The vast majority of Forester’s are NA. They made some turbo versions.

Second owner (of 4 Subarus).

Sure it is buddy. If you believe it is true.

I keep coming back to old Foresters because they are so easy and cheap to fix. I just had the original 17 yo radiator fail, $66 to replace it in about 20 minutes. Is it super reliable? I dunno, but I just can’t find a better all around car. The head gasket thing has been beaten to death so much its actually a…

Buy an International Scout II. Open hood, two hose clamps, 6-8 screws, and 10 minutes later you have heat. It takes longer to burp the air out of the system and drink your beer.

My brother is an architect who does as much construction management as design. I have worked in construction. While there is plenty of stupidity in that world, far and away greed is the biggest problem in the industry. And contractors without a shred of doubt corner that market.

I predict a drinking problem for Mr. Jesus Engineering Christ.

LOL, go get ‘em tiger!

Yeah, rod bearings are much more complicated than witchcraft. First, I agree, they should last longer than that. But if you stop there, and don’t ask why then you learn nothing. Was it a tolerance issue? Did they push the limits on size in order to meet demands for less friction, better mileage, more power? Did…

I personally know many that do. There is a lot more at work designing any complex object than the image of a “clueless engineer” you have built up in your mind.

Wow, with your unbiased assessment you should start your own review site. So “Forester is garbage”? Is that some sort of scale? Rating of 1 to 10 garbage Foresters? I guess the thousands they sell in ever increasing numbers of people just means all of those people are paid shills by the massive Subaru Industrial…

If brand fanaticism is involved, heresy (or heresey) seems more appropiate.

I was passed by a truck towing a Ford Tempo with a chain. On an interstate. On a busy section of 435 in Kansas City. At 75 mph.

Feliz Navidad (to remind them of all the Catholics they are shitting on)

Jeez, I wish that shit didn’t taste like regurgitated battery acid. I’d drink it just to spite that crazy lady. Oh well, I’ll go find some satanic-themed espresso....

Yes it’s call Locked Rotor Current. You don’t want to hang around there long because the current draw is practically a short circuit. It’s vital piece of information when sizing the wire and circuit breaker supplying a motor.

Missoura is a small and generally poor state, but one with a rich mule-breeding culture. Missouri mules were the mules to have from the late Middle Ages up until the mid-1800s, 

I’m strangely arroused. Nice Crack Pipe? Crack Price? What’s happening to me?

I just average the fanboy bullshit with the Tesla bashing bullshit and the truth is roughly in the middle.

I do want to be clear, I’m not bashing Pratt and Whitney or GE. I think most aircraft is really safe and am glad the system of engineering, oversight, and overall level of care works as well as it does. It’s a rare example of humans actually cooperating with a positive effect.
