Is yours back from the shop yet? I am firmly a member of #teamvariousshadesofblue again and can now drive without feeling like my car is going to tip over

nope not yet.. yesterday they told me they had to order a new rear shifter bushing for my car. Hopefully they get it today and are able to get it fixed and back to me by the time I get off work.

I wasn't supposed to have mine back until tonight or saturday but he called me last night and asked if I wanted to pick it up. Was super excited but when I got there and turned the OFT on the oil temps were up at 125 so they had clearly been driving it.....but they did a flawless job on the paint match and putting the new bumper on with no gap.

Told him about the turbo in a year or so he was like you need to bring that back so I can see it. The shop is 2 cool brothers who build cars in their spare time. Mostly hot rods but they always have some really nice beemers and mercedes sitting in the back

almost Every subie engine I've seen after 30-50k km lol at least if it's the same noise I'm thinking it's fairly common and (read at some point, unsure if accurate or not)not really cause for concern, just a characteristic of their engines

Very good idea, saving that for future use

Don't put too much thought into it, it was just a bad wordplay attempt

Yeah I do it everytime I'm not with the car.. ever since someone locally had saw their 350z at a tacobell drive thru where the mechanics were ordering lunch and did a drift out of the parking lot. It became a huge story because it was from a Nissan dealership in Antioch and I believe the mechanics ended up getting fired.

I think I saw this on Facebook or the news. Don't recall a drift though

Yeah I feel like its normal as it doesn't really sound bad necessarily just different.
