Spot the Subaru out there.
-mike
Best of Luck to you, Adam, Alex, and the rest of your team. Have a safe trip down there.
Mark
I guess 92k miles in my case is "low miles".
Not actively selling until April, probably, as I have to see the 08 Tribeca at the NY Auto Show before I decide what I'm gonna do.
The Fence is safe, for now.

The Subaru Crew Chat is on tonight. The chat room opens at 8:45PM ET Hope to see YOU there! Check out the schedule

They have body guys that specialize in repairing those plastic bumper covers that get dented like that- maybe they can "pop" yours out?
I tried the hair dryer thing and trying to push the dent out from the inside-it didn't work- that plastic is really tough!
I heard a heat gun might do the trick though. But I was worried about the paint with the heat gun so I didn't try it.
tom
I would wait for summer to roll around and let the bumper bake out in the sun, then rub the dent out.
-Dave
But seriously, maybe some sort of suction to pull the dent out? Bob said access to the back of the bumper was impeded.
-juice
Anyway, removing the bumper will avail access ti its back.
I still think letting it bake in the sun would work better as the entire bumper will be at the same temp.

Cheers Pat.
A stuttering problem on the legacy we had about 2 years ago came back. Could be a problem with the TPS, IAC, or some other ignition issue. We ordered up new plugs, wires, and fuel filter, disconnected the TPS and took it down the road, no issue, we'll see how it goes during the morning practice.
-mike
:P
Good luck getting the stutter fixed!

Our weekend is really booked up, but with kids it's almost easier to keep 'em busy.

Any how, I have great news - we have successfully lobbied SoA to begin accepting Subaru Bucks on Certified Pre-Owned vehicles!
Previously, Subaru Bucks specifically stated that they were only for "New" products. We managed to convince them that Pre-Owned is not used, and that the certification process and especially the new warranty are essentially new products.
This will help SoA get the CPO program off the ground - I checked on Cars.com and they didn't even list Subaru as having such a program! I bet in a few months that changes.
Any how, the announcement will come in about a month or so, but I'll let you in on this little secret because let's face it, membership in the Crew has its privileges.
Cheers! :shades:

An old friend...wonder who that could be?

Tried to fix the problem of the cutting out of the engine.
Started off swapping out wires, fuel filter, fuel pump.
Made it worse, figured it was the pump, put back the walbro pump. Still an issue, swapped back the wires, same problem. Went back to stock fuel filter (actually no filter) fixed the worse problem, but still the cutting out problem.
Swapped back in the new pump from an RS bled brakes and was going to test it, popped a front SS Line,
Overall a pretty expensive and poor day.
Tomorrow we'll swap the lines and see what happens...

mike - sorry to hear that, did you get any snow, or was it just rain down there?
If you need a place to do a "pit stop" on the way home, gimme a call on my cell. I have a car port and at least a decent amount of tools.
We got wet snow up here, about 4" or so. Took the Forester out (with snow tires) to play around a bit, they're awesome. There was this Acura TL, brand new, stranded on my block, couldn't make it up the slushy hill with FWD.
So much for traction control! I had the kids with me but I went home and brought some sand, but by then a guy in a Grand Cherokee had pushed him up the hill.
Funny thing is I drove there and didn't even notice it was slippery!
-juice
On a side note, looking for a used LGT 5MT now for a daily driver.
-mike
Sorry to hear about all the misfortunes you had over the weekend. At least it's the begining of the season, right?
Is the used LGT instead of the GTO you wanted?

One fellow I work with had the transmission go out on his Saturn on the way in to work, and after making some arrangements w/his wife, drove his van in. A couple miles from the office a car pulled in front of him... coulda been much worse, but he was able to do some careful avoidance in the snow and ended up only getting the side mirror folded in - no other dings or dents, amazingly. Poor guy was less than a foot from losing both of his family's vehicles in the same day!!
Anyway... it's just starting to melt in the sunshine now, but it'll be gone in a day-and-a-half, I bet, when the rain moves in. Get ready, midwesterners... it's headed your way now!
How'd our Spokane & Idaho folks fair? Still getting snow?
As usual, it's sunny and there's no snow on the ground in town.
Last week's snow was nice and wet, and made for great snow men. We built one about 6' high at my daughter's school.
The cool part was that she showed all her friends the next day. :shades:
-juice
But the Subaru ('98 OBW Ltd 5 spd) with Blizzaks at all four corners goes through the snow pretty good. Just need a couple more inches of clearance. :P

- Ishigami retires after leading company to three consecutive sales records
Subaru of America, Inc. today
announced that Mr. Tomohiko Ikeda has been appointed chairman, president and
chief executive officer effective April 1.
And this after we met the outoging Chairman during the 48hrs of Tristate in January where Mr. Ishigami had seemed interested in what we were doing and why.
Mark
Lots of snow, however, here (eat your heart out, Steve!)

30 inches last week - getting dumped on again!
Cheers!

Haven't heard anything about the new guy, I hope he's progressive and e-savvy.

Hey Paul, how much is it to rent the whole mountain? (It says you can on their website)
I'll have to come over and ski in Idaho sometime- I heard the snow there's great!
Was down at Mt Hood last week- was a lot of fun and great for the kids.
enjoy while it lasts Paul!
tom
153 inches at the summit! And the snow is really good - softens up just nicely for carving. Monday was a couple inches of fresh pow over groomed - perfect!
Cheers!
Paul
