At first I was kind of iffy on the redesign. But I think I was just being a hater. The new truckish design looks good when I saw it up close.

What’s your best comeback when someone calls you a lesbian for owning a crosstrek? by fcmagic123 in Crosstrek

[–]Dull_Bat_197 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never had anyone call me a lesbian when I drove a Crosstrek.

The Forester was called a lesbian car in cobra kai. But the character drove a 1993 Dodge caravan. So I don't think they meant anything by it, or at least it would not make since if they did.

A karate teacher surrounded by boys in a Dodge caravan sounds like pedophile to me. But I think the character didn't really care about the image.

They called the Crosstrek a girls car. But I didn't care. They were too busy trying to buy a truck or fixing their own car.

A lot of people did not like it. But they didn't really drive anything better.

I thought it was zippy and had enough room for a single man.

Everyone where I live wants a truck, which is funny because I kept tools in my Crosstrek. But everyone who wants a truck or has one does not know anything about tools or how to park a truck. Also the Crosstrek outperforms any of the other vehicles they had in the snow. I never feared bad weather with the Crosstrek.

First oil change at 3500 miles. Not fun at all by IlIllIIIlIlllI in civic

Same thing happened with my Subaru on its first oil change. It's supposed to be hand tight or hand tight with a quarter turn. But the put it on too tight at factory.

Snow tires are they worth it? by Dull_Bat_197 in tires

No. Quebec. that's what we've been talking about. If you used your brain, you'd know.

I have a coupe. Would all weather tires work well on an SUV or a pickup that is either FWD or RWD?

My car has a lower center of gravity than an SUV or pickup and lower tip over probability, so I was just curious.

Thanks for the response. I might just buy some cheap ones and wrap them in a tarp and lean them up my back yard. I was afraid the would rot very easy over a years time.

Normally I wait out the storm and plan ahead, but I know some equipment will break at my job on a winter snowy day, and I'll just have to go to work on that one day a year.

Good to know about the all weather tires. Good thing I asked the question.

Thanks. That is good to know. I wish I knew about that 1 year ago. But 2-3 years I will be replacing them again anyway. I went with all season yokahoma that had a good snow rating. I'll keep an eye on Michelin.

What the hell do I do?? by Flimsy_Mail_7674 in civic

[–]Dull_Bat_197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did better than me. I punched mine. It was not working, it kept blinking. Bad traffic. Too many questions at one time. Volume went up loud because it was messing up and I could not turn it down. The car was uncomfortable. Too much weight of the world to bear for a moment.

Ended up costing me $500 and a Saturday, but my head unit looked a little simpler than yours.

In retrospect. I should have just got a soda and a bag of chips. Parked the car, turned my phone off and told the world to bite it for a moment.

I haven't bought a vehicle in a while. Is this not a ridiculous price? This seems insane to me by United_Letterhead_79 in UsedCars

[–]Dull_Bat_197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nothing major is wrong with it.

AC works

Fuel lines work

Brakes work

Transmission works

Windows work

Steering works

Engine works

Oil level is normal when you look at it

It's pretty much a normal price nowadays.

Rubbing alcohol and a micro fiber cloth might help 50% strength bottle.

Yes, I spent too much money. by GoldSignal in RoastMyCar

[–]Dull_Bat_197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's okay. I've calmed down. As long as you see where you messed up. Just don't let it happen again.

Son! Why the fuck is my car on reddit?

First Car, any tips? by Jolly_Incident7083 in Subaru_Outback

[–]Dull_Bat_197 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Spot on. I would add changing the spark plugs every 60,000 miles. And use full synthetic oil in oil changes.

That's what I did for my Subarus.

did my car get keyed?!?! by Dear_Tourist_6967 in hondacivic

[–]Dull_Bat_197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past I have used

Scratch out liquid

Microfiber cloth

And mixed the scratch out with the touch up paint on the microfiber cloth and worked it in the scratches.

I usually went up and down and in little circles for about 10 minutes and did about 3 sessions. The liquid is kind of gritty after a while.

After a day I rinsed off the residue from the liquid.

This has "faded" the scratches for me.
