6-speed manual transmission? Wow! The most I've ever driven was a 5 speed. That thing must zip!
When I was 17, I inherited my Dad's 57 Chevy Biscayne, fins and all. I loved that car! Back then the Front Range of Colorado wasn't nearly so populated, and I could drive 90mph all the way to Denver on Interstate 25 and hardly see another car.
If you want to have fun with a Suburu - either 4 wheel or all wheel drive - there's nothing like Wolf Creek Pass in mid to late May just before all the tourists start coming. The curves on that pass are so sweet to drive in a little Suburu that will stick as tight as a tick to the road. One time years ago, I was driving over Wolf Creek and encountered first one other Suburu and then a second one. The three of us fell into a little convoy, over taking slower vehicles one at a time and then falling back into formation again and speeding over that Pass faster than most folks would ever dare to drive it. When we hit Pagosa Springs at the bottom of the Pass, we all smiled and waved to one another and went our seperate ways. That was a great day to be alive.
