You would be correct. It’s on the “No soup for you” list from VWOA.

This is just part of what is wrong with modern Subaru. They basicLly stopped making anything desirable to me about 2008-09.

I don’t disagree with this choice.

I miss the days when a Forester was a wagon.

I would argue that you are towing which puts you in a special situation needing something more than OEM equivalent, that the 99% I was talking about don’t fit into. . Also your application is common enough that the better stuff is as cheap as the OE stuff. It’s not that way for everybody.

Agree on everything except the brakes.

Again. For a daily driver they are fine. If you are tracking the car regularly or the like, then you might think about an upgrade.

Didn’t say they weren’t good, just said you don’t need them. The half the price Tricos will get the job done for almost as long.

Thinking back to my Autoparts slinging days...

Oil - even the cheapest oil that is API certified today is better than the stuff from 10-15 years ago. Actually this applies to most fluids.. Brake, PS, Washer, etc...

Bulbs - you don’t need those super expensive Long Life or hyper white tail light bulbs.

I have a friend who is a realtor. She says that this is the absolute worst bank to deal with. They are uncooperative and unreasonable during every step of a mortgage process, which invariably ends in them denying giving the mortgage at all. Bottom line, don’d do business with Well Fargo!

Truth.. I’ve been driving a borrowed ‘01 Civic EX with a D17 engine while I wait for mail order rear brake pads to show up for my 500 Abarth this week. It’s painful!

I came here to say.. I bet that Chaser is smaller than the current gen Civic.

Star for you sir.

Yes life expectancy has increased, and no doubt costs have increased as a result. But profits have also soared as hospitals and medical conglomerates look to maximize shareholder values. But what you are overlooking, if what you say is true, then lower cost of health care in other countries should result is lower life…

Holy crap. Someone who’s been looking at this from the same perspective I have been. This whole debate is framed around the an answer to the wrong question. They keep trying to answer “how do we get everybody insured”... but that is the wrong question.

From a strictly styling stand point. I’d rather own that Renault cargo van than that Chevy Bolt.

Also I just noticed that not all pictures of cars on their twitter account get that disclaimer. That GTI did as did a pic of a Harlequin, but I saw several pics of lowered Mk2, Mk1, and even a Mk6 GTI that didn’t have a disclaimer. So what dictates that one gets the treatment and the other does not.

What exactly was the point of this Twitter post in the first place? Hey look this guy likes his car and it’s cool, but “WARRANTY VOID, GO US!”

I just don’t understand the point of this message. If you are going to throw a disclaimer out there like this, then just post pictures of cars that are “stock” in the first…

Just another reason why I love this thing. I never lose it in a parking lot.

The automotive market in general seems to have forgotten that whole philosophy. That was the idea behind the GTI, the original Honda SIs, hell even back into the muscle car era. Dart Swinger 340s and 383 Road Runners were supposed to be everyman cars.

Now they are playing on nostalgia. They can milk extra money out of…

I want one of these so much! My short list had the Mustang kind of even with the Challenger for a while, especially the Boss 302s. However, since Ford has uglied up the current Mustang into an exaggerated Fusion coupe, and while the Camaro looks better than the earlier “new” Camaros, I’m really not a Chevy guy, That…
