Turbone Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Glad you got to make it down there, albeit without the car you wanted to bring. Good to know theres folks out there when your in need. Scott, your not alone with the car problems. At least mine didnt wait until I was far from Home (yet). I filled up my Imp this morning. When I came back out from getting my change there was a river flowing from under the car. People waiting to get gas were making quick exits I jumped in and rolled it down and away from the pumps and other cars. It was pouring out from the fuel line returns, on top of the tank No way to fix it today, the tank has to drop. I put a bucket under it and had Caboob pick me up. I waited about 4hrs and came back and the leaking had almost stopped (and the car hadnt exploded). Jumped in and hauled butt home, with Russ following me in my RX. Got the Imp home safely, but when Russ pulled in, my RX spewed steam from under the hood. So now its cooling off so I can work on it to fix the line that blew. I quess the Subaru Gods want to know how committed we are to getting to the Show I still got the XT6 (knock on wood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
