Good. Now read what I posted. That's treating people (like friends and family) like homeless hobos. Oh it's gift season. Can't give them cash that may provide a meal or roof over their head. Let's give gift cards this gift season. That way when they spend it, it will be a gift from meeeee even though I can't be bothered with them in any aspect.

Lol wat. You're not making any sense dude and your gift card rage is silly.

Do you have an address I can send a $.02 amazon gift card to you at?

It's loving money. Suck it up and appreciate that someone is giving you something at all.

It's usually ended up expired or from a company that didn't honour it.
Suck it up and realize buying them is loving retarded.

in the US it's illegal for GCs to expire. Also, Amazon gift cards are the bomb. If 10 people can give me $50 gift card I can now buy myself a $500 item I really wanted.

It’s my first winter in CO coming from the midwest and a few thoughts

- This much sunshine is really throwing me off. Decades of dreariness has conditioned me to feel terrible this time of the year and the fact that I’m not is weirding me out

- However, there are so many Subarus here that no one does the Subaru wave and that makes me sad

- It’s only snowed a few times but it’s been way tamer that I would have expected - that being said, there are a looooot of people that seem to struggle driving through it, I have no idea why

- Blizzaks seriously are the best thing in the world - mountain driving goes from white knuckling to just being cautious

- I’ve noticed a lack of janky, rusted out piles of poo poo that I’m used to seeing rolling around everywhere in the midwest which is probably due to emissions? On the downside, every 4x4 is like 3K more than what it should be on craigslist

So far so good though, I much prefer this sunnier version of winter

Re: Subaru wave

Locally we have a lot of subies and the wave seems to be restricted to the turbo models and the obvious enthusiasts (some form of visible modification).

I'm trying to think of how many people I've seen driving around in performance or modified Subarus whom I'd want to wave at or be associated with.

Giftcards are the worst.
"couldn't be hosed doing anything other than locking you into one shop that may have conditions of use".
It's worse than cash, and it's not really a gift. Just send cash or a proper thoughtful gift.
I have strong opinion on this because amazon is poo poo, plus I never bothered to cash in a gift card most times. $$$$ wasted by the people that bought them for me and now I wouldn't get anything decent for them ever. The few I used was to buy a gift for someone else next christmas I think.
I'm fussy and get what I want where I want and don't carry giftcards around everywhere with me so they are often forgotten (plus often not valid where I want to get something right now)

A gift card is the lamest thing ever. Shops that sell them suck, people that buy them are fools. Stick cash in a card or something jeez.
It's like treating your friends and family like hobos begging for money. "no, I won't give you cash because you'll use it for drugs/booze, but I'll bring you food/a blanket". Like "can't trust this person with cash they'll use it for blow and hookers" type poo poo and retailers feed on that and hope all the people you buy gift cards for never use them.

My mom gives or sends Chik-Fil-A or Cracker Barrel cards on every occasion you can think of. So if I am ever homeless I guess me and the kids can eat for a few months because while I have nothing against those places I just don't go to either of them more than once a year.

It wasnt that bad, after you left I got to help put out the fire!

The northeast is dominated by Subarus too but turbo or modded ones will sometimes wave. I'm not sure if it's my wheels and Hellas or the soobie noobies think mine is a turbo because of the non-functional hood scoop.

OK, I finally got the title for the Majesta. I have it clean AF. I have everything working (including air suspension) EXCEPT for HUD (which I may just not know how to activate, it beeps but its the only thing all in Japanese) and the nagging thing the airbag light is on (idiot transport driver somehow triggered it pulling fuses like a dumbass).

Took it by local Toyota to see if they could clear the light and they told me unless it was in their computer they had no one who could even begin to know. Jesus.

Online says this era LS / Supra you can do some wire "dance" from a port on steering wheel to clear but that doesn't exist on this Japanese model. Anyone? I am about ready to just throw it up for sale and see what happens.

Oh and lastly I still don't know how to remove hood and trunk struts without damaging anything to replace. Their are no pins or clamps.

I've read about that in the LS forums, but the consensus was it's not a good idea to do. I would just leave it be, or if the cluster is relatively easy to take out remove the bulb.

Any code reader than can read body codes from that era Toyotas will probably retrieve/clear that airbag light code. Post a pic of the hood struts, they probably have c clips or something.

Not a good idea - why? Could fry something?

And probably not going to pull this if there is even a bulb to be pulled:

I used to actually be anti giftcard (although maybe not quite as rabid) as I thought they reeked of pure laziness, but I've mellowed a lot. As I've become older I know that I've become impossible to buy for so I typically get gift cards and I'm appreciative of it for many of the reasons stated earlier. I far, far prefer that over some tacky poo poo I'll end up throwing away, donating or just re-gifting to someone and cash would just go straight into my wallet into general cash.

Also, they are a godsend for people with addiction issues that can't be trusted with straight cash.

Toyota (here in town, which I like this dealership) brought the lead tech out and he said they got rid of all the old scanners, and anyways I have not found a "port" on this vehicle, doesn't mean one isn't there I just don't know where. On US models it is supposed to be on steering column.

New US LS replacement struts which I am guesstimating are correct have yes your standard C clips, this does not. Will try to get a pic later today.

Not really, because an addict will just sell a $100 gift card for $50. Better off not buying them anything besides a trip to rehab.

I would honestly rather receive a gift card then get something I didn't need/want and will never use.
