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?

I do declare, that I should be Subaru's official longevity tester or something. They have yet to provide me with I power plant that can withstand normal abuse. Don't get the idea that I don't take care of my *hit. I truly do. The Lagacy has been starting to act up over the last few weeks; so I killed the car.

Jesus-titty-****ing-Christ Jeff! Stop killing engines!! I'm just glad it isn't the trannies you touch that are dying. Are you still getting the 08 STI?

^ Works for me.
Update:
I went home for lunch. Checked the car out. Tried to turn it over, no go. Tried again.... I don't believe it. Putter Putter, spit spit, vrooom. It F'n runs!!!
Good News: My attempt at total engine failure was unsuccessful. It's a tough little sucker that ain't going down without a fight.
Bad News: It's still F'd. The radiator blew it's top. It's sputtering at idle. No smoke yet. I'm going to do a compression test when I get home to see if anything comes to light.
Same News: The car is going no matter what. I can not stand a maintenance machine. This POS cost me $1000 bucks. I have no shame in letting it go. Hopefully my LGT will be ready by the end of the week.

No '08 STi. I'm going to have a really tough time spending that kind of moolah on a car that will eventually suffer the same fate as the rest of my cars.
