Subaru Legacy Outback (JDM Grand Wagon) AKA The Daily Driver
Why is there smoke coming out? Hmm. Seems one of the heads is leaking oil onto the exhaust manifold. Better fix things before I set it all on fire.
The car is basically a Legacy Wagon with too much suspension. It's got a 2.5L flat four, with a four speed automatic gearbox. It's a 1996 model, so it's getting a little tired now. Time for a freshen up... but'll have to wait until the other cars are done. Consider this page a wishlist.
