I liked the car for its chassis and fun to drive factor - it’s just great to drive in traffic, corners, etc.

The All Wheel Drive makes this car a blast to drive in the rain, and helps it maintain a rock solid feel in corners too. I’d guess it’s not too amazing in the snow though, due to the summer only tires (i never tried).

The car gets great mileage, it’s fun to drive, and it looks amazing.

With newborn twin daughters, and now with 3 kids, I had to get one of those big suv things in order to haul around all our stuff. So, the car has gotta go. I’ve only driven it once per month for the past several months (was hoping to justify keeping it, but it didn’t work out). Before that, I drove it daily, bringing a smile to my face daily!



I had a minor incident with a cooler in my garage, which gave it a dent behind the front right wheel. Jeesh! I received 2 estimates; it’s between $500-$800 to fix. This will be reflected in the sale price. Other than this imperfection that any new owner will want to fix, it’s in great condition!!!

The car is in spectacular mechanical condition - always maintained by the subaru dealer. Always synthetic oil, and always on time.

Entertaining offers over 19,500 for the next cpl weeks. A high offer may entice me to close bidding and sell. $24,900 takes it today.

Wanna buy it? Call me at 913.269.6953, or email kevin@netprofitservices.com

The father who, despite having a heart condition, says ‘Yes’.

They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying ‘Yes’ to his son’s request of going through the race together. One day, the son asked his father, ‘Dad, let’s join the Ironman together.’ To which, his father said ‘Yes’ too.

For those who don’t know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island. Father and son went on to complete the race together.

Now, watch the video:

This is how Washington should work. You do what is good for the people, not the party. Maybe if we did this enough, Washington can find its soul, principles, and spirit. But I think it might need to get a lot worse before we hit rock bottom and finally self evaluate.

A conservative believes that our inalienable rights DO include the pursuit of happiness. That means it is guaranteed to no one.

A conservative believes that those who pursue happiness and find it have a right to not be penalized for that success.

A conservative believes that there are no protections against the hardship and heartache of failure. We believe that the right to fail is just as important as the chance to succeed and that those who do fail learn essential lessons that will help them the next time around.

A conservative believes in personal responsibility and accepts the consequences for his or her words and actions.

A conservative believes that real compassion can’t be found in any government program.

A conservative believes that each of us has a duty to take care of our neighbors. It was private individuals, companies and congregations that sent water, blankets and supplies to New Orleans far before the government ever set foot there.

A conservative believes that family is the cornerstone of our society and that people have a right to manage their family any way they see fit, so long as it’s not criminal. We are far more attuned to our family’s needs than some faceless, soulless government program.

A conservative believes that people have a right to worship the God of their understanding. We also believe that people do not have the right to jam their version of God (or no God) down anybody else’s throat.

A conservative believes that people go to the movies to be entertained and to church to be preached to, not the other way around.

A conservative believes that debt creates unhealthy relationships. Everyone, from the government on down, should live within their means and strive for financial independence.

A conservative believes that a child’s education is the responsibility of the parents, not the government.

A conservative believes that every human being has a right to life, from conception to death.

A conservative believes in the smallest government you can get without anarchy. We know our history: The larger a government gets, the harder it will fall.

Those are the things a conservative believes in, and they’re the things that I believe in.

Now, if only I could find a candidate to match.” - Glenn Beck
