I too saw Ghost Ship and Howard the Duck. 13 year old Slidebite had a bit of a crush on Lea Thompson though, big 80s hair and all, so that made up for some of the awfulness. I'll add to the list The Love Guru. That was potentially the worst movie I've seen - maybe even worse than the other two.

Looks like they either should have been closer to the ground when they fired those, or not fired the second set. They came down like a rock after the second burst, which is what broke the right wing and left landing gear. Phanatic posted:The takeoff at 1:06 is also worth a gander. Also impressive.

The pilots didn't trust the computer, so they fired them manually. Apparently the smoke and shock of the first set made it seem like they were on the ground when they fired the second set, still 20 feet up.

Edit: To rephrase/clarify...the vertical rockets should have fired first, but didn't ignite. Then the upper pair, then after touchdown the remainder. I don't think the crew was aware the vertical rockets never lit, and the light/smoke/whatever from the upper rockets hosed up the crew's perception.

Unfortunately, I have yet another contribution to make. But to follow up on the Forester's burst turbo oil return line, it ended up taking the better part of two weeks to get it back up and running since the parts the technician had initially ordered didn't fit. In any case, I had only lost 3/4 qt of oil and it ended up being less than $100 in parts and such so no real harm was done. Now onto this morning's clusterfuck. Less than 10 yards after pulling out of the driveway in the Forester, I hear and feel a loud thud from the transmission tunnel as I was pulling away in second gear and a lot of shuddering. I pull off to the side and look underneath and am greeted with this.  After assessing that nothing else critical had broken, I slowly try to make my way back to my parking spot. I can't go too fast or else I get a lot of shuddering from what I guess is the center diff complaining that the viscous coupling isn't meant to send all power to the front wheels. As a result, I'm going as slow as I can while riding the clutch in first gear. On top of all of that, the shifter no longer points straight up in neutral since it looks like the driveshaft had smacked and dented the shifter linkage when it broke free.  Now that I think I know what an engaged viscous coupling feels like, I think I figured out what happened. The last time I drove the car, I noticed the driveline would shudder as I was pulling away from a stop while in first and second gear but would stop after getting to speed. My guess is that the joint had seized to the point that the transmission couldn't easily rotate the shaft while at a stand still until I got enough speed to unload the opposite end of the driveshaft as the rear wheels got moving. In any case, it looks like I'm going to need a new driveshaft. If it weren't for the fact that the Forester has broken down near work or home instead of on the streets or highway or I haven't had to pay a lot to get the car towed and repaired, I would be done with this car. I guess I really should count myself loving lucky I broke down where I did and the car hasn't immolated itself or filled the crankcase with milkshake yet. Despite COVID-19 and the associated insanity, I'm still busy at work making ambulances and emergency support vehicles (again I guess I should count myself fortunate) and haven't gotten around figuring out where or how to get the car fixed. And I still need to get around to throwing a cat on the exhaust to pass inspection but at least COVID-19 has granted me a two month extension to get that resolved. Also, yesterday was my birthday so yah!  Really though , I'm counting myself fortunate to have things turn out the way they did and I've developed a newfound respect for my poverty spec Impreza for being so dependable but that's probably due to it having only half of the Forester's 200,000+ miles.

Happy birthday! You’re going to need a new front yoke to go along with the seized cross bearing, unless they are included as part of the driveshaft assembly by Subraru.

I'd bet the shuddering also comes from a driveshaft slapping around unconstrained.

As far as the catalyst issue, It absolutely has a catalytic converter. It’s on the downpipe off the turbo in the stock front location. It shouldn’t be difficult to find. Your inspection tech must have been in a hurry to get home that day. Here’s the pic again showing exactly where it is. It’s marked SUBARU on the stock pipe and the aftermarket one has it in the same location.  Imperador do Brasil fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Mar 21, 2020 |

I don't know about the MT, or the Forester in general, but I think the owner's manual in my old impreza instructed that if you needed to use a spare, you were supposed to put it on the rear and pull a fuse that sent power to the center diff to keep it from munching itself.

You put the spare on the rear first, then jack up the front and put the good one you took off on to replace the punctured one. Though some of my cars the jack goes centrally and raises the entire side of the car anyway.
