The water softener suggestion is a good one. Some municipalities and areas have water with high mineral content. Much of the time it's associated with people that have wells, but some cities have hard water also. Our water is remarkably soft and tasteless. My inlaws are 20 miles away and my...

First wash fo for me... washed the car last night at 1830. Sun was setting. No water spots if you wipe things down quickly. If you live somewhere that has hard water it's tough. You don't want to wash a hot car either. I also recommend investing in a good UV, vinyl, wrap, etc protectant...

Feel you. CA has some of the highest fuel prices, gas taxes and worst roads. Driving here is like navigating a mine field obstacle course. Hope its only one wheel. Good luck. 🤞

I always liked the red lip on time attacks. Any of those wheels would look good on your car. The bright chrome would pop. For summer wheels these would be nice. Weather in CA is temperate so I only own one set of wheels. @blkshadow their prices are good. Hopefully you can get the sizes...

Red cars can look great but they do they attract LE. Always best to fly under radar. I was stopped in two-way traffic yesterday. CHP opposing me. He casually glanced over but I think he was admiring the car. The exhaust on these cars definitely attracts attention. I like stripes if they...

Greetings, I'm an Android User but it looks like you can disable carplay on your iPhone under settings > screen time. You can also disable it on the car under devices. Android auto has similar features allowing you to have it start playing music when it connects to the car or start it...

@blkshadow, Is the badging removable? The tubes are awesome!

@mach1mike, Great recommendation! I keep a spreadsheet also of all service performed, right down to air filters and windshield wiper blades, but not where I buy gas. 😄 Date Service Mileage It's absolutely worth it even if all I'm doing is checking fluid levels, inspecting hoses, belts and...

Thanks I got the music thing down on the right side. I need to start programming my drive modes. That button on the top on the left I thought was for adaptive cruise but it probably does some other stuff I haven't read about yet.

This is so true. I've driven cars that have the lane assist feature but never owned one until now. Granted I haven't logged much time in the DH yet, but I did notice it when I was leaving town the other day. I was on a long uphill with a sweeping turn and it kept pulling me into the center...

Mine is a '52 Styliner Deluxe. 216ci, 3.5L. 95 horsepower bless her heart. I purchased her from my father who was the second owner. She's all original. I've kept it that way. Everything works. The original owner bought it in '52, in Ohio and drove it to Los Angeles where it lived until my...

Based on what I've read 3 to 6 months is normal build to order. I also was expecting to have to order a car. As I got closer to purchase I kept an eye out. Suddenly, a dealer that was only 4 mi from my house got the car I wanted. First color choice and all. When I reviewed the Monroney...

Yep I'm one of those individuals. I tricked my wife... second time around. I remember no power steering too LoL!

I've been using radar detectors for the last 40 plus years. Started with the original escort and moved to beltronics for a while. Then escort bought beltronics, and now both are owned by a conglomerate that owns cobra as well. I was never a fan of Valentine but they work. More recently I...

@D/\rK•650, I saw what you mentioned in regards to your car. I'm sorry to hear it because an issue like that would diminish all of the joy that comes with making a purchase like this. I hope Ford can fix it for you. 🙏 Hoping for a good outcome.

I ordered the same license plate relocator as @exm. $39 on eBay... A heck of a lot cheaper than the Perin Performance kit that I used on my STI. Sadly, Subaru uses a fine thread pattern and the Dark Horse is coarse Left-Handed thread. I used a tiny tiny flathead screwdriver with a real...

I also like the roof. No problem with it being black. I see GT's everyday. I have never seen a Dark Horse on the road. The dealer where I purchased mine had five they only have one left so I know they're out there.

Paid cash. I didn't give consent and disabled "driving habits including braking" when registering and in the app. Your forward facing camera is capturing data too. It's doing more than keeping your car centered in the lane. My insurance company hasn't contacted me either, but I suppose they...

Helpful topic for me since I just picked up my car three days ago. The drain bolt in my Legacy GT is 19 years old but all Subarus use crush washers. Plug on my STI was 10. Both have metal pans. I always replace the washers at an oil change. Thanks for the tips here.

Great color, beautiful cars!
