Welcome Rue
Posted on January 16, 2026 by Ching under Family, Toys.
We kicked off the new year by making a quick up and back trip to Olathe to pick up a new car for Brian. He’s been dreaming of getting a 2025 Subaru Outback Wilderness Edition for months now and we agreed that he would get at the beginning of the year, once we got past the holidays. We literally did just that.
Welcome to the family, Rue. BTW, Rue is short for Rueben (and it is also a play on Subaru – Suba-RUE, get it?) so Brian’s car is actually male. Anyway, I don’t want to steal his thunder so I’ll leave the blogging about it up to him. I have to say though, I’m kind of envious. New cars these days have so many fancy features. Driving a 15-year-old vehicle, I feel like I’m really missing out. As nice as it is to have a new car though, I still don’t want to have a car payment – which Brian does right now because we couldn’t pay the full amount of the car at once. He did get 0% financing for 36 months, though. So there is that.
As for me, I’m hoping to get at least 5 more years or another 50K miles out of my little Alex – whichever comes first. Wish me luck!
