i cleaned it! like with actual car wash soap and a sponge.. i also cleaned the left front rim.. then i lost interest. it honestly hasn't been washed since last summer.

last night i spray painted over the rust too.. this thing is ready for picking up ladies now.

Looks good, I like your ed-ded license plate.

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah white never stays clean, but at least it doesnt' stand out unless you cake on the mud. I've gone and done that way too many times on my OBS. When you ahve 3-4 inches of mud covering the rear of your car you know you just got pulled out of a mud rut.Gotta find that video of me bombing on Birch Road in Epping.

i did a good thing! got rear bumper beam from ed's greenie meanie.. one of the welded nuts broke while ed was removing the beam, so i went up last night and finished grinding the head off the bolt since ed gave up.. then today i busted two welded nuts on my car.. i cut the head off one, then the other was above the little box thingy on the pass side (fuel pump box?).. so i cut the horn off the crap bumper beam, then stuck a wrench in there to hold the nut..

pile of rust and new/old bumper beams

the $300 subie hit 200k last night..i've had it for 40k miles and 2.75 years! maf 35, battery 50, starter 90, clutch 120, tranny 50, tires+rims 180, plugs/wires 45... = 530+300 =830/33(months)=$25/month car payment.. winner.


i should maybe probably quite possibly do the brakes... since i havent touched them in 40k miles, and im sure they werent new when i bought it, lol.


i'm excited to run my studded snows this winter, havent had studs on this car yet (only in it, right ed?)..

[squeethebee]

Indeed! Good investment buddy.

ed

[Bu11dogg2]

not bad!

[Nick D]

200,000! she still running good?

[squeethebee]

Mechanically, something is squealing.

Visually, it died long ago.

ed

[Oscar_Meyer]

tape its mouth shut...

[compleckz]

lol i've never replaced the serpentine belt in 40k, and it squeals when its cold.. the car is already embarrassing enough.. so im gonna spring for a new belt. and yea, it runs fine.. just did an oil change and its 7 degrees out, it was... cold.

[squeethebee]

You treat it too good sometimes.

ed

[squeethebee]

How's she been handling the snow?

ed

[compleckz]

like a ****ing champion, studded snows nucka. my aunt got her forester stuck at the end of our driveway, and i was able to drive around it and pull her out..
