Sounds great! Glad to hear you're in the area

Hi everyone, I'm moving from Seattle to Monterey, CA for work in mid September! Is there anyone on here in the Monterey area? I hope there are some Subaru nerds like myself around -Lisa

Welcome to the neighborhood! It is generally a nice place, and there are lots of us in the area! I'm sure you'll see plenty of awesome subarus around! Definitely heed the warnings though. Tools are not safe in a car overnight. I'm not one of the unfortunate ones who has had stuff stolen, but am not the least bit surprised to hear that it has happened a lot lately in this area. Its a damned shame. Other than that though, you're in a great spot!

He's running well! Jerry and I gave him a "new" fuel pump and a new fuel filter and he started right on up! New timing belt for security since the alternator belt was cracking and I know the timing belt had been sitting on it for a looong time too! He still has his funny little quirks, like the idle that jumps around occasionally, and that valve tick. And while Jerry and I were replacing the fuel pump we discovered approximately 8 holes in the exhaust... so he sounds all grumbly! And he hasn't blown the fuse yet that controls the dashboard lights since he's been running again, but I'm ready for it! I missed my little monster

Aw, I won't be around on the 21st

The trick is to slide under the car and bash up a few knuckles and scratch/chip your nails THEN go get a manicure to fix it all up!
-
Yup, that was quite the surprise! For a moment I thought maybe we'd get to drive away looking classy! ...no such luck!
-
Thanks Ed!!!! It was a great day! Too bad we drove off in a Porsche though
-
Not very many subarus, for sure. But lots of cool cars anyway! It was definitely a nice surprise running into you, Ed (and Jeanne!)! Glad we both got a late start!
-
I mayyyy be able to make it out that way depending on when/where it is and whether I can find a little free time to put a little work on my Brat!
-
Yes!!!!!

I really wished I was in my Brat when I saw this one! They're the same light blue, 2nd gen. It would have been lots of fun to be lined up in traffic with another of the same! Yo'J lives pretty close to me, so I drop by there sometimes to hang out with him and his subarus! But I don't know of any other Brats in the area. There are a bunch of old subies around for sure though! I get waves sometimes!
-
Yesterday (Friday, the 13th!) driving your light blue Brat with a cap and old Oregon plates in Seattle by the Ballard Bridge! Our Brats are twinsies! I wasn't driving a Subie at the time, but seeing you in yours made me REALLY wish I was so I could have waved! I was the girl in the Porsche 2 cars ahead of you sitting in traffic who was creeping at you in my side view mirror...

If you go through Portland on the way down stop by GD's and have him look at it! You'll get some sound advice.
-
Ha! I love it!!! I played around in my brat today with the 4WD too! It was a great day for it!
-
Had some fun today! Just went to a parking lot and played around, but better than sitting on my rump roast on the couch all day!
-
Haha fair enough! Not gonna lie though, I'd really love to hang out with some good salty Mainers again! There's nothing like a Mainer anywhere else in the world! ...especially Seattle.
-
Welcome! I lived in Maine for a bunch of years. Moved to Seattle 3 years ago, but still miss it. However my cars are thankful that I prolonged their lives by moving away!
-
Welcome! There's a lot of us around the Seattle area. And tons of good advice and opinions on this board!

I have a 1998 EJ22 Impreza hatch. Its my baby! I also have a Brat with an '85 body and accessories, an EA82 motor and 5 speed DR transmission and other fun tweaks. That one is my little monster. For a bunch of years I drove my dad's '99 Legacy wagon. Its the EJ22 Legacy. I love that car too! Its the one that solidified my love for Subarus! I always had a crush on the EA82 wagons when I was growing up, and when my dad got the Legacy I sort of adopted it as my own!
-
Glad to have you! Tons of great information here, as you seem to have found already!
