PB—you talking tony hawk pro skater 3?! for PS3!? The SHIT.
CH— I dont know. I dont really remember having an issue with it, and my sisters look pretty happy in that picture! We were easily amused. We also look like a junior Canadian hockey team, with the mullets and my sisters going through the lose-your-teeth stage. I hope it brightened your day

It was way cute Dasher. I should have known you were a youngest. The youngest are always the easiest to get along with. They are good at getting along with everyone.
new car is good. Trying to figure out how to break it in. Some stay baby it the first 1000 miles, others say drive it like you stole it. I heard the best is to just vary the speeds and rpm’s, but its harder than you’d think with a cvt transmission. I’ve got a whopping 120 miles on it.
Damn Japanese tsunami shutting down the factory for 2 months, stopping me from getting my 6 speed. Basically, they said I can buy the car, order directly from the factory, and be at the next available spot in line for the 6 speed, or turbo versions of the car, and to expect a 2013 delivery.

How do I properly break-in the engine in my new Subaru?
Your Owner’s Manual indicates specific suggestions for the first 1000 miles, which will aid in the performance and long life of your vehicle. Obviously, how you handle and care for your vehicle will play a major role in its longevity. Among the suggestions are: (1) do not race the engine. (2) Never exceed 4,000-rpm engine speed except for brief acceleration in an emergency. (3) Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time, either fast or slow. (4) Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency. (5) Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
Ahhhh the old knock a guy out, slip him in the girlfriends trunk.
He wake up naked in a strange woman’s apartment.
Has to jump out the window in a plastic garbage bag run 20 blocks to take train home trick…
Ahhhh memories happened to me a dozen times.

I found that page this morning. I hit 4800-5000 rpm for a second by accident. I’m still getting used to the placement of the steering wheel paddles, and hit downshift by accident, I immediately took my foot off the gas and upshifted. The car was warm, and had already been driven a little, I’m not too worried.
The dealership said to not be afraid to take her up to 90 on the highway, and to open up a little once its warmed up. I’ll save this for the tail end of the first 1000 miles.
Most people will probably think I’m a pussy after reading the above, but I bought, BOUGHT, not financed a 2012 car with 4 miles on it. Paid with a check.
