it's a brand new car... I wonder if it's normal. and a lot steams coming out
of the pipe.

Ok... I have lots of excuses... I'd been working 70 hours a week for a
month... it was 6 am... it was foggy... it was dark and my flashlight
batteries were dead...  my jumper cable red and black are too close...  but
the bottom line is I messed up.

All Subarus I have seen (and some cars of other brands) tend to collect
some black (I guess it is carbon) stuff around the exhaust pipe.
But majority, even big truks have them just clean.
Anybody know why is that?

I love my new car. However, I have a few questions:
1) I do not like how the Automatic Climate Control works when it is very
cold out. It doesn't blow much heat out a first ( I guess it's waiting for
the engine to warm up) but even once the fans are going there is no heat

The manual recommends changing the cabin air filter yearly. Is that
something I can do or does it require a visit to the dealer?
TIA

I have the 2002 Outback in S. Calif. and the car is fine except it has a fogging
problem worse than I've had in other cars. When the air conditioner is turned off I
have to keep the fan setting on defog mode to keep the windshield from fogging.
Anyone else finds this a problem?

My STi came with a Subaru dealer installed turbo guage on the steering
column. I'd prefer to move it elsewhere. Does anyone know how to
remove the guage?
I think I may have to remove the case around the steering column. Is

Motorway. I know it sounds a lot but...
