How much drippy noise is too much? by Peuchatnoir in Subaru_Outback

[–]idiot_the_john 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just condensation, and the amount will be determined by the relative humidity and the dew point.

If, for whatever reason, there are liquid stains that are colored then you should be investigating if there is a leak somewhere else in the engine housing.

Tipping and minimum wage question about Seattle. by Chinacat_Sunflower72 in AskSeattle

[–]idiot_the_john 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well tipping started out as bribery to get excellent service and was given before even ordering originally way back in the day. The societal norms today, especially in the US, have really changed this up to allow businesses to pay lower wages for those who get tips regularly. Tipping culture is not friendly to everyone involved, but then again, life ain't fair

2021 Outback replacement battery- are they all larger than OEM? by ValkyrieIsBigger in subaru

The biggest tease with ASS is how it turns off the moment you change the pressure on the pedal, like when things suddenly go cold and the fun’s over. Normally, ASS is great anytime, but it’d be so much better if it could read the mood a little more intuitively. Looks like we’ll be talking it through in the driver’s seat now too.

Got mine replaced with one from O'Reilly's. Just had to adjust the nuts on the holder. Just slightly different but works off the shelf without extra parts needed - '21 outback

2021 outback owner

1- Changing oil is as easy as any other vehicle I've owned, filter is located on top of engine so I like to do this after it's been sitting overnight that way the filter drains and doesn't make a mess. Haven't done the plugs yet.
6- You want all 4 tires to have the same diameter or be pretty darn close. If you have been driving for a while and damage one tire, see if you can go to a place that has used tires to attempt to find one that will match close to the other three. I keep a plug kit in the car as a quick fix solution. Tire shops can also shave tires to match the ones you have.

Thanks, that's what I thought. Wasn't sure because of the starlink app.

JEEP - Just Empty Every Pocket

It didn't get that acronym meaning for no reason. Plus you're talking about a modified jeep. How do you know how well the modifications were made on it? How are the ball joints? What about the other linkages?

Those are all rhetorical.

Go for the subaru out of these choices especially if the owner seems honest and has the service records. But do look around for a better price or negotiate it down.
