New Car

Well, I replaced my old car already! I'm still waiting to settle the other one with the Insurance company, hopefully I don't have to go through their arbitration/ possible court process to get what I think's fair for mine. Right now, I think they're shorting me at least $1000, probably more if you look up 1995 Mercury Mystiques on cars.com, or autotrader.com.

But back to the purpose of this post, my "new" car is a 1998 Subaru Legacy Outback Limited. Leather Interior, heated seats, dual moon roofs, the works! So far it has driven great, but has had 2 minor coolant leaks that I know of. The first one Dave S. fixed for me, it was a super loose clamp on a coolant hose going into the heater (at least we think, that's what it looks like it'd be going into, and I haven't downloaded that section of my service manual yet!) The other one is on the other side of the engine, which wasn't leaking before the clamp was tightened, I'm guessing that the other place was easier for it to leak out, so it did. I'll get a new clamp, and hopefully that will fix that problem, and not cause it to leak out some other place!

I'll post some pictures of it, probably on Friday, since it is my day off, and I can take some pictures of it in the daylight!

Nope, He had last minute plans, but it looks like he may be able to go on friday. It'd be good to find a partner! (in the state :P)
