July 22, 201015 yr I like cars more than computers, tryin to figure out how this works Edited July 22, 201015 yr by KaraK
July 22, 201015 yr Im with you there! Welcome! I still dont know how to upload pics and still a little in rusty spots. Feel free to befriend, I love making new friends. Marshall Erickson Portland Oregon
July 23, 201015 yr Author Thanks for the welcome! Now, after 4 hours of USMB, I may be an addict! And I am learning to use the computer too, hopefully my typing improves soon:)
July 23, 201015 yr You get used to it pretty quick... Sadly, between surfing Craigslist, USMB and RPG games.. Id say I spend about 10-12 hours per day on the internet... When I get the 84 Wagon, Ill definitely spend more time with my nose in my Haynes guide and more time on USMB and less on my RPG game (good thing I can sell the character haha)
July 23, 201015 yr hey! another Wisconsinite!! :banana: Welcome to the greatest site on the net!! There are several members down in your neck of the woods - one of whom is an absolute genius with Subarus (shhh!! dont tell him i said that! LOL) I am about 3.5-4 hours north of you...
July 23, 201015 yr Patience grasshopper! You must become one with the USMB and take it into your soul in order to understand it! Concentrate!.................Oh yes, WELCOME TO THE BOARD!!
July 29, 201015 yr There are several members down in your neck of the woods - one of whom is an absolute genius with Subarus (shhh!! dont tell him i said that! LOL) oh come on now, your embarrassing me. oh wait. you mean that fox character. haha. Karak.... Where in SE WI are you? Edited July 29, 201015 yr by xbeerd
July 29, 201015 yr Hello from Portland and Welcome! I just joined a few weeks ago. This board is awesome!! so many helpful posts and people
July 30, 201015 yr Author oh come on now, your embarrassing me. oh wait. you mean that fox character. haha. Karak.... Where in SE WI are you? Hey Hey Hey! I am out in the sticks, about 3ish miles south of Holy Hill. I sure am glad I happened upon that "Fox character" very early in my Subaru search, or I would not be here now. Don't feel bad, I'm sure there is more than one "Genius" in S.E. WI :grin:
July 30, 201015 yr Author Hello from Portland and Welcome! I just joined a few weeks ago. This board is awesome!! so many helpful posts and people I agree completely:)
August 2, 201015 yr oh come on now, your embarrassing me. oh wait. you mean that fox character. haha. no, I really was talking about you, Scott... :lol: hehehe that "fox character" really is a pretty good guy to know when it comes to subaru's tho.
August 4, 201015 yr Yeah Fox is damn good with Subarus, if you hang out with him enough - you'll gain his knowledge, I know I've gained alot from him plus reading so much on here. Scott, Fox, and I are a good group of folks. Hope you can swing by sometime. I'm out joy riding in your neck of the woods alot anyhow
August 4, 201015 yr Author O.K.! So, this "Scott" fellow is the man I need to know?? You know I gotta appreciate anyone with "BEER" in their name. Does Scott go to these "meets" I've been hearing about?
August 4, 201015 yr O.K.! So, this "Scott" fellow is the man I need to know?? You know I gotta appreciate anyone with "BEER" in their name. Does Scott go to these "meets" I've been hearing about? MilesFox is one of the guys you'd want to know along with Scott and I. Fox has torn down Subarus and rebuilt them for years - and really, Subarus are very easy, I've taken the entire front suspension out of my Loyale wagon once along with endless other things lol. MilesFox hosts the meets pretty much, and I'm always good for meeting up and day of the week and giving pointers and such. Fox, Scott, Desmond Jones, and I are pretty much the Subaru guys of SE WI (We are not the Impreza crowed who are all about bling bling blah blah) Haha.
August 5, 201015 yr beer. nuff said. (speaking of, i gotta drink less of it, starting to look like a fat ************ in pictures! ) you should swing by Fox's garage some time, he knows everything, mostly older subaru related but the new stuff isnt THAT different.. he's definately the guy to know. he helped me out with my 5spd tranny swap last december, and by helped out i mean did most of the work. LOL. its documented on Youtube (series called "Art of Subaru Maintenance") you should post up some pics of your ride.

Re: posting pics, I am not computer literate, this is about all I can do, I wish I could figure out how to do the "quotes" with just parts of a post instead of all of it. So, I guess you'll just have to wait and see it in person, might have to wait a couple weeks for a weekend meet. I'm done with work by 3pm most weekdays, if anyone gets together during the week, let me know. -Kara
August 6, 201015 yr I can give you some tips on posting and posting pictures. To post Pictures: If you go to Photobucket.com and open a free account, you can then make an photo album, upload the picture file off ur PC (Where ever you saved them) then once you upload them, you will see on the side of your image there are some link codes, the last link code is called "IMG" copy that IMG code and post it into where you type on here. Let me know if I need to explain more (I'm happy to) To Quote sections of Posts: At the bottom of any post there is a "Quote button" click that and it will open a text window with all the text in it, then whatever you do not want, just erase it. at the beginning and end of the quoted text you will see a small code that looks like this "[ QUOTE ]" and this "[ /QUOTE ]" Don't erase either of these or the quote won't happen (It'll just show normal text) So if your gonna quote something and want to type above or below the quoted text, just write your text before this "[ QUOTE ]" OR after this "[ /QUOTE ]" - notice the end quote has a "/" backslash. PM me or post in here if you want me to talk more about this Haha. I wasn't really too savvy with this online or computer stuff, but after years of getting into it (Due to USMB and Other Car fourms) I have gained sooo much outta this! One rule on here, Don't Be Afraid To Ask For Help. Thats what this place is for and thats why we are all here. Also, yeah I'm pretty much free any day of the week untill about 4-5pm. I always free on Weekends - do you have any plans this weekend? I'd be able to meet up if ur free. -Tom Edited August 6, 201015 yr by TheLoyale
August 6, 201015 yr Scott, I agree with you on that. Your getting big! LOL ************er! nice informational write up by the way. haha. should be a http://www.wikipedia.com/usmb
August 6, 201015 yr Author The write up WAS nice, unfortunately I must be mentally challenged because I'm unable to follow written directions, "uploading" pics- wasn't gonna happen, but I at least attempted the quote thing, I think I screwed that up too- so here I am. I have a "Family thing" this Sat. and a "work thing" this Sun., next weekend I got a "thing" Sat. too, and probably recovering from that "thing" Sun.. Kinda how my whole summer has been, my main Ride dies, pull out the "collector car", tranny goes; borrow ride, brakes go; buy another "collector", tranny???? (I'll find out when I change the filter) Buy Subaru. I sure hope my luck is changin' I'm sick of this sh** Summer's almost gone, I haven't enjoyed it yet-:-\
August 6, 201015 yr Author LOL ************er! nice informational write up by the way. haha. should be a http://www.wikipedia.com/usmb Wikiwhat? I gotta learn how to use that too?
August 7, 201015 yr wikipedia.com go there and type just about anything and find out some info about it.
