Since you have a car with unknown service history, it would be a good idea to perform a complete service on the car. That way, you will can start fresh with a new history. I'm not sure how much change in coolant temperature is normal for your vehicle, but what you describe is beginning to appear a bit too much. However, if your weather is as hot as it is here, that may be normal. 1. Yet, I think it is a good idea to drain your coolant, flush and refill with fresh coolant plus water pump lube, and change the thermostat. 2. Replace the spark plugs and ignition leads. This is a good time of the year to do items 1 and 2 above while the weather is warm. Don't wait until frost arrives. Tire noise due to uneven wear often make sounds in sync with wheel speed, or a multiple of wheel speed. Wheel bearing noise makes a grinding sound and may not be synchonous with wheel speed. However, you have a Subaru and many of those have all wheel drives. The noise you hear may be in the drive line. If the noise is quiet while going straight, but increases while turning, suspect the front CV joints. If you have a transfer case, check the lubricant level in it. Inspect all joints in the drive line.

A2--How do we get me out of the ABB? I guess I need to suck it up and start making road trips to tile stores again. I know I need help from everyone here also, but have been too afraid to post my own tile thread. My knees are knockin'! :) The grease bullseye is just a year of cooking. Because my hood is only 600cfms and 24" deep, I try to do all my searing, woking, and other high heat cooking on that back center burner for best HOGS capture. Hey, I cook. It's a kitchen. BUT it does tell me I need a tile behind the rangetop that can handle that kind of abuse. And I'm not exactly ABB, I still need a pantry door handle, ceiling fixtures, DR chandy, and banquette. I'm starting to feel ashamed that the kitchen has looked almost exactly like this for a year without me finishing much. Will you be cutting on your Boos cart top? I'm guessing not if you're considering something other than just oil. I love the look and feel of my Osmo. It looks great for months before it needs another coat, although that's even less now that it's been coated a handful of times. I don't think I'd mind the regular maintenance of oil, especially in such a small area, but I'm not sure I could choose oil over Osmo now that I've lived with it for a year. For what will you use the cart? Nancy--After my woodworker sanded the counter in November, he applied one coat of Osmo Polyx Oil and asked that I apply one more in 24 hours. I have a tiny little can of the Osmo and it's last me through at least 5 coats. I don't use much at one time. For some reason, I didn't know you had an Osmo counter. Nice to have company! Firsthouse--I don't really think I'm that conscientious about my counter. Unless you have wild hooligans that routinely run through the kitchen beating their chains and numchucks on the counter, I think your counter would look the same as mine after a year. I don't think I do anything special with it. Alexx--Thanks! I love my pulls, too! Is that wrong to say? :) I have had zero problems with anything getting in the screws or with the fact that the pulls are mounted from the front. The knife block is a Wusthof 14-slot knife organizer. DH brought it home from work (restaurant supply co), but the Wusthof is sold many places, including Amazon. Hope I answered everyone's questions! Your compliments are so appreciated. -------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: I'll add a link to Part 2 of this thread where I answer the question below from Amanda.
