I hate rain. It always rains here when I HAVE to do something with my car.

As for oil, I usually use Castrol GTX, or PENZOIL if its on sale.

I was a redline and royal purple kinda guy but I travel way too much on the turnpike. I ended up pouring the full synthetic out in 45 days due to the severe turbo schedule.

Still no luck. Waiting for the ice and snow to melt. Got another 800 or so miles before it was "needed" to be changed still.

happy newyear guys... ive been neglecting my car simply because i am broke. she needs a throttle position sensor and a drivers seat cover/foam. the existing seat works fine, no tears even but the gray dye is wearing off on the left back bolster and the foam is collapsed from the huge *** guy that owned the car before me.

also got a harley decal for the rear window for test riding a sportster. i think it breaks up the tint pretty well.

Fleabay may have the seat skins as a set. Junk yards may still have the seats as well in better or far worse condition.

We had a "Lovely" snowstorm here and the Hankook Mileage Plus tires didn't really care for it. Will put snow tires on my list for next year if I don't fix/sell the Subaru by then. can't wait for the weather to reach the 40's so I can get this salt off the car.

I know what you mean. I had a 4 hour trip on a damp, salty highway yesterday, and when I got home, my car was coated in salt. It rained hard last night, so that took a lot of the heavy stuff off. When the weather clears up, I'm gonna wash it, and get some work done on my interior lights, try to fix my speaker, and finish off something I started in october.
