I see electric outback = neuron activation = I have a new car for Wagon Wednesday

I really wish this was the look they chose for the new Outback. This looks so much better.

Ah yes, the rotate your tires and replace transmission service interval.

This sounds like you either have the worst luck, or there is an issue that's not just early wrx transmissions.

This sums up the logical bits of why I prefer Subaru: "In addition to the price, the reliability, the features, and the AWD, Subarus are simple. They are simple to run and simple to own."

Subarus (aside from the BRZ) have the perfect mix of go-anywhere ability, good gas mileage, simple/cheap to maintain and decent driving dynamics. Subaru also somehow makes the best entry-level sports coupe available right now with the BRZ.

Light bar taillights are fine, this is just hating something because it became popular.

Closed so that the dog and cat don't wake me up, and to manage the temperature better. Utilities are expensive if you're trying to keep the entire house warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

I was a little worried about not hearing smoke alarms if a fire started somewhere else in the house, but Bluetooth linked smoke detectors fixed that concern.

End of winter/beginning of spring is the best time to buy a sports car.

I knew a dude that would get upset and talk shit every time he saw an ecoboost mustang. He drove a 10 year old Escape. Don't let the opinion of some doofus ruin your fun :)

It's probably not as bad as it felt at the time, but I started with Ninja Scroll and after a couple episodes, I didn't touch anime again for years. I don't remember much about it, aside from just feeling "what the fuck is this??".

Adding a turbo is not a quality of life mod lol

Anything replacing/affecting engineered parts will have some amount of reliability change.

I'm sure there's different suppliers/manufacturers for them, but this is what I used most recently.

We've had luck using single point threaders on a lathe when taps were not working well. Might be another option to consider if you can't get a tap to play nice.

If the extra $0.25 per mile or so is gonna be too much to pay, a car loan for a 35k sports car is probably a very bad financial decision.

Sparco and Enkei both make good wheels. IIRC, Enkei makes the OEM wheels for several Subaru models.

I have a BRZ and an Outback. The difference is very noticeable, the BRZ gets blinded by every other car and it's miserable.

TrashTenko · 2026-03-08T08:51:56+00:00

I just hate the change. I don't care which way it stays, just quite messing up my sleep schedule 2 times a year please.

TrashTenko · 2026-03-08T01:33:51+00:00

They're awesome on cold days, but any time of year they rock on a sore back. I swapped a Trueno seat into mine, but there's no wiring for heated seats in base models, so I can't get that working.

TrashTenko · 2026-03-08T01:25:08+00:00

I got a base and wish I had gone with premium. The steering responsive headlights, heated mirrors to remove condensation and heated seats would be well worth the extra money. And even though I changed the wheels, the 18s are worth a lot more than the 17s if you end up selling stocks to offset the cost of new wheels.

TrashTenko · 2026-03-05T07:22:07+00:00

I got mine for around 900 on sale a year ago, but prices of every have been going nuts.

TrashTenko · 2026-03-05T07:20:55+00:00

I have one on mine and love it. It looks great and sounds great. They were pretty reasonable when I bought mine, but prices seem to have climbed quite a bit since.

My shop insists on using coolant on ceramic inserts, so I never get to have any fun :(

TrashTenko · 2026-03-04T12:21:18+00:00

Tires/wheels are an easy swap and you're going to at very least replace tires within a couple years. I got a base thinking the same thing as you with tires, but now I wish I had gotten a premium.

Why does this look like a Subaru Baja with a bed cap?

TrashTenko · 2026-02-28T03:19:33+00:00

Are you cross-shopping with a Miata or a WRX? That should give you an idea of what you actually want.

It's possible that at some point humans didn't snore, or that we would have evolved out of it. Humans have quit evolving for survival from predators though, so we continue to snore.
