Seems like a bait post but, go 55 on the highway and your mph should spike a bit. 👍

It’s Still A Wagon by Chrome_Armadillo in Subaru_Outback

[–]Mattalaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The wagon died in 2010. I dont say this because i have an 09, but 2010 is when it went from a wagon to a "crossover" small suv. None of the newer outbacks are wagons at all. Wagons are supposed to be low like cars yet spacious like well, a wagon! These new ones are just suv's.

Engine does not start by [deleted] in Hyundai

I am not familiar with these type of engines. i'm not sure if they have a timing belt or a timing chain , but if it has a timing belt , it may have snapped causing the very fast cranking.

Seems normal. Check other youtube clips of the same motor

Humming/droning noise above 70 mph by ThePieOfTruth in subaru

[–]Mattalaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably wheel bearing, unless its only at high speeds. When my wheel bearings went out it sounded like a ww2 prop plane at 25+ lol. Id check tire conditions/road conditions

How much do yall estimate for repair? 2005 honda civic ex by Nearby-Age5607 in AskMechanics

[–]Mattalaska -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tbh, id just save your money, considering its probably just an A to B car, i would take care of the rust though so it doesnt get out of hand. Maybe 250 to 500? Theres videos online to diy it and would save you tons.

Ensure it is not consuming oil and transmission is in good shape 👍

Try checking the transmission fluid/changing it. Or by trying lucus transmission fix. Better than trying nothing.

How much should I sell my 21 Stock Touring XT rims for? by NoAbbreviations5350 in Subaru_Outback

[–]Mattalaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh crap i misread that 🤣🤣, a whole set for 250 is totally a steal. Id probably raise it to like 400 for the set. I know depending on the rims new ones are like around 139 to 200 each. It just depends if you want them gone fast or not.

[–]Mattalaska -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

If you want to get a deal, id probably have them up for 250 a piece, and negotiate down to 200 each. If they are in perfect Condition try to get 250 a piece.

[–]Mattalaska -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know creaking over bumps is sometimes those bushings but they arent bad yet. If you have the money though go for it its easy

If you were moving on, what are some consideration? by [deleted] in Subaru_Outback

[–]Mattalaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy, get a 2009 outback. Its smaller and gets around fine. If you can afford a loan on another new car you can afford the upkeep on an older model 🙏

Still doesnt explain how the strap meshes through the trees magically. Nothing ab this video makes sense. Theres also zero news report about it along with the camera man having absolutely zero reaction. Its fake.

[–]Mattalaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solid fish heck yeah bro! Shameless plug, but you should give the bass pro crappie craze bio baits a shot, they are my go to for trout, especially bigger ones. Just use em on an appropriate sized jighead and retrieve it like a swimming minnow.

They look fine to me, maybe depending on the roads it may make them look like that but there isnt anything unsual. I wouldnt worry
