    It's all in the preparation. My 99 GT came with the front bumper pre-gouged from the factory. The dealer had it touched up. Could never tell.

    A year later, I destroyed the lower air dam when I hit a tire tread on I95. Had a new cover painted and put on the car. The paint completely peeled off 1 month later. Had it stripped and repainted. Paint lasted 6 years and 125k.

    I suspect all 07 Subies will get an aux input, or at least most of them. The folks there would only talk about what was on the showroom floor, though.

    Bob drilled them for a lot longer than I did. I was mostly looking around. He spent a good 40 minutes talking to the guy, John, I think it was.

    In fact, that seemed to be the theme. I was checking out the cars, while Bob was talking to the "hosts" at each booth. I'd have to drag him away to actually see the cars.

    He should save money and go to a dealer employee convention instead of an auto show! :P

    Well, what I learned is that the '08 Legacy may not get the Impreza-like front. The guy I spoke to has seen pixs of the '08 Legacy, and he said the grille reminded him of the Acura TL!

    I sure hope so. It's not a very difficult thing to do!

    Regular 87OCT. Gas is going for $1.16 a litre up here today. Thats $4.64 CDN for a US gallon.

    Cheers Pat.

    Yeah but your paint is so clean that wind resistance is virtually nil, so your mileage must make up for it! :shades:

    Thanks for the updates juice and Bob!

    Hmmmm looks like a TL? Well, there's certainly time to change their mind.

    Now to figure out how to retrofit the new stereo with aux in....;) :confuse:

    Cheers!

    all weekend .. sometimes i had to sign in .. sometimes i didn't .. always used the same bookmark to get here ..
  • fibber2fibber2 Member Posts: 3,786
    It is not just you, Brenda. Sometimes it requires me to log in, sometimes it will not load my bookmarked Subaru page, and even when it loads the Subaru page, all the 'new post' figures are blank. Click on any one, and it loads posts I read a week or more ago. I think the squirrels ate the gerbils.

    I had the same problem for months, I had to log in every time but for the past couple of weeks it has been fine. Go figure.

    Cheers Pat.

    When stuff like this comes up you can let us know about it in the Forums Software! Your Questions Answered... discussion.

    Mentioning it here is OK, but this isn't the place we'll generally be checking for things that need to be looked into!
  • Karen_SKaren_S Member Posts: 5,092
    Heard a bit ago that this issue was reported earlier today. Fix coming soon.
  • Karen_SKaren_S Member Posts: 5,092
    Chat will open in a few hours and yours truly will be your host this evening. :surprise: Hope to see everyone there....and please be gentle. I'm kind of a rookie with the chat thing. :confuse:
  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788

    Sorry I'll miss your debut! I'm not available on Thursdays until my son's baseball season is over in June!

    Hope you all have a nice chat!

    June?!?! I could only hope! :) (not really)
    Daniel is on two teams at the moment - school ball & a select team that will morph into American Legion this summer.

    All baseball, all the time,
    Cheers!

    Guys I have some devastating news, our precious daughter Anne Marie, had aseizure last night while taking a bath and she drowned. We need your prayers for her and us.

    Not so cheers Pat.
  • hammerheadhammerhead Member Posts: 907
    Pat... nothing I can say at the moment, I am just that shocked.

    Many prayers & thoughts of comfort to you, sir...

    Pat, I'm so sorry to hear the news. I can't even begin to imagine what you're going through. There's nothing worse than losing a child. My thoughts are very much with you, your wife and Anne Marie.

    You guys have had it so rough these last few years. Life is not fair...

    Bob
  • Karen_SKaren_S Member Posts: 5,092
    Pat,

    This is sooo not right, but you know that. After all that Anne Marie and your family has endured, this is just very, very, very unfair. My deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family. :(:(:(
  • fibber2fibber2 Member Posts: 3,786
    Pat, e-mail and phone message sent your way.

    Karen said it best - it is so very unfair after all you guys have been thru the past two years.

    Really don't know what to say to comfort.

    I'm so so sorry.

    Pat,

    Words fail at times like this.

    I remember how we all prayed and worried when she was ill. And the joy and relief we felt when she recovered.

    My prayers to you and Rita.

    Pat: I am so sorry to hear of your terrible loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your wife. Martin
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    Neither one of our PCs would get me to the chat last night, so I just now found out...

    I was so sad to hear that. Poor girl, she was a tough cookie to have made it this far. The man upstairs must have bigger plans for her.

    Gosh, I have a lump in my throat right now. :cry:

    Please let us know if we can help in any way.

    Pat, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Anne Marie had a lot of problems these last several years and it is such a huge blow to have this kind of a tragedy after she came back from the near-death illness.

    The only words I can offer is that she is perfect now. I know that her life was difficult but all of that pain and struggle is replaced with eternal peace. You'll see her smiling face again.

    You're in my prayers,
    ~Colin

    Pat, my heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. I so admire the strength of your love to your daughter and all you went through to help her these past few years. I cannot imagine the pain you must be in but I hope that our love and prayers help you through all of this. If only there were "magic words" that would take the sting out of the pain for you. Please draw strength and support from us, your family here, and know I am thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers. I have no doubt that Anne Marie is smiling down on you from a much better place. Love, Patti Mickel

    Pat-

    Just read about this now. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The only thing I can think of is at least she is not in any pain now. You and Rita will be in our thoughts and prayers. Our hearts go out to you.

    Mark and Helen
  • bluesubiebluesubie Member Posts: 3,497
    So sorry for you loss, Pat. You and your family have been through so much with Anne Marie. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    -Dennis
  • hondafriekhondafriek Member Posts: 2,984
    Thanks to all in the crew for the kind words and thoughts and prayers. As for the hard times we went through with her and there were many in the last several years, we would go through it again in a heartbeat just to have her still with us.

    When she was up, just to hear come on the phone hey dad whats wrong with my car? this is what it is doing, or as she often did Hey dad or hi Mom was just thinking about you and called to say I love you that's all Bye.

    Her very last words to Rita going off the phone Wed. were bye Mom I love and I miss you, a couple of hours later she was gone. Anne Marie was a much loved girl, she was a free spirit and one of the most generous people it has ever been my pleasure to know, she would give you literally the shirt off her back if you needed it more than she did.
    That's it for now I will try to keep in touch.

    Pat.
  • rshollandrsholland Member Posts: 19,788
    I know you are grieving, but it sounds like you are holding up pretty well considering. How's Rita doing? As tough as it is for a father to go through this, it must be even worse for a mother. Please let her know that we are thinking about both of you.

    Bob
  • Karen_SKaren_S Member Posts: 5,092
    We will be sending an arrangement on behalf of the Crew and Edmunds. I have an address if anyone would like to send a card to Pat and Rita. However, to protect their privacy, I will not post it here. Please send me an email if you would like the address.
  • ateixeiraateixeira Member Posts: 72,587
    How sweet about her last words to Rita.

    I'm going to spend a little extra time with my daughter this weekend. Yesterday she came to work with me for Bring Your Daugthers and Sons to Work Day, and I volunteered pretty much the whole day.

    I don't think I'll ever regret investing that kind of time with her.
