I just recently lost my Grandma, which was sad, but the memories of her bring a smile to my face and warm my soul. Gone, but not forgotten.

Sorry for your loss. My granny has been planted a while now. She was an old battleaxe. She was great :smiley:

Oh, thanks. We knew she was going, her mental health and memory had been going for a bit, she was 94!

I didn’t mean to be making this the “recent family death thread” lol

nice. I love Subarus, I’ve had 3 over the course of the different cars I’ve driven. How badly does it shake?

I might be looking to buy a car sometime maybe in the next few years. Mine runs alright, but has some weird electrical issues. Nothing too critical, but like there was one time when I got in and it just wouldn’t shift out of park, then a while back the cruise control just stopped working. Seems like the sensors are all kinda freaking out a bit. Right now it seems to run fine, but I do have a check engine light on and can’t use cruise control (which I’m ok with). Also, the dash vents for heat and AC no longer direct air to the proper vents.

A few years back it was in the winter and it was like -20F out, and when I got in my car and was getting the heat on and trying to change which vent the heat was going to, but the dial wasn’t moving easily (as it usually would in the cold). I kinda forced it over, but after that it would no longer go to either the full right or full left position (defrost or dash only). What more, the air doesn’t really come out from where the dial indicates it should be, like I’ll have it set to warm my feet, but it’ll still come out from the defroster, and a little bit from the dash. I can still get enough heat on the windshield to defrost it, what I usually do is just blast it at full, but I can’t really send it to my feet or to the dash very well.

I think a belt just got twisted or something, but I haven’t really opened it up to check it out, nor taken it to a shop. But it doesn’t impact how it runs, so it’s not too bad.

Cool! Not sure how savvy you are with cars so forgive me if I’m telling you things you already know, but the shaking is probably something simple, maybe the tires need a rebalance/alignment. I would get that looked at pretty quick though or else you’re gonna be chewing those tires up if that’s the cause. Not too much money either, in the realm of car shit.


#962

Yeah, I had a car where I smacked one of the front wheels into a curb, and when I took it into a shop the first time, they installed an alignment kit but apparently didn’t notice that the entire frame had been bent. After I think the third time I went in to get an entire new set of tires for because they’d keep wearing down to the threads, I took it into another shop who actually were able to fix the problem, namely the frame being bent. It never quite drove the same again, but after that it at least stopped chewing through tires.

An alignment should be in order tho, but as long as it’s not a serious issue, it’ll fix it right up!
