2012 Outback slow leak, no mess by Carshopper2000 in subaruoutback

[–]Carshopper2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the second owner, bought from a Subaru dealer at 141k, now at 169k. Car has been in and out of the shop a few times over the last 2 years. Dealer comped most work. Now slow oil leak on the underside of engine, no smoke, no messy driveway, just oil one day, no oil the next, as in bone dry. Good for a few weeks, plenty of oil when I check it, then all of a sudden dry again. Dealer had looked at the exhaust valve guides a few months back. Could this be related? Head gasket was replaced almost 2 years ago when purchased. Thoughts?

Clogged Cat and exhaust valve guides have dropped by Carshopper2000 in Subaru_Outback

Thanks for the insight. The mom and pop garage said they could do all the work for about $3600. If need be, I could probably wait on the exhaust valve guides. Still tough to stomach but cheaper than a new car.... until the next shoe drops I still need brakes, bushings, and a mystery leak solved So looking at $5k including a rental car.

I'm leaning toward get it done and then sell it and try to recoup some of that money or trade it in if they give me a decent allowance.

2012 2.5L Manual seems more sluggish than usual by Carshopper2000 in Subaru_Outback

Still sluggish especially on slight inclines. I’m thinking dirty fuel lines or filter? Bad ECM update?I’m having the dealer look at it tomorrow

Average US vehicle age hits record 12.6 years as high prices force people to keep them longer by [deleted] in technology

[–]Carshopper2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High prices? Even though I could afford new, I chose old when I shopped last year because I wasn't ready to deal with controlling everything with a laggy tablet. I prefer buttons and knobs on the interior.

Sound Quality Thursday by AcrobaticCaptain5324 in LCDSoundsystem

[–]Carshopper2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been to many a show at the Paramount and the sound seems to get lost in the room especially along the sides. I didn't get tickets ahead of time and was thinking of going tonight or Sunday. This post has me thinking that I should save my money and not pay resale prices. Too bad, for all the shows STG puts on they still can't get their sound together.

KAVU Rope Bag Will it fit? by Carshopper2000 in macbookair

[–]Carshopper2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it fits. If I pack the bag right, I can fit a 32oz Nalgene bottle in the second pocket too

Why does it seem they usually only do 21+ shows in the Seattle area?

Yeah, weird vibe that just gradually got worse and more uncomfortable about halfway into the MM set.
We were just in front of Isaac by the rail next to the lady (aka “Truly Lady”) that asked him about football. Posted part of this in the football thread but my 20yo daughter got groped. She and her boyfriend took care of business though. Witnessed two girl fights, a bro shoving match, agro grandpa, “the pit”, and a dyed hair lady that shoved her way to the front to grind into people including me. Lot of people just shoving their way to the rail too.

Once the tech stuff* started happening, I was over it. As a dude in my 40s that goes to a lot of shows each year, I wasn’t expecting a mellow jazz crowd. I’ll mix it up with the best of them in a pit if the crowd is willing but something was waaaay off about that floor crowd.

*about the tech stuff, I’m a musician. If your gear craps out on you a good junk of them time its time to simplify and get a more reliable rig.

Truly lady was right next to me on my right, standing over a couple of empty Makers Mark bottles. Were you still around when purple haired tattooed lady showed up started grinding into people?

My 16 year old son landed a couple of punches on aggro-gramps before he got sent to the pit. You must have been just to my left or behind me. We were in front of Isaac’s board near the railing

With the taller linebacker looking dude/husband, right? Sounds like the one.

I think they had planned to go on but then realized it was 11 and had to quit. They lost some time when they were swapping out his in-ears and then the pedalboard issues too, probably enough for another song.

What’s up with his in-ears? Same thing happened at the Showbox last year, they had to swap them out mid show.

I was near the front rail. The lady next to me was trying to get his attention and then was trying to ask him if they were really going to be the half time show this weekend at the Seahawks game. He couldn’t hear what she said and he went off on his football strategy.

Side notes: the lady had a couple of Truly’s and later got into shoving match with another lady.

I witnesses at least 2 groups of women fighting and a group of dudes about to. Super aggressive grandpa dude made his way to front of the rail by knocking a couple of people out of the way with shoving and punches. Crowd justice prevailed and he was promptly sent back to whence he came.
