State of the Car
According to the fine folks at Carlsen Subaru my (usually) beloved ’02 WRX has a “bad” ECU (engine-control unit). They didn’t say “bad”, they said “out of spec”. They’re sending it back to the East Coast for diagnostics (which probably means a new chip). This means I get a rental car until they return the car. I see from looking on the National site that I have a wide and boring range of options. I’ll probably end up with a red Cavalier… joy!
BTW – Carlsen Subaru on the Peninsula (Bay Area) really is a great dealership. The salespeople I’ve talked to are cool, and their service department is excellent.
