I picked this 08XT Outback recently as a daily. The WRX version of the Ouback. The PO had done some nice and easy to live with mods. It is quick but stealthy and a hoot to drive. I love the practicality of a wagon.

It's a Ranchwagon, actually. A hot rod I built starting in 9/2001, modeled on my vision of what a well-funded SoCal kid would build as a surf wagon in the early 60's. Just this Monday sold it on to a new home here in the PNW. (Breaks my heart a bit, but I have too many large toys.)

We had one as well. We nicknamed it "Christine" because it constantly tried to kill us. Its likelihood of stalling was directly proportional to the likelihood of you dying if it did. As an example: it gave me a 5 second warning of engine trouble before it turned itself off...... In the middle of DC rush-hour traffic...... While going 65+ mph.

I always assumed it was "shooting break" - as in something to help them take a break, maybe have some refreshments. I don't think I ever saw it spelled before tho.

Wiki has a good article on shooting brakes...early 1900's Rolls Royce was the earliest I'd heard of, but there may have been horse-drawn brakes as well.

We also call them Estate Cars, Shooting Brake is very rarely heard in conversation any more.

Any idea where the term "Shooting Brake" came from? I assume it was you guys...
