I mean, we <em><strong>super duper love it</strong></em>.</p> <p>I can’t believe how long we lasted without a hauler. I love our Taurus, but it was never meant to haul big stuff. I cringed every time I drove from store to home with a new purchase sticking 5 feet out the back. The Taurus moved me twice, and I’m sure at least 10% of its 85k miles are from carrying my belongings piecemeal style, box by box, over the course of several weeks to the new place.</p> <p>In short, welcoming the Subie into our family has completely changed our lives. In appreciation, I give you:</p> <h1><strong>THINGS THE SUBIE HAS HAULED</strong></h1> <p>This awkwardly huge IKEA desk top:</p> <p><a href="/2013/04/subie-appreciation-post/ikea/" rel="attachment wp-att-950"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-950" alt="Ikea" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ikea.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ikea.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ikea-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>Our new toilet:</p> <p><a href="/2013/04/subie-appreciation-post/toilet/" rel="attachment wp-att-951"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-951" alt="Toilet" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Toilet.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Toilet.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Toilet-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>All of these yard supplies:</p> <p><a href="/2013/04/subie-appreciation-post/yard/" rel="attachment wp-att-952"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-952" alt="Yard" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Yard.jpg" width="512" height="384" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Yard.jpg 512w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Yard-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" /></a></p> <p>Me (in the backseat, for a 6 hour road trip):</p> <p><a href="/2013/02/meet-subie/newcar_1/" rel="attachment wp-att-947"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-947" alt="NewCar_1" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/NewCar_1.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/NewCar_1.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/02/NewCar_1-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>Three arborvitaes:</p> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Arborvitaes.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1570" alt="SaturdayYard_Arborvitaes" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Arborvitaes.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Arborvitaes.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Arborvitaes-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>“Hazardous” household materials:</p> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/HazMat.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1571" alt="HazMat" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/HazMat.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/HazMat.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/04/HazMat-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>Tons of yard supplies:</p> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Supplies.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1572" alt="SaturdayYard_Supplies" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Supplies.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Supplies.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SaturdayYard_Supplies-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>Our new IKEA bookshelf:</p> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subaru_IKEAbookshelf.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1573" alt="subaru_IKEAbookshelf" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subaru_IKEAbookshelf.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subaru_IKEAbookshelf.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subaru_IKEAbookshelf-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>A load of things for charity:</p> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subary_charity.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1574" alt="subary_charity" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subary_charity.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subary_charity.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/04/subary_charity-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>And our long-awaited television!</p> <p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/newTV.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1575" alt="newTV" src="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/newTV.jpg" width="384" height="512" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/newTV.jpg 384w, /wp-content/uploads/2013/04/newTV-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px" /></a></p> <p>Thank you, Subaru, for making an SUV that I:</p> <p>1) completely love</p> <p>2) can use to haul big things without actually having to drive a humongous car</p> <p>3) don’t feel like a stereotypical asshole SUV driver in</p> <p><3</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> </channel> </rss>
