I screwed the gas cap down good and tight, drove for a few days (like a responsible owner) and it&#8230; dah dah duuuuum&#8230; stayed on.  So I called Subaru, told them it had &#8220;just&#8221; turned on and said &#8220;WTF&#8221;.  He asked if the car was overheating, I told him &#8220;no, cause then I would have told you that the light came on _and_ the engine was overheating&#8221; (I obviously didn&#8217;t really say that&#8230; but I hope it came thru in my hesitant&#8230;. &#8220;um, no?&#8221;).  He then said that it was some emissions thing (probably) and that unless the car was overheating it was fine to drive and when did I want to bring it in.  Now (to quote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oldmanmurray.com\">OldManMurray<\/a>) here&#8217;s where I would normally be saying &#8220;to make a long story short&#8221;, but this story is already longer than the whole phone call&#8230; so anywho, I&#8217;m bringing it in tomorrow morning.  Hopefully they&#8217;ll fix it better than Chevy, who, for my StepDad&#8217;s Tahoe, simply disabled the check engine light when they couldn&#8217;t diagnose the cause after three visits (nice way to avoid CA&#8217;s lemon law).  I wonder if this is a result of that missed shift last week&#8230; nah, probably not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Car Story: My car&#8216;s &#8220;check engine light&#8221; came on last week.
