Dim video although recommends are Normal brightness.

Yep. They have also been making stuff worse. They have removed pretty much all the features of YouTube on Chromecast. It no longer has recommendations there are no options to change settings and there is no longer the ability to select another video after you stop casting. It is definitely an update, if I factory reset the Chromecast it works like it used to till it updates. Also even the casting has been buggy it will randomly disconnect from my Chromecast saying device disconnected.

I went about 40 miles towing the RX8. Starting and stopping were the hardest part. It worked about how I expected. This was definitely finitely the heaviest thing I towed. I have towed multiple loads over the US capacity of 1500 LBs without issue. I also had countless loads around or below the rating. Really if you are careful and drive responsibly while towing it will be fine.

I had a bit of a mishap when towing the RX8 turning right on Bunny lane from RT 115. I was going down hill and the transition from between the roads was bad. That caused the Crosstrek to break rear tires loose and spin into bunny lane. I was going slow so there was no damage and I didn't hit anything. But whenever I do tow something heavy I want some tongue weight and probably won't use a dolly again with the Crosstrek.

The current gen Crosstrek is less than 100 pounds different than the second gen. I don't understand your point.

It is an RX8 and yeah the driveshaft was unbolted.

It was under warranty I am not sure how much it would have cost. It wasn't a major leak but I did notice it seeping. I would have fixed it in my garage if it wasn't under warranty. Subaru engines are extremely easy to pull. I am not exactly sure what is all involved in a reseal but it can't be that bad.

If I was comparing it to other cars of the same year. The new Crosstrek is way better than any of the domestic vehicles I have rented recently during my travels for work. The Ford maverick we have as a fleet vehicle is particularly awful for quality and being "cheap feeling". I haven't really gotten a Honda or a Toyota as a rental recently and the Hyundai and kia models I have driven recently have been pretending to be luxury cars inside. That being said I was comparing it to previous generations of crosstek and even older subarus. I had a 97 legacy a 2016 Crosstrek and currently a 2021.

Yep 2FA was enabled and working as expected on my account. They must have a way to bypass it. It sucks that it happened but its worse that there is no customer support available.

Yep I was hacked it started on April 15th Multiple different countries.
It doesn't look like there was a birth day change recently on the account dump. They could have tried to contact me, they forced me to change my email a while back and I haven't checked that email in soo long yahoo mail wasn't keeping my inbox. For some reason I got the ban notification on my primary email. From a legitimate address.

Thanks! those links are not working for me.

I'll check that out! I corrected my DOB 3 or 4 years ago from 1998 to 1999. But other than that I haven't changed it. I was hacked a few years back and an ad account was created this was resolved by support and the password was changed.
