretty insane places as well, mate followed me onto the beach in NSW once. I think there was someone over on one of the 4x4 subreddits that had thrown a lift kit and some A/T's on theirs and it looked wild.

Do you currently, or have you ever owned a spare set of burnout tyres?

Nope and nope. I may have been a bit of a hoon in my younger years but not to that level. I don't think I've even lit up the tyres in this car before.
