Long live the embossed license plates! I hate that they've moved to the flat digital plates. In Ohio, they've transitioned their general circulation plates from embossed to digital within about the last year or so (part way through the first letter being a "J" in the 3-letter 4-numeral...
And to threadjack/piggyback off this question, it's talked about often to drive easy until the oil is up to temp. Does that mean full operating oil temp like in the 190F range? Or are we good to get on it at, say, 140F?
I like my Forester Wilderness. The ground clearance, the revised final drive ratio, the cooled CVT, and it's easier to change the oil than any car I've owned. That final drive ratio, while it takes away MPGs, gives it enough get up and go if you properly work the torque band without just mashing...
Does the same unwritten rule apply for CVT fluid that is does for legacy transmissions... where if it hasn't been changed by a certain point, don't change it?
So, so ready for this movie!
Very loosely based on an actual bear that ingested a brick of cocaine!

You don't hear it any other time like when driving certain RPM ranges, right? I had a spun bearing once that sounded like that on a cold start. But I also heard it when driving around 3k RPM as well.
Not to keep threadjacking here, but I worked 12hrs/day 7 days a week on that ship. Sounds grueling, but there was literally nothing else to do, except fish if the crew let you use their equipment.
Sorry, OP, I'll let it get back on track.
I get it. I was on a NOAA research ship for 2 months in 1999 and it was the same. Never a short supply of ice cream, and since I was near the equator, I ate my share of it. It's also where I saw The Deer Hunter for the first time, which should be on my list above. And Apocalypse Now.
