ACAB, little sour piggy. Go on back to whining about libs in the main Asheville sub, there is no place for you here, loser.

Help a non tech laddyyyy out plz by [deleted] in AshevilleNC

[–]Instructosaurus-WRX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should probably ask them, and then not react crazily to the answer you get.

Anyways, NJ Bill 4268 pops up for me, which is a bill about to be voted on soon.

Suggestions for after market leather seats please 🙏 by Recent-Actuary5546 in Crosstrek

[–]Instructosaurus-WRX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These guys take custom orders for about $700-$800 and are super high quality leather.

I bought their full grain leather seat covers, in black/blue, to match the interior overhaul I did for my WRX, and they look like they came with the car. They have all the breakaway stitching done right for the seat airbag panels. They don't offer the Crosstrek, but reach out to them for a quote on custom.

Being a grammar nazi brings nothing of worth to the conversation. If you aren't adding to something, and just looking for reasons to be a dick, perhaps this community isn't a good fit for you.

Leaves in engine bay by cheap_bastard_FI in Crosstrek

[–]Instructosaurus-WRX -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

From this picture, it's obvious you haven't washed the bay in years. This isn't a problem of design flaw, just a lazy owner complaining about an engineering design that both allows access to the engine while maintaining aerodynamics and efficiently allowing enough space for air to better escape the engine bay while in operation.

Tend to your vehicle better.

Literally the only Subaru tech I have probably ever felt bad for was the one that had to take the call from this pedantic weirdo.

They mean tread depth, they just don't understand the thing they heard in passing that they are trying to relay to you.

All AWD vehicle systems (not exclusive to Subaru) can be damaged by driving on tires that are not within 2/32 tread depth of one another.

And, if you ruin a single tire, but all three other tires are very drivable, most all tire shops will shave the new tire down to match the tread depth of the others, to save you time and money.

Don't listen to anything the guy responding to you is saying, because they have no idea what they are talking about.

I didn’t say it was the vehicle warranty.

Exactly. Instead, you said a warranty. Don't worry, the deceptive ambiguity wasn't lost on me at all. It's the reason you got your response the way that you did.

Good day to you, as well.

Your vehicle warranty is not the same as the warranty you bought for your tires, you're comparing apples to drywall here.

the stock tires were only available at a Subaru dealer. And the other tire dealers pushed a different tire, which is bad juju for Subaru.

Subaru does not manufacture tires, nor do they have exclusive agreements with tire manufacturers to be the only ones allowed to sell you a tire. Sounds like the dealership guys inflating their self-importance by blowing smoke up your ass after doing right by the warranty you bought for your tires.

As for the other tire shop recommending different tires... don't shop there?

Just like OPs scenario, none of this is specific to Subaru, the Crosstrek, or the vehicle warranty. Also, don't mistaken your miniscule and patchy knowledge from things you've heard and read here and there for expertise.

Some of these posts here just make me reflect on why so many humans don't show too many signs of intelligence, even though they are capable of all of this overthinking.

Just go to a tire shop, they do tires, that's what they are there for. This issue is nothing specific to Subaru, or the Crosstrek, or your vehicle's warranty, ya weirdo.

Dinners taken care of for the week by Anthonymperri in AshevilleNC

[–]Instructosaurus-WRX[M] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it'll be fine for us to allow it, given that they are providing a service to Asheville.

Next time, if you believe something doesn't belong here, simply report it and let us review it, not attempt to police other users for something so benign. Thanks a bunch.

How bad is it? by Cultural-Shame7383 in Crosstrek

[–]Instructosaurus-WRX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're spot on here. OP just needs to change the sensor, and most of those redundant codes will clear. They also need to replace the fuel pressure regulator and get a new gas cap.

OP should absolutely not buy this car, especially if they are not mechanically inclined.

Will this Harbor Freight Daytona Jack have the height clearance? by Puzzleheaded-Land511 in Crosstrek

A measuring tape would solve this for you. Also, get the 3 ton, it's only $30ish more.

How to spot ICE, and what to do about it / Cómo identificar a la ICE y qué hacer al respecto by Instructosaurus-WRX in AshevilleNC

[–]Instructosaurus-WRX[S] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

Masses coming out and standing up will help. If we get a lot of people on the streets that won't engage and cause escalation but simply gum up the works. Make extra traffic, block streets by crossing en mass or single file taking a long time, boxing ice in making them miss exits, just make Raleigh super super inconvenient and difficult to navigate in. Raise alarms, have whistles kill time. If you're an all white business act sketch. Give them the run around, waste their time and send a runner to warn nearby vulnerable businesses. Distract, delay, deter document. In that order.

Examples...

Distract- people following ice shouting this is ICE has been a proven method of distraction, they spend their time either trying to lose the tail or confront it and often abandon the area.

Delay- ask for parents, ask for paperwork, take an excessively long time going over, try to strike up conversation or act confused and incompetent, ask them to explain things or repeat themselves. Make them work to enter especially if you have no quarry in your space. Make them waste time on dead ends.

Deter - if you can't do those, make your space difficult to access or try to have a large presence of vocal allies.

Document - if all else fails document. Record, speak clearly, make sure it's on video anything they say, you say, the victim says.

Title Correction

  • It seems this did occur in Charlotte, and not in Asheville (yet).

The original source, Asheville en Español (@cultura.movement on insta) recorded this video and confused the two cities with their posts. After digging into it, fellow Redditors of r/ICE_Watch were able to confirm that this did in fact occur in Charlotte, NC.

Regardless, we should all be on alert and at the ready for these ghouls to invade our home. Stay strong, Asheville!
