This wire kitty, named after my Frankie cat from long ago, was unglued from the dash of my old car and re-glued onto the dash of the Subaru. What a great team at St. Jay Auto! From financing to servicing, this was actually an almost pleasant experience.
from subaru.com:
"SUBARU" is a Japanese word meaning "unite", as well as a term identifying a cluster of six stars, which the Greeks called the Pleiades - part of the Taurus constellation.Besides the Big and Little Dippers, the Pleiades is the only constellation I have ever been able to identify in the sky. I have always enjoyed the myth of this constellation. And Subaru has a solid reputation here in the north country — you can get through weather that will stop other cars cold.
According to Greek mythology, Atlas' daughters turned into this group of stars. In 1953, five Japanese companies merged to form Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. The new corporation adopted the "Subaru" cluster of stars as the official logo for its line of automobiles.

I have a lot of friends who swear by Subarus and you see a lot of them around here. I will stick to my '91 Honda Accord, though, as I will not likely need to replace it now that I have retired. It only has 326,000 miles on it, so without the regular commute it should last for years more.lol (It will probably quit on me now that I am not commuting--knock on wood.)
ReplyDeleteWOW! Congratulations, very cool! I would have liked to have gotten a Subaru when I got my last car (a used Dodge Stratus), but I couldn't afford one!
ReplyDeleteWooHoo congratulations on your new Subaru :) Just surfing through and wanted to say hi and see how you have been doing! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking ride hope it does well for you.

Your wire kitty "Frankie" is very cute. What a great ritual to have, transferring him from the old car to the new.
