RWD beats FWD for fun for sure.
You've had the car seven years now? How many miles?

Yes, it seems that many of the dealer techs used way too much RTV which quickly got into the engine and boom. Toyota and Subaru seems to have covered new engines/blocks for most that were easily found to have RTV in the oil filter/pan. I really hope I'm good. I was very close to trading mine in on the 17+ Toyota 86 earlier this year.
I cannot believe it, but I have had the car for more than seven years and 41k miles. It sometimes feels like I just bought the car and other times feels like I've had it forever. Maybe that's a good thing?
