Could be the charcoal canister isn't getting purged...check the valve that purges it? Check the large (3/8"?) hoses going to the can....mine was melted thru....had a gas smell for sure.
I had that problem with mine. I replaced the line and purged the canister and everything was back to normal. A ...

Mine ('85) was almost in that good of condition when I bought it. Its first two non garaged Minnesota winters were really hard on it though.

My 2006 Forester has a lot of the same features that I loved about my old wagon, but not nearly as much charm.

I sold the car to a guy I work with. He's really happy with the car. He even used it to move last weekend. He was amazed at how much stuff he could cram in that little car. ;)

Well, I just sold the wagon. $275.00.

I could have gotten more for it, but a guy here at work needed a car bad since he doesn't have one at all. At least it'll still be around. B)

If you want to drive to Florida, I'll sell you mine, cheap!

I think a guy at work is already going to buy it though. <_<

Memories of the car will probably fade the first time I have to merge into traffic. Yeah, it was a good car, but it served its purpose well, and it's time to move on.


Here's a pic of the new forester:

I closed a deal on a pre owned 2004 Subaru Forester XS today. I'm either going to trade my trusty old '85 POWA WAGON in, or sell it to a guy here at work. He's desperate for a car, and I have no need for it. Either way, it's kinda sad as I grew to like the frumpy little thing over the years, but ...

My '92 with a 22RE and 30 inch tires gets 22 to 24 on the highway, maybe 20 around town. I've always been impressed with how decent of mileage it gets for a 4WD truck with a large topper.

I'll be on my second set when I change mine in a few weeks. The first set was pretty nuts since I'd never changed them before, and the retaining bolts were so rusted that I ended up having to saw them off and getting new ones, which took a week to get from Toyota. I got about 35k hard miles out of ...
