    All you had to say was Forester, that alone tells me the headgaskets and likely most other seals are leaking.

    If I did that then I'll be giving you the best part of my job. But if you want to be a cashier, ski or snowboard instructor or working a rental shop you hired.

    No motivation, no initiative. Can't blame em when going above and beyond means they'll still get laid off next summer

    For us we have summer operations also so we do offer year round employment. Also I start 16 year olds at $16 with no work experience. I think that's motivation to work.

    I am partial to OBS Subarus, especially the Outback Sport with the EJ22 and the second gen Forester/Outback with MLS head-gaskets. Those are two of my dream cars, along with a 3rd gen Camry with the 5SFE.

    I'm more implying when you get paid based on performance, it's a lot more motivating - and it's been scientifically proven to be more effective than a pre-determined salary. Performance bonuses are another option.
    But I mean, $16/hr is nothing to scoff at but you gotta know the type of person first. Especially kids these days who feel entitled to everything.

    You have uh, eccentric dreams haha. But I will grant you that the EJ22 is possibly Subarus best engine

    Entitlement is our biggest problem here. Kids know that there parents average income is $500,000+ a year. So if they don't work they still get money from the parents.

    Once you put MLS HGs on a 2.5 they're pretty bulletproof too
