| 16:38.51 | fozzmoo | My Subie is getting a new windshield today. |
| 16:38.52 | Migs | I like snow, but it's too early |
| 16:39.09 | fozzmoo | And, because it's a 2014 model, I can' t get cheap aftermarket glass. |
| 16:39.25 | youtah | https://twitter.com/youtah/status/383101686060830721 |

| 16:40.04 | fozzmoo | youtah: That sunset picture reminds of the "Nexus ribbon" from ST Generations. |
| 16:40.45 | youtah | believe it or not, this is actually at Alta. https://twitter.com/youtah/status/383069857048055808 I seriously felt like I was driving in Norther New Hampshire on some logging road. |
| 16:41.06 | skrike | does northern new hampshire have logs? |
| 16:41.12 | youtah | Here's the Alta Lodge https://twitter.com/youtah/status/383065213303394304 |

| 16:41.45 | skrike | with snow... |
| 16:42.05 | skrike | IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A WEIRD COMPARISON JEFF |
| 16:42.05 | youtah | This was just before the bend to where you get to the parking lot, at the trailhead for Catherine's Pass https://twitter.com/youtah/status/383039356505579523 |
| 16:42.30 | youtah | it probably is, but oh well |
| 16:42.32 | skrike | oh wow. nice. |
| 16:43.13 | youtah | This is the actual trailhead. https://twitter.com/youtah/status/383039306039697409 I had to leave when I took this shot because several sheriffs told us they were locking the gate in 15 minutes. |
| 16:52.39 | jessie | skrike: Most of New England is heavily wooded. |
| 16:52.56 | jessie | It's almost Canada and there's a reason the area is known for maple syrup. |
| 16:55.15 | skrike | ah. good to know. |
| 16:55.59 | jessie | Yeah. I'd love to move to Vermont. Rural, pretty as sin, etc. |

| 17:07.00 | skrike | and sometimes they have lights |

| 17:07.17 | levi | Moab is not *that* far away, and not terribly expensive. |
| 17:07.24 | skrike | yeah I know. I suck. |
| 17:07.36 | jessie | A couple hours is all. Closer than St. George. |
| 17:07.44 | skrike | weve been tentatively planning a trip last few months. Ill make it there eventally. |
| 17:08.33 | jessie | That's okay. I've never been to Zions/All the National Parks down south. |
| 17:08.58 | levi | Yeah, I haven't been to Zions or Bryce. |
| 17:09.22 | levi | I keep meaning to, but haven't got to it yet. So I have no room to point fingers, but I will anyway. ;) |

| 18:33.24 | youtah | but he wasn't following me... HOW RUDE! |
| 18:33.27 | youtah | ;-) |
| 18:34.12 | youtah | I'm using JustUnfollow.com to help me find and remove all of the people that have gone inactive from twitter |

| 18:58.09 | eightyeight | what's wrong with following people who don't tweet often? |
| 18:59.20 | fungus | what's wrong with unfollowing a dead person. It's not like they are very interesting anymore. |
| 19:00.24 | eightyeight | so, someone dies, after you've already followed them, and now that you're still following them, your twitter experience is less than optimal? |

| 20:13.00 | youtah | He said, I inspected your rack and pinion and guess what, it would cost me about $2600 to replace it too, except that it doesn't need to be replaced |
| 20:13.13 | youtah | He put my car up on the lift and showed me that it was not leaking |
| 20:13.27 | youtah | So we put a UV dye in the fluid and he had me drive it for 2 weeks |

