Hey Scott, Any luck on my big s-squared stickers? Magnet or not is okay. I can put them on a magnet if you can get the stickers. sweet
Oh, and Sperry changed his mind, he wants his magnets done in a light pink color, not white.

I think I hate Subaru and their dealers now. This is a great car so long as you don't ever have to get service or any work done under warranty

well, they're covering the first five days, which is ok, but not great. where can I find more info on the legality of this?
I'm just so frustrated with Subaru. I can't stand when a business operates in a manner I find unethical, and I feel this is a perfect example of unethical business practices. From the start, this was not a warranty issue and I would be charged $453.00 + rental car during time of repair. Then I sicked my insurance company on the dealer and their foreman goes over and blows the foreman at Maita. All of a sudden it's a manufacturer warranty issue and apparently this is a problem on all WRXs..a lot of them are coming back to the dealer lately with my same complaints.
Funny, though, that of the 20 or 30 people I know who own a WRX, not one of them has this problem, and I'm the only one who has had an accident where the timing cover was replaced. That sure is odd...hmm. Funny how as soon as money is going to come out of a dealers pocket that the Subaru warranty is the most comprehensive thing on the planet.
I can't wait to get the survey on this one so I can take the time to write up my thoughts and the fact that I'm extremely unhappy with the service I have, and continue to receive from Subaru dealerships. Then I'll send it in, no one will read it and nothing will be done about it. YES!

What's up everyone. I'm from the sac town area, grew up in Fair Oaks, go to college in Davis. I mostly go down to the Bay area for meets but that's hella far away. I meet up with Ubercaff and cruise around there. So I was just lookin' for a little action up here that I could maybe tap into. Get to know a couple drivers in the Sacramento area.
FYI I don't own a Subaru and never have. Right now I drive a Protege5 with the following mods:
Intake, Header, Exhaust, HID Projectors 17x7.5 Rota Battles w/ Yokohama Prada Spec 2's, Short shifter, SS, Kartboy Bushings, Optima RedTop, SS Brake and Clutch lines, Porterfield Pads, Fidanza Flywheel, Clutchmasters Clutch...I'm sure I have more but I can't remember off the top of my head
Anyway, I plan on beginning autocross down in San Juaquin County Fairgrounds and could use somone to cruise with or maybe even get a little coaching. So if it's OK with you guys I'd like to come out and see what you all have.

Thanks for the compliment.
HWY 128 is just bad ***. Coming home one day from napa on 121 and that is my favorite road. If there was ever a touge battle that would be where it would happen. I also frequent Pope Chiles road. Dangerous place to drive sometimes because of the falling rocks. I almost hit a 100 lb boulder in the middle of the road one night
In case you guys never ran into this website it is one of the most complete guides to simply kick *** roads in all of CA w/ pictures and everything

Oh yeah, that Mormon Emmigrant Trail sucked, even though pashnit raved about it. There are so many rocks on the road I was afraid for my car's life. Maybe I'll wait and try again in a few months.
I couldn't go faster than Wentworth Springs too, maybe it was the altitude.
