If there is nobody left to post, then the moderators (assuming their heads didn't also explode) would have to find something else to do. The only other thing in the world to do other than moderate (once everyone's head explodes) would be to drink heavily in despair due to loneliness. Then they would all go out in their Subarus and have a giant drunken destruction derby in the streets. It would be MADNESS!!!

yea ive heard this before and i know what you're saying...but the fact is...there's always going to be someone who doesn't use the correct wording or spelling

I did the magnet test on my '06 and it didn't stick. I tested the whole car, and true to their advertising, the only aluminum body panel I found was the hood.

2006 STI. I've got a section of my commute that is so wavy I thought for sure the hood would fly up. Passing a semi on a two lane road would scare the heck out of me and I would shrink over to the fog line.
I tried adjusting the rubber stops to no avail.
Finally went Sparco hood pins. No movement at all in any condition. They are kind of in your face, but the whole car is already in your face.