| 20:13.34 | youtah | I show up at his shop.... |

| 20:14.12 | fozzmoo | Wha? Why was the UHP there? |
| 20:14.25 | youtah | So turns out this Mechanic works on UHP's cars |
| 20:14.28 | fozzmoo | oh. |
| 20:14.38 | youtah | and he called them and said that he thought he had a fraudulent inspection case, so he came over |
| 20:14.49 | youtah | so the next morning, we went over at 7:30am and walked in together |
| 20:14.59 | youtah | the put it up on the rack, and they couldn't show where it was leaking from. |
| 20:15.05 | fozzmoo | Reminds me a little of my Tunex story. |
| 20:15.12 | jessie | I hate that in UT they can fail you for whatever. |
| 20:15.15 | youtah | We had like 4 managers there standing under the car with us |
| 20:15.26 | jessie | I once got failed for not having a battery strap/mount. |
| 20:15.31 | youtah | The inspection says "significant loss of fluid from the rack and pinion" |
| 20:15.32 | fozzmoo | jessie: Me too. |
| 20:15.51 | youtah | it has to be significant. |
| 20:16.00 | youtah | there was nothing leaking |
| 20:16.04 | youtah | so they gave them a warning. |
| 20:16.14 | youtah | the next warning was that they shut down their entire service department for a YEAR |
| 20:16.15 | fozzmoo | I saw lots of managers standing around when I was there today too. ;-) |
| 20:16.32 | youtah | the third warning and Mark Miller Subaru would have had their entire license revoked |
| 20:16.54 | youtah | I am scared to go back to MMS now, lol |
| 20:17.09 | fozzmoo | I'd prefer to have Nate Wade Subaru work on my cars, but they're that much further away. |
| 20:17.14 | youtah | yeah |
| 20:17.18 | fozzmoo | Anyone dealt with Doug Smith? |
| 20:17.19 | youtah | I make the drive anyway |
| 20:17.37 | joshh | it's hit or miss no matter what dealer you go to though |
| 20:17.51 | joshh | there are probably people who have great stories about mark miller |
| 20:17.56 | joshh | and bad stories about nate wade, etc |
| 20:18.06 | youtah | apparently the mechanic and the floor manager were both fired afterwards lol |
| 20:18.09 | fozzmoo | I should know better, really. I had problems with Mark Miller in Midtown back in 1994 when they "misdiagnosed" a problem with the engine in my Subaru #2. |
| 20:18.12 | joshh | its all just luck of the draw |
| 20:18.15 | fugue88 | Might boil down to the individual mechanice, service-writer, etc. |
| 20:18.33 | fozzmoo | The extended warranty company I was dealing with made me eat it, though. |
| 20:18.39 | youtah | honestly, I have heard a LOT of problems about Mark Miller, and "normal" problems with the others |
| 20:18.41 | fozzmoo | I had to put a used engine in there. |
| 20:19.27 | fozzmoo | youtah: I'll remember that. The people I dealt with today were nice enough. We'll see if the glass lasts. :) |
| 20:20.47 | youtah | yeah, although I am sure they're scared of having the deparment shut down, so they're probably flying as clean as possible right now |
| 20:21.02 | fozzmoo | So, I took Subaru #3 to Tunex to get a quote to fix an oil leak. They put it up on the rack and told me the oil pan gasket needed to be replaced and the passenger side valve cover gasket too. |
| 20:21.13 | youtah | Oh man, LOL! That UHP Sergent was pissed off. |
| 20:21.17 | fozzmoo | I'll bet. |
| 20:22.20 | youtah | wait, Tunex was telling you this? |
| 20:22.30 | fozzmoo | Wait, it wasn't the oil pan gasket... |
| 20:22.32 | fozzmoo | Yeah... |
| 20:22.39 | fozzmoo | It was the timing belt cover gasket. |
| 20:22.50 | fozzmoo | I had the timing belt done and a few months later, the gasket started leaking oil. |
| 20:23.04 | fozzmoo | So, anyway, I called the mechanic that originally did the work after tunex gave me a quote for those two gaskets... |
| 20:23.22 | levi | TB cover leaking oil isn't good. |
| 20:23.53 | levi | There's not supposed to be any oil inside to leak out! |
| 20:23.57 | fozzmoo | and he stopped me before I could tell him about the valve cover gasket and told me that a lot of mechanics will misdiagnose a valve cover gasket leak but it's really just the oil being blown back by the fan. |
| 20:24.24 | fozzmoo | I'm not a car freak (like you levi,) so I don't know where oil should/shouldn't be. Something around the timing belt. |
| 20:24.43 | jessie | levi: Well, valve cover/head maybe. |
| 20:24.52 | fozzmoo | Anyway, I took it back to my trusted mechanic. He fixed the one gasket and the leak stopped. |
