Mythical Creature

These shops really need to stop using cheap composite gaskets and use the MLS gaskets with PROPER TORQUE on the bolts. So many people getting ripped off by cheapo parts and lazy mechanics. Not good for the brand.

Yes, really. 4 door down to a 2 door. Insurance companies sometimes don't have a clue what they're looking at. I'm just interested to know.

I <3 my Subaru. I have owned 17 vehicles in the last 17 years. My Legacy is by far the nicest. Sure I've replaced some parts. Big deal. Do I feel safe in it? Absolutely. Stopping is a little bit of an issue, but only because it's tempting to drive WAY too fast for conditions. Haters gonna hate. I'm thinking about trying a BMW next but I've heard some real horror stories. I'll probably stay with Subaru because I can literally do the work in my sleep. Very simple to work on, and that's comparing it to a '71 Ford truck.

What's that do to the insurance?

That XT shifter is giving me ideas. Did they come in black?

New member here saying hello. I'm evil03mustang over on legacygt.com My username here is a result of me obtaining financing for my car and having signed papers and making 3 payments on it BEFORE I EVEN HAD PROOF THAT IT EXISTED. At one point I was very rationally referring to it as both a unicorn and as "The Emperor's new car." I took ownership of the thing June 1, 2013 with 61,212 miles on it. I paid $8,000.00 plus taxes and fees. This is why I got the loan before even seeing it... had I waited, I would have paid MUCH MORE. Since plating it and driving it home, I have had to replace the transmission, water pump, idlers, tensioner and timing belt... Transmission died due to center diff bearing failure. Easier to just swap boxes. Donor was a wrecked '06 Spec.B. The engine received new crank, pistons, bearings, rings prior to my ownership and I believe the assembly/disassembly process stressed the water pump in ways it didn't like.. That seized up on me the first weekend in December. Gates TCK328 and a Subaru water pump/tstat later, back on the road. Turbo has too much shaft play for my taste, so that's being replaced next. I do my own work and I fear no task. They make service manuals for a reason. The car is Obsidian Black Pearl/Black leather, 5-speed manual and she is my baby.
