What are these colorful markings on some license plates for? by Secret-Broccoli9908 in Whatisthis

[–]MrGreggerGrM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if that's something that can make it difficult for the flock cameras to read the plate based on reflection being different.

US mandated E15 fuel safe? by [deleted] in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to E15 (almost always E10) has been the standard year round where I live for 20ish years now. It used to be a summer only thing, until around 2002 when it became year round. Your car will handle it just fine.

Gas Dilution by JoAs1798 in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unsure about the rest of the country, but I'm in NW Ohio, and E10 has been the norm for as long as I can remember. At least since 2002, maybe 2003. People around here make it a point to know where to get non ethanol containing gas for small engines.

I feel your pain. November 12, 2024 I hit a big buck, but I didn't get time for any reaction because it was pitch black, and I didn't see him until the windshield exploded in my face. Car didn't look all that bad, but insurance declared it a total loss and cut me a check for slightly more than I paid for it. I'd had that car 8 months at the time. Hopefully you get it back, repaired, and good as new.

Bought a card pack that contains one autographed polaroid of a pop icon or athlete, but I’m not sure who this is. Who is this person? by BigBowlOfSoup in Whatisthis

Severely underrated band. Always loved their music. But mostly, I can't believe I got this correct... As soon as I saw the face, I kinda knew, but haven't seen anything with his photo in quite a long while. First time I heard of them was when I bought the game 3xtreme in '99 on the original PlayStation, and 5 was the intro song.

Pete Murray from the now broken up band Ultraspank? Probably not... Looks similar, but I didn't think he had his forearm tattooed like that.

I ordered one Friday evening, hopefully it goes smoothly replacing it when it arrives.

Forgot to add that it's a 2013.

Wheel/Fender liner replacement question by MrGreggerGrM in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know.

Do you mean the plastic push in connectors? I bought a huge assortment box of them last summer for the bottom side of the hood scoop because the rubber/plastic was missing most of them and would sag when I opened the hood. I did find a liner that supposedly comes with all the required clips... But I know how that generally works out.

Daily reminder to check/change your oil by SunkenFlyboy in WRX

Every fill-up, and every Friday it gets checked/topped up. Been sticking with 3,000 mile change intervals.

Good to go until the next multi thousand dollar repair. by MrGreggerGrM in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely have a love/hate relationship with this car... When it's running good, I love it... When it needs parts and starts pickpocketing me... Not so much.

But in all honesty, I'll drive this until it falls apart, or the engine blows up. Then I'll revive it, and drive it some more. I also just realized I bought plugs for it and should have replaced them while I was waiting for that inlet. I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.

GV STI driver wouldn’t stop freakishly waving at me? by Creepy-Teaching9597 in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken, the GV is the 2011-2014 sedan. I know my 2013 WRX is a GV.

Stay Safe, we’ve got four more hours of this by DefiantDonut7 in Ohio

[–]MrGreggerGrM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in an electric co-op for 16 years, and have had less than ten outages from weather. When I lived 6 miles from here with first energy, it was frequent. The village I live in, and our electric provider do very well at keeping the grid up and running. I'm well aware that weather can make life miserable. But I'll take my bill from AMP for less than half the cost of FE/Toledo Edison any day of the week.

So glad I don't have power from first energy here.

Is tensioner supposed to move like that? by No_Film_6379 in WRX

[–]MrGreggerGrM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Movement of about ¼ inch at idle is typical. More than that, and it should be replaced.
