  1. "Fedex Sucks" is kindof harsh when you got your bumper and all they were doing was a quality check. I don't think they have to make you sign for something on ground shipping unless the sender requests it.

     

    I have had great luck with them so far. They save a lot of money for shipping bulky items and I haven't had a package lost yet.

  2. You cant flat tow an automatic with them on the ground. You could put stub axles in the front thus disconnecting the trans from the wheels, or you could to dolly it.

     

    Pulling a Subaru with a Subaru is not recommended. I did it with my Legacy pulling a 83 Wagon but it was flat towing and it was flat ground not mountain passes.

    Stopping was not fun but not that horrible. A Panic stop would have been more scary.

  3. I came up with this idea and I think everybody has the right idea but maybe I can help clear some things up:

     

    When I came up with the idea it was with these ideas in mind:

     

    When something good comes up on Ebay and somebody recognizable from the board is the current high bidder, a lot of us will not outbid that person as they are a friend, etc

     

    Second, I know this is the Subaru community, not the Acura/Lexus/BMW, etc.... community and a lot of people here don't have a lot of money around but they do have a lot of spare parts around. For some, spare parts can be had easier than spare change sometimes and for others, spare parts are hard to find and they might have the $ for them.

     

    Third, you can help without losing a dime. Just drive the price up to your maximum and if you win you got the item for a price you were willing to pay for it and if you lose, somebody with more desire or cash got it. But either way you aren't making somebody rich with your bid- you are helping the board. Most of us would rather make the board rich than someone on ebay.

     

    Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to donate to the board. Save your money for when something comes up that you need or want and lets let the guys that need the items win the items. I think this is the best thing to do for the Subaru community and each other.
