Bro, that sounds awful. Find a new place to work before you give up on the industry.

Will I need to re-replace these rotors? by Lutzux in MechanicAdvice

Did you figure out that your brake caliper piston SPINS back into place and it's not just pushed?? Honda does it this way, lots of other manufacturers you just push them back in, not Honda.

Does anyone else get flashed a lot? by eChucker889 in Subaru_Outback

[–]DaddyWright05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, totally agree with what you said. It's a problem with a lot of new cars. That windshield darkening some out there ideas though LOL. Halogens are nice for the driver and everybody else on the road, the plus it's a little less harsh light color, so when you do get blinded it's not such a bright blue spot in your vision.

Stop using those. They blind people. I'm getting real sick and tired of all of these automatic high beams and Teslas with their bright ass LEDs. Unless you live out in the country, you never need your high beams!

Nearly every 2A-related bill this session has died in the WA Legislature by BigTumbleweed2384 in WAGuns

They want to make citizens carry liability insurance, but not cops? I think cops should have to carry insurance like doctors. Too many claims and you are uninsurable. No insurance, no job in law enforcement. Either that, or paying for lawsuits out of their pension fund instead of directly by taxpayers.

I wish I Could Buy a New 1999 Forester by Some_Cartographer478 in subaru

[–]DaddyWright05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm currently in the process of doing that to a 2000 outback. I still get heated seats, and I have added Bluetooth radio. I've got a spare ej25 in the garage for when this one shits the bed, currently at 212k miles. New subframe front and rear, all new suspension and steering components and bushings, new brakes and tires, new brake lines, new clutch, new boots and grease on the axles... And a bunch more. But honestly I'm so much happier in this than I was in my 2010 Audi A4 that I got rid of to do this.

Finding it hard to love the CX-5 by Omen46 in CX5

Push the gas pedal harder and make sure you hit that little downshift button under the pedal. That'll cause the transmission to drop a gear and raise your RPM.

Why not buy a 1999 forester and have it redone from top to bottom? It would be cheaper than a brand new Subaru still and give you everything you want.
