My parents are down in Portland visiting this week, and on Tuesday afternoon they picked me up after work. "You've got an appointment with a hawaiian auto-dealer!", mom announced as they drove me to a local dealership.

On the ride over they hyped the Impreza, informing me of its safety rating and how it was a very economically responsible vehicle. I was skeptical. I haven't been interested in Subaru since Crocodile Dundee stopped being the Japanese automaker's spokesman.

A test drive changed my mind. My Hawaiian friend gave me the the turning circle demo, the emergency braking demo and even the don't-slow-down-for-speed-bumps demo. It was a fun ride. I drove it, and I loved the handling. Portland's roads are winding and rain is a daily event. With the Impreza, these aren't annoyances, they're features! The vehicle loves the rain, the curve and I'm a demanding driver.

Within 3 hours of test drive I drove home my new Impreza. It's an '05 wagon in red with manual transmission and alloy rims. All it needs is a name!
