The new rig:



2014 Forester. Just in time for turkey season. Not sure how I'll manage having AWD instead of FWD.

The old rig had more class... Wish I could see a photo of a big ol bull elk strapped to the top of that camry!

Well the problem with that is my hunting club membership doesn't allow me to kill big elk.

Except for clearance, Foresters are decent off pavement. Enjoy, and chuckle to yourself if Subie haters post up. Subaru: Not just for Boulder lesbians!

Getting it done is getting it done. That Subaru will work for sure.

Nice! I just recently upgraded from an old Honda Civic. Sometimes I still miss hearing the sounds of rocks/logs banging on the undercarriage

At least 335 days of the year I'm in NC where I can do all my hunting with no need for 4wd so I couldn't justify what a true offroad setup would cost for a daily driver.

And I can deal with the image the Subaru badge portrays lol

Nah I'm only losing 2-3 MPG. The Camry's been run pretty hard. I'll definitely miss the sleeper factor though.

What year Forester? The Camry gets 25-29.

09' It's got about 165k... mileage started off around 26 but has declined, not sure why.

Gotcha. In 2014 they switched to a CVT and it boosted the mileage a lot. Not as bulletproof though.