| 20:25.20 | fozzmoo | So there's another story testifying to second opinions. No UHP in my story, though. |
| 20:25.21 | levi | Well, the timing belt cover is a dust cover to keep the timing belt safe, as if it breaks it trashes your engine. If oil is leaking from there, it means there's another leak behind it that would require more disassembly to fix. |
| 20:26.35 | fozzmoo | I (helped) replaced the timing belt on Subaru #3, so yeah, I know there's no oil in that compartment. |
| 20:26.45 | youtah | I'm strugglign to think of where it would have been coming from |
| 20:26.53 | levi | But a valve cover gasket leak could (I think, anyway) leak behind the timing belt cover. |
| 20:26.53 | fozzmoo | Maybe it was the oil pan. |
| 20:27.19 | youtah | all I know is that the last guy that changed my cars oil |
| 20:27.34 | youtah | put a cheap filter on it, and the gasket was leaking oil onto my muffler |
| 20:27.43 | youtah | it got to the point in which my car was filling with smoke |
| 20:27.45 | fozzmoo | Sniff sniff. Smells yummy. |
| 20:28.00 | youtah | Nate Wade had to srub it off the top of the muffler |
| 20:28.14 | fozzmoo | My new Forester will only take synthetic. |
| 20:28.26 | youtah | Lets just say while I was driving on I-15 to Nate Wade with all my windows rolled down AND my sun roof open, it was still choking me out |
| 20:28.27 | fozzmoo | But it only needs to be changed every 7k miles instead of 3k |
| 20:28.48 | youtah | Yeah, I am using synthetic in my impreza and I'm doing every 5K |
| 20:29.33 | joshh | never would have figured you for a subaru guy fozzmoo |
| 20:30.07 | joshh | with the glenn beck and everything |
| 20:30.12 | fozzmoo | Driving Soob #5. :) |
| 20:30.15 | levi | A coworker of mine got a Scion FRS when they first came out. They've got a sweet little Subaru boxer engine in them. |
| 20:30.20 | fozzmoo | And I've got a "Faith, Hope, Courage" sticker on the back. |
| 20:30.30 | youtah | LOL |
| 20:30.38 | fozzmoo | levi: Yeah. I'd love a FRS/BRZ with AWD. :-) |
| 20:30.45 | youtah | ^^ |
| 20:30.51 | jessie | BRZ's are pretty sweet. |
| 20:31.09 | youtah | Take the BZR, put a lift on it, give it some of those rally tires and make it AWD |
| 20:31.18 | fozzmoo | Subaru posted an April Fools Day announcement this year that they'd be soon be manufacturing a Diesel AWD BRZ. :) |
| 20:31.20 | youtah | So it looks kind of like that one Jayce^ found |
| 20:31.21 | levi | Nah, that'd spoil it! Subaru already makes a sweet rally car. |
| 20:31.30 | fozzmoo | youtah: Exactly. |
| 20:31.36 | jessie | Oh man, I'd love a Diesel AWD BRZ. |
| 20:31.51 | youtah | levi, http://i.imgur.com/MbLhmrt.jpg |
| 20:31.53 | jessie | That torque and gas mileage. |
| 20:31.54 | fozzmoo | Yeah, they were joking and the rest of us were crying. |
| 20:32.45 | levi | youtah: Heh, looks like the SUV offerings from Porsche and Ferrari. |
| 20:32.53 | levi | Well, reminds me of, anyway. |
| 20:33.24 | fozzmoo | I've been seeing a few of these four-door Porches on the road. They just look wrong to me. |
| 20:33.27 | youtah | Jayce^, discovered that it is the "Rally Fighter" http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rally_Fighter |
| 20:34.46 | levi | I have the stereo amplifier out of a Ferrari F151 in my cube. |
| 20:35.02 | levi | It's too bad that's the only part of the car I've been anywhere near. |
| 20:35.10 | fozzmoo | heh. |
| 20:35.15 | youtah | WHOA! fozzmoo ... that car was created under the CC-BY-NC-SA license. |
| 20:35.28 | jessie | See, I'd love one of the V10 TDI Audi Q8's or whatever. |
| 20:35.29 | fozzmoo | Oh, so you could... tweak it. |
| 20:35.40 | jessie | Something like 800 ft/lbs of torque. |
| 20:36.13 | levi | I want to put an LS-1 (or some newer variant thereof) into one of my Miatas. |
| 20:36.39 | levi | I probably never will, though. |
| 20:36.47 | fozzmoo | I was thinking about getting an Audi TT before I bought another Subaru. Then I did some research and discovered they're one of the most expensive brands in ongoing maintenance costs. |
| 20:37.01 | youtah | but why did they ahve to add the Non Commercial? |
| 20:37.39 | levi | I've got a coworker that has an Audi. It's been pretty good to him, apparently, although he's able to do most of the maintenance on it himself. |
| 20:37.53 | jessie | So many special tools, though. |
