Hello again, back after many years
« on: March 15, 2021, 08:40:01 pm »
Hello from Gatineau (Aylmer) Quebec! I was on this forum before as Laspalmas, now I'm Laspalmas1918. Just wanted to check in to see if some of the guys that I used to chat with are still here (Rut'Ro, Airbalancer and others) I also wanted to show off (especially to Rut'Ro) my new Subaru Outback ;D. I just got a new 2020 model (interest rates and final price was way better than the 2021 and the vehicle is identical). Wow, what a nice ride, it's a luxury car that can climb! I got the Limited model with the regular 2.5. I am really loving it as, since the last time I was here, I had major back surgery and got and beat late stage cancer, so this ultra smooth riding Subie is a welcome relief from the few Korean cars I had previously with unfortunately typically unsofisticated suspensions. I did not want to buy another car with a rear torsion bar and Low profile tires. I am too old now and I want to be coddled and pampered. I know Subarus were not known for being cushy but this new Outback is so so comfortable, absorbs almost all bumps and ruts and is one of the safest vehicles out there. So I am a very happy guy right now I have had the Outback for a little over a week.

Welcome back, Las!  Many of the 'Old Guard' are still around.  "RutRo" (or Snowman), actually passed away several years ago now, unfortunately.

Yes, more than ever, as I had major back surgery, then cancer, so I had a few years recuperating at home with nothing to do. I have done many commission builds and have made some decent money from it. My reputation on the model making sites on facebook has grown to the point folks around the world are sending me models for free to make so I can post them as they figure they have had them so long, they realize they probably won't ever build them.

I know I press on the "Insert a pic" button and it gives me "img / img" but I can't remember what I put between those two, how I get the link to the photo?
