Thanks Sydfloyd, that's a good idea!

I purchased an Outback XT in November of 2004 and have been very happy with its performance through the New England winter. HOWEVER, I developed a crack in the windshield in early December, and when I took it back to the dealership to get checked (since it was suspicious) they pointed to a chip underneath the driver's windshield wiper and said it was caused by a rock strike and that my insurance needs to take care of it. Upon further inspection I feel that it is virtually impossible for a rock to strike in this location due to aerodynamics unless it fell straight down. Now the crack has extended itself across the bottom of the windshield and there is another crack that has developed in the corner of the passenger side. I am wondering if anyone has experienced these problems and if anyone knows of a person who is in charge of service in the New England area that might be able to help out. Thanks!

Hey everybody, I've proudly joined the family of Subaru owners when I purchased a 2005 Outback 2.5 XT. LOVE IT! Quick question... since I've owned nothing but Saturns and run down VWs and Fords, do I need to start using a higher octane fuel with the Turbocharged engine?