| 20:38.05 | jessie | Triple square bolts, and timing belt tools of strange costs. |
| 20:38.16 | jessie | You can't do a lot without the VCDS computer system. |
| 20:38.16 | jessie | Etc. |
| 20:40.17 | levi | Well, most cars specify special tools and stuff all over the place where normal tools could suffice, but would take longer. |
| 20:41.02 | levi | And things are just getting more and more computer controlled across the board. |
| 20:41.25 | levi | Ethernet in the car is not far away. |
| 20:41.32 | levi | (seriously) |
| 20:43.07 | jessie | I would love a standard for more than just simple code reading. |
| 20:43.28 | levi | So would the car manufacturers. |
| 20:44.14 | levi | Up to a point, anyway. |
| 20:44.28 | levi | They also want to be able to specify things exactly the way they want them. |
| 20:45.03 | levi | And to keep owners from installing stuff that mucks with their carefully-engineered system. |
| 20:46.42 | levi | The busses that they currently use are actually standard network protocols, and the messages tend to be simple enough that they could be reverse-engineered without requiring too much specialist knowledge or skill. |
| 20:47.55 | levi | Tuners are starting to get reasonably good at interfacing with them, although the message structure is pretty unique for every model and sometimes changes for various trim levels. |
| 20:50.08 | Jayce^ | aww man, missed that discussion :) |
| 20:50.15 | Jayce^ | yes, that car looks quite nice |
| 20:51.41 | Jayce^ | but hey, who needs a high performance rally car, when I have a cruiser |
| 20:53.13 | levi | I want to see if I can adapt the FJ Cruiser side mirrors to my Vanagon. |
| 20:53.55 | levi | Either that, or I want to get a pair of the stock late-model Vanagon power mirrors, but they're getting hard to find. |
| 20:54.22 | Jayce^ | yeah, new FJ cruiser mirrors could be fun on my 40 |
| 20:54.47 | Jayce^ | my original ones are getting too loose, constantly bounce out of position |
| 20:56.25 | levi | My vanagon mirrors are blown out of place at freeway speeds with the slightest of headwinds. |
| 20:56.59 | levi | There's currently one pair of the power mirrors available on car-part.com, and they're $150 each and scuffed. |
| 21:01.09 | Jayce^ | yeah, I gotta get mine licensed so I can go on the freeway |
| 21:01.23 | Jayce^ | almost there, but the stupid reverse lights stopped working |
| 21:03.09 | levi | If it's anything like an old Jeep Wrangler, it will not be terribly fun to drive on the freeway anyway. |
| 21:03.20 | Jayce^ | :) on yeah.. |
| 21:03.30 | Jayce^ | that's just for getting to the fun spots |
| 21:03.53 | Jayce^ | it's got the old 2f engine.. 6cyl heavy on the torque.. |
| 21:04.05 | levi | There's a reason you see so many of them on trailers going down to Moab. ;) |
| 21:04.05 | Jayce^ | thankfully I've got the 4 speed and some decent gearing |
| 21:04.12 | Jayce^ | exactly |
| 21:05.03 | levi | I miss my Jeep sometimes, but I think I only really only took it places I couldn't get in my Vanagon a couple of times. |
| 21:05.35 | levi | It's got surprisingly nice ground clearance. |
| 21:05.48 | Jayce^ | I tend to go to pretty rough places, but a lot of it was to have a vehicle for my son to start learning on |
| 21:05.54 | Jayce^ | plus I wanted to learn some more welding |
| 21:06.18 | fozzmoo | We're all going to need one, soon enough, to get to where it's legal to shoot your gun. |
| 21:06.33 | Jayce^ | I've got 4 years for he and I to get it nice enough for him to drive around |
| 21:06.39 | levi | Yeah, I will be figuring that out pretty soon to fix one of my Miatas, and I'll need to do a lot more welding to fix the rust on my Vanagon. |
| 21:07.06 | levi | Meanwhile, I have too many cars at my house I can't drive! |
| 21:07.56 | Jayce^ | although, I gotta say it's been really cool starting to teach my son stick |
| 21:08.30 | fozzmoo | Those bushes behind my parents' old house will never be the same since I tried to teach one of my friends how to drive stick. |
| 21:09.27 | fozzmoo | My brother taught me when I was six. Granted, at six, I only knew how to start the engine and ease off the clutch to get the truck moving forward in first. |
| 21:09.41 | jessie | That's the hard part. |
| 21:09.47 | fozzmoo | yup. |
| 21:11.03 | levi | Hopefully at least one of my Miatas will last long enough for my kids to learn on. |
