I wish I would have taken pictures. I visited derp to purchase his wagon rear hatch and bumper parts but because mine had been rear-ended my hatch wouldn't open and the damn thing was about a half inch too big to go in the back doors, but after reclining the front seats and moving all the way back, we did wiggle it in through the front passenger door. Then I let the body shop deal with it.

The switch for the parking lights on top of the steering column. Is that Subaru's way to prank newbies?

'05 with 137k. All stock/original motor and drive train. Owned since 12/15 with 123k.

 

Change the oil every 3750 miles. Multiple Blackstone reports come back with only some lead in the oil (bearing wear). Need to look into a trans flush (5EAT) and brake fluid as well

 

How much lead? I started testing at 169k and currently at 202K at 8 ppm lead on a 7k OCI. My first report showed 6 ppm on a 3500 mile change.

Got mine yesterday. Thanks!
