I have actually found toast and toys in VHS and 8-track players. They go in a ziplock bag and returned to the customer.

they can only show stuff that actually gets reported. owner goes to a small independent shop instead of the dealer for routine work (or does it themselves), chances are said work will not be reported, therefore, no record. routine maintenance is not what I would necessarily be looking for on a carfax anyway. They are more useful for accident info, flood damage, that sort of thing.

Just bought a 2006 Outback Wagon that had bad tailgate wiring. Wires on both sides were broken,so I just replaced the entire harness. Replaced the harness and the circuit that powers up the radio, dome lights etc kept popping as soon as fuse was installed with the car ignition off. Crazy, thought the harness would have taken care of that, but no. Did some reading and some testing and thought, what the hell, pull the radio based on what I was seeing. Well, when the radio came out, it was rattling like a box of nuts and bolts in an empty box. I shook it for a few minutes gently to see what it was and all of the sudden, coins start coming out of the cd slot. .37 later the radio is empty but dead. No more circuit popping. Put in a 05 Radio I had on the shelf in and I am off to the races......with a radio. I have never seen that before. LOL

LOL, I have a house with those old style locks (box that is screwed to the outside of the door) - no coins found to date.. but have found all sorts of other evidence of kids - drawing on walls in closets, small toys in heat registers, those sorts of things.

I have considered it..... I have many hobbies that are not Subaru related though and that occupies a LOT of my time. I have three main vehicle modification/restoration projects in progress, I build/restore arcades, collect/build/restore retro computers, and I have two houses to maintain and a business that RUNS ME about 9 days out of the week. When I'm not organizing tax documents that is. GD

There is no significant benefit to a larger filter other than slight (and I do mean SLIGHT) increase in capacity. Subaru's tend to shed a lot of metal into the oil. What you want is a *better* filter. And better isn't always bigger - smaller micron rating, and things like the number of pleats in the element (surface area), and the type/location/psi of the bypass valve are much more important than the size. And the Subaru blue filters are straight garbage. WIX is good for a cheap filter. If you want the best - Amsoil or Royal Purple (same manufacturer). GD

I'm impressed if you had one of those 2005 POS combo radio/hvac units lying around. Don't forget the poor ground connection in the area behind the face plate at #3 button that causes the entire unit to go blank (no radio/no hvac). Just tap on the area or open and resolder.

Not even enough for a 12oz PBR.

That’s good thinking! I would’ve run the same coolant for simplicity of only using one product... Cheers Bennie

I always get them confused. I have been um. . . 'spoken harshly' at more than once for forgetting which one I drive, haha. If you are looking for a windshield, one of the major glass companies still makes them. My local shop has installed 2 of them for me, about $250 each. That junkyard always has some good stuff at it. That day they also had a 78ish Dodge Colt Coupe, and a late 60's Fiat 850.
