What just happened.


Want to know what I did to my subaru today... I drove it... stalled it twice. WTF? I never ever stall. Both time coasting to a stop light. Idle is low. Something not right. I'll look at the numbers on my lunch break and see what's up.

Did this before. Drunk rearended a blue modded subie in front of me. Pulled out the phone and got him crashing into the side of the mountain on 9 and still drove away. Inconvenience now tho. i have to go to court as a witness since I gave the video to the chp.

Further down the road the blue subie comes blasting past me in the other lane and gets in front of the drunk and slams his brakes on forcing him to stop then I got on the left and we basically boxed him in. off duty officer in a black cummins was behind me too so he stopped in the back and got out to remove the keys from ignition. Took chp another 10 mins to get there after we stopped. A total of 30 mins after I made the call.

We need more sheriffs around santa cruz county....and more ambulances.

No air box. Everything looks tight. Gonna pop the MAF sensor out in the morning and clean it. I'm thinking that wouldn't surprise me. Hopefully it's just dirty and not failing.
