So boring at work today

 

Frigging busy as hell here today.

 

Might jump on that TJM Awning deal with Boss4x4... 200$ shipped for a 7'x6.75' awning... It'll motivate me to start my shell project after the suspension.....

 

Work is slow, but staying interesting........

 

I have a customer who needs reporting asap before going into a meeting where they might decide to cancel us. And of course I have no access to any systems

 

16 Forester with 12,165 miles.

BOTH front wheel bearings are bad! Must have been a bad run...

 

I hear it's a problem with STI's too...

 

shitty wheel bearings has long been a thing with certain model Subarus @emelianenkov

2004-2007 legacy and outbacks had been notorious for them (but they are direct bolt in units)
the older foresters also had issues (but those are not so easy, you gotta press it in)

 

Drifting lesbians?

 

Yeah, and head gaskets. Probably did one (well, two per car) a week on Subarus when I worked at a shop.

 

Single cab short bed? WTF

 

I'm starting to think all those Subaru commercials are a lie...

 

it's 2017.... everything is a lie, and or fake

fake news
fake president
fake advertisement
shit our Japanese tacos are not assembled in japan
fake fake fake fake fake fake fake


FAKE

 

Most automobiles aren't assembled where their company originates from.

 

most automobiles are garbage




dang I did not know Subaru started assembling sti models as well in the US as of 2016...

I even underestimated the extent of assembling overseas for the few cars I held true on.

 

Fine by me, I have a warranty!

Yeah the older press in ones are a bitch, especially when you have to contend with those pesky lower link bolts!

I wish

Older EJ25's had this issue. They've since revised the motor after 08-09, and it doesn't become an issue unless they overheat the car.

Newer cars are fantastic, and the old ones are amazing compared to similar options of their vintage. Plus we have the highest safety and one of the highest resale ratings...

 

Don't forget fake genders!!!

 

Huh? That's definitely a 6 ft bed.

 

My mom has an '01 Outback sedan that needed a front wheel bearing. I'll do most things for her, but not that. Once I learned they weren't bolt-in, I figured it wouldn't be a fun job.

 

Almost worth getting a whole new knuckle.
