My name is Patrick and I just picked up a 2000 Forester L last monday. It has just inder 166k and it has outstanding service records and was very well kept.

here it is with my brothers Jeep just after we picked it up.

I purchased it in Sturgeon Bay from some elderly people who took great care of it.

they were selling it because they upgraded to an Outback H6 3.0 VDC with the McIntosh stereo.

I had to stop for the best cheese curds ever on the way home.

"off roading" on the ice of Green Bay.....

Giggity.

damn.

Right now I am obtaining components for a complete stereo upgrade. The only other mods I have planned in the nar future are a hitch for my bike rack and Silverstars in the head and fog lights.

here is the car it replaced, I will miss the Jetta. a link to a thread about it in another forum: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4715395

Today was a nice sunny day so I went for a drive along the bay just north of here.

The ice seemed to be super thick because it has been well below zero for a few days.

We still haven't had any snow since the day I picked it up and it is driving me nuts. They are predicting snow again this week but, I am not getting my hopes up.......

Meh, being from up here I have spent my fair share of time on the ice. Almost all small lakes and rivers freeze over up here. The bay of Green Bay is usually pretty solid when you get away from the mouth of the Fox River. I grew up about an hour north of here on the western shores of Green Bay on the border of WI and MI. I remember alot of people that would travel too and from Door County (about 115 miles by car or about 20 miles as the crow flies) by snowmobile. There were many vehicles on the ice and many full size trucks and Suburbans so I wasn't nervous at all. The ice looked extremely clear in spots though. Judging by the depth of some of the cracks, the ice is about 2 feet thick. That is more than enough ice drive on.
