Another one bites the dust....
While heading down Bearcreek Rd. Last night, The temp gauge on the Lagacy pegged out and blew the safety plug on the radiator. I pulled over to check things out and let things cool off. I called AAA to come get me; they said I only had 5 miles worth of towing and I'd have to pay the rest of the way. I decided to turn it around and start heading for home. It was smoking and steaming like crazy the whole way. I made it all the way to the 85/Almaden Expy Exit(1/2 mile from home) where it died at the stop light. This bugger is toast. Luckily I've been working an 05 LGT wagon for the last couple of weeks. It should be available later this week.
ADMIN: Can I get my "Blue name" changed to the "Engine Killer" This is officially the 9th Subaru motor I have blown since Dec 17 05. I think I have earned it....
Someone please report this to the Admin so they can see my request.

Dunno what went first. The radiator went first, then it just got really really hot. I Knew I was going to put it into the ground. I wanted to see how far it would go. I'd bet that if I didn't have to stop at that intersection it would have gotten me home. Should've kept the revs up. Oh well. Anyone wanna swing by and help me take the useable stuff off? Hey Mike, does Karim pick up junkers?

F*** it was starting to cost me money. Instead of letting it die slowly; I figured I'd kill it quickly.
