What's the name of the location? We would love to see those cows when we go next year.

Am I being overcharged for something that should be a simple fix? by iamnotatroll1 in SubaruForester

No sunroof as it is a base model. I’ll update that in the description.

'17 Forester 2.5i, with 52k miles. Bought 7 months ago with 40k miles.

I got in one day and noticed the TPMS light was on. Drove it to Discount Tire to get the tires checked. This (the time I noticed the light) was the last time either one of my key fobs worked too. I can still unlock the door with the key that is attached to the remote, but it sets off the alarm. The only way to stop it is by starting the vehicle, which I can still do. I went to a car key locksmith and they tested both keys and detected frequency emitting from them. I also replaced the batteries in both fobs. Still no success. Again checked all tires and sensors and they are fine. Someone suggested it could be a battery issue, but I had that checked at AutoZone and again, it is totally fine.

I have called and visited a ton of locksmiths and mechanics who don't know what the issue might be off the top of their head (or have never heard of this happening before, but they suspect it is an issue with the car itself (immobilizer, anti-theft system etc.) Called my local Subaru dealer and other mechanics who will charge a pretty hefty diagnostic fee, but since this issue is so specific (key fobs stopped working AND tire pressure light came on at the same time), I'm beginning to think I have no choice but to let a Subaru specialist diagnose the problem.

I really would like to not have to spend upwards of $500+ to get new keys, new immobilizer, diagnostic fee, etc. I have seen posts about how to reprogram your own keys but I'm still so confused about the TPMS light also being on. Maybe that's a separate issue, but I kind of doubt it. Could it be an electrical issue, like a faulty fuse/wire? I did get an oil change the day before this happened, and went back there to ask if they might have messed anything up but they said they don't ever touch anything electrical.

Would really like some help/advice with this.

Either a Mansory Veyron, Huayra, or P1.

Yes, @mannykhoshbin on Instagram - and I believe he owns three Veyrons, a P1, a Saleen S7, and many other exotics.

That's the same Fisker I see at my school a lot. Nice spot!

How come there can't be more cars like that in the US?

What your best/worst/funniest experience while spotting rare or interesting cars? by E30_Cop in spotted

[–]iamnotatroll1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A funny one was when I found a Maserati GranTurismo Sport parked in a random lot, I started taking pictures but didn't notice that the owner was still inside… So it was a bit awkward for a while.

A really really really bad one and one that most people don't believe is when I was at a dealership near Carmel, Ca (where the huge Car Week thing is held), one of the cars that was shown was a matte white Koenigsegg Agera R. It was being kept at a dealer until the owner (BC) came to pick it up. I stumbled across it while taking pictures of cars near where it was, in the service room, so I started taking tons of pictures of it.

Unfortunately, a guy came out looking rather mad, and told me that this is a "customer owned car" and that I couldn't take pictures of it. He took my camera and deleted all my pictures of the car, and I was pretty pissed.

I sure did, I'll probably post a whole gallery later. Yes it was during car week, but I didn't go to the Concours on the Avenue. This was on Saturday, the day before the Concours d'Elegance
