James, it was the first thing I showed juice! Tis such a good idea, plus the car is green so it just HAD to be so! My neighbor is from Ireland so I showed her the frame.


TISCHER SUBARU license plate frame, USD 22,547
Black marker, USD 0.67
Look on her face: priceless!

PS - My wife knows you by name but, um, she's kind of tired of me talking about the silly license plate frame. (I want to find some black paint to make the C all but invisible.) It still cracks me up. Good work, my friend.

Lucien, you would have loved it. Subies everywhere; in the driveway, on the lawn, parked up and down both sides of the road. What a sight.


Great pictures juice! You were right - they came out well. I'll have you know that wasn't just any old dust - I picked a light, golden-tinged pollen that I thought would compliment the Titanium finish. Wish I had stayed for the videos, but I was coming off the end of a long week and it felt really good to get home in time to actually relax. Next time!


Bob, I think you're right - Annie knows what *really* matters. Good food and good friends!


Mike, you could get a piece of sandpaper or something similar and simply *remove* the paint altogether. It's only the top surface, and underneath is plastic that is exactly the same color as the rest of the frame. If you wanted to get fancy you could use a fine grit sandpaper after you get the paint off, #800 for example, then a touch of polishing compound (not wax) to remove the sanding marks; the result would almost look like the C was never even there.


Cheers,
WDB

KenS: no, I just met all those guys (and gal), so I didn't feel it was appropriate to ask, at least not yet. Next meet, maybe. I bet if I had a lot of them would have let me, though.


I did sit in a few. The seats are the same except the fabric, but much, much lower, so it feels different. Interior is very familiar. Liked the leather shift knob and steering wheel cover, which I've added to mine myself. Moonroof is metal, though. The dash is awesome, love those white instruments, though I prefer the bigger tach in our Forester.


JP: for the record, Mike gave you full credit for the idea. We all got a real chuckle out of it.


WDB: yes, the pollen blended perfectly. So I guess it's Titanium season?


Ah, AH, ATCHOOO!

TIS HER SUBARU by miksmi

WDB, you're thinking so far outside my box, I can't see you! Removing the offending paint instead of painting over it doesn't dovetail nicely with my engineering solution involving clamps, extension cord, and a tool that I never use, Dremel high-speed grinding tip. Oh that's right, KISS. Thanks for reacquainting my head with earth. ..Mike

The Next Meeting Place by thecat

OK all you Road Warriors ... I have a proposition. In Northern Harford Co. Maryland (easily accessible from all 50 states) is "Rocks State Park". Lots of things to do. Hiking, ball fields, BBQ Pits, playgrounds for the kids (both old and young), in general just a great place for a meet. Plus it's a great county ride (if you take the proper route).
So ... I am proposing a "Subaru's on the Rocks" meeting for sometime in June or July .. bring the kids, dogs, a cooler and whatever else you require/desire.
Feedback regarding a date (if interested) is requested !!!!!

Any Sunday but Father's Day. Can't normally do Sat., but could try to get time off if not near a holiday. If we get a date set early it betters my chances. How's June 11 sound?

Haha, great name. Way to go Steve! I've never been to Rock State Park! If I may be so bold, may I ask that you write a route description to hand out the day of the meet? Sure would be fun to caravan on "the proper route". I can reproduce route instructions once we get a head count. Please click on my profile for my email address so we can discuss some ideas offline; I'll post the summary here.


Thanks for your suggestion.

For those interested or sitting on the fence, here is a link to Rocks State Park for your review. <http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/central/rocks.html>


I think I'll leave the Rock Repelling to the more adventurous and will stick with the Beer Consuming and Food Chewing.

Great Idea by ateixeira

Sounds perfect. I'd be into the hiking on the pet trail, canoeing (do they rent?), tubing, and swimming. Heck, the wife and baby, and even the dogs could come along.


Hmm, maybe we could meet for breakfast in Forest(er) Hill?


It's only about 90 minutes from DC.

PS June 11 should work for me
