Blown gasket

Rants

I have a ‘98 Subaru Legacy GT which has now developed the infamous head gasket issue. There’s 180K on the clock, and I just got back from Vancouver where I missed the ALT .Net conference due to a variety of mechanical failures. Ballpark figure around $2200 to make this go away. Who knows how bad the damage is, there is so much junk in the coolant now it’s hard to tell. I really like this car, but this is depressing. I need a 2005-2006 GT with a manual transmission, that’ll cheer me up.
