1. part of the touring package includes:

2-way power sunroof

Hehe man what a pain it would be if it was a 1-way sunroof. Manually push it open, then it lets you close. Or it opens on its own and you have to get ourside your to shove it back shut.

2. Full tank of fuel

Oooohhh! Wouldn't you hope if you just paid $28,574.00 for a gas the least they could do is throw in $20 in gas for you. Sheesh!

"Two Way" to the Subaru People meant "tilt and slide." In the "early days" some sunroofs (Like that in my 80 Capri RS Turbo) would "tilt" and was "removable" but, would not slide. But, yes, that would be funny.

I'll bring the sticker to snowshoe for closer scrutiny by whoever is interested. The sticker with the tape liner on it was exactly as I received it, along with with all the info and accessories (SVX jacket, car cover, a case of factory air filters, a case of factory oil filters, a case of platinum spark plugs, etc) that were given to me by the original owner. She said the sticker came with the car but was not applied to the window. In fact, she was at the dealership when Anchor Motor Freight pulled up with her SVX on the carrier.

The portion of the sticker with the gas mileage comparisons is perforated and able to be removed from the main body of the sticker. I'm not sure of why that portion should be removable.

The factory sticker comes from the factory adhered to the window. Actually, now that I think about it, it would all be *port* installed stickers, because SOA buys the cars from Fuji with no warranty. At any rate, I have never seen a car come to a dealership with out the *factory* sticker adhered to the window. So what I read from what she told you is that they handed her the *dealer* sticker. Hope I'm not bruising someone's preconceived notions again! The gas mileage stickers are also factory (or port) applied, so should have been on the car when it arrived on the truck.

Hello there. This is going to be fy first real post on this board. Not to start a wee wee contest, but when I turned wrenches at dodge, none of the cars or trucks had the factory sticker on the window. It was in the PDI packet with all of the check in and inventory crap on the passenger seat all shrink wrapped up. There was a little ziplock bag taped to the shrink, and thats where the keyes were. Mabey Subie does things different, but thats the way Mopar runs the game.

That's a real shame that we won't be able to see the sticker John, 'cause we're all gonna be up at Canaan Valley! Thought you were going to be there WITH us... Don

Jerry, I think the thread needs to be retitled.

You may be right about Dodge, considering what a backwards product they put out, they may just expect the dealer to install the *factory* sticker. But when it comes to Subaru and even Pontiac, Chevrolet, and GMC, I'm right...I had to check 'em in, right off the truck on many occasions.

sp you would know the pain of being in the middle of a PDY with a salesman hanging around like a vulture saying "When are you going to be done?? I've got a customer that wants to see that car!" and they love to repeat themselves dont they?

Salesmen learned very quickly to avoid any area I was working in. They'd get the owner to come back and ask if he could take the car. I once watched a service writer go over to a car in my stall, lower the hood on the car and drive it out of the shop. When he came back in the building I asked him how he was going to pay for the engine. He looked at me like "WTF are you talking about?" So I just kind of casually mentioned that the engine had no oil in it. His eyes got as large as pie plates and he turned a real purty shade of white, (he was oriental), and then I let him off the hook. I explained to him that it did have oil in it, but if he ever pulled a stunt like that again it'd be either him or me without a job, and trust me, it wouldn't have been me.


And theeeeeennnnnnnnn....

Nice one... I had a salesman lower a Ram onto the driver side rotor and drum wandting to test drive it. I cant remeber why I had the tires off, but I did. HE got kind of scared when the passenger tires where on the ground, and the drivers side kept going down........I almost lost my job over that one for chasing the clown out of the shop with a tork wrench. The only other reall big issue I ever had was a lot tech that decided he would help me out by reconecting the negative battery cable that I had obviously forgotten to hook up. Not that bad for you might think, but I was right in the middle of an airbag recall on the Neon. I got puched in the face by an airbag, and if the kid had been any slower on the run, he would have got punched in the face by a Zombie. I got a feeling we will be swapping lots of shop stories.

Actually I was very lucky in all those years. I never got seriously hurt, nor did I injure anyone else. We did have one guy that worked there that was a complete moron. In less than a year he blew up a euro style headlight in his face, (trip to the emergency room), drove a scirocco through the shop door while closed, (put brakes on and didn't pump them up before starting off), and pulled the plug on the hydraulic hoist while it was raised, (don't know why actually, but he could've killed himself. He didn't, but he spent *alot* of time cleaning hydraulic oil off of all the cars around him.)

Stories about working on or around cars...got tons of them!

Yeah, it got slow around Christmas time one year and he was crying that he wasn't getting enough hours. I suggested that he ask for his vacation pay, (we used to do that all the time when it got slow), he thought that was a *super* idea. What he couldn't get through that thick skull was when summer rolled around that he could take the week off, but he wouldn't get paid for it. I think his exact words were, "that's not fair, they have to pay you if you go on vacation." After 45 minutes of myself and the service manager trying to explain to him that he would have already used the pay, just not the time...we gave up.

I watched a lot tech get out of a lexus RX 300 to oen the shop door one, without putting the RX in park. He ended up running himself over, and hitting the door to the drive. Funny, he was the same lot tech that plugged in the battery on me.
