Worst nightmare realized

The Subaru mavin, Hal, has just informed me that t3h battl3wag00n has, more than likely, a slightly leaky head gasket. This is my worst nightmare. I'll do a lot of jobs on a car, but on this car it's easier to replace the engine than the head gasket. You gotta pull it out to do the job, and I'm not about to pull an engine with 200k on it to fix it. I'm dumping in some stop leak and sell it. I don't expect to have it much longer. Maybe I'll finally get my Focus ZX-3 or something.

BTW: Hal is the best Subaru guy in the world. He's in Sparta, NC, USA.
