@@blazryn54 I guess I'm not following? I do that with every car I've ever been in - otherwise you're sitting there gathering your stuff up to climb out melting in the heat and humidity. I always wait so that the last thing I do is I'm collected and ready to step out of the car with my legs swung around then switch the engine off and stand up

Heck yeah! There's 3 parts I got video of in the short time I had, not the best video quality since I was so distracted by all the everything everywhere :D I also got some still photos during the tour posted on my website in among my other con photos...not all the displays came out as clear as I hoped but still interesting. I think that AV panel could have been 8 hours long and still scratched the surface of all the stuff in there, SO cool seeing it and wish I could have got around to see and hear more stories from everyone. Such an amazing effort going into all that! millerm.org/foliogallery/index.php?album=Anthrocon+2024

No idea...I'm amazed I would make it into any recommended feed given I so rarely post and random topics, and for sure not what I consider high quality content.

Odd thing was they seemed to not do it again for the rest of the distance until they turned off onto another road, I'd have expected a drunk or other ongoing medical issue to keep making mistakes on these winding roads

@@matthewmiller6068 one little adrenaline push after that little off-roading session :D

I think so (different part number probably though)...mine isn't holding the hatch quite all the way up by an inch or two but I haven't yet got around to ordering replacements. When I did the hood I examined the new ones closely before attempting to remove the old ones to better understand what I needed to look for. If I get to doing the rear I will try and remember to do another video.

I think someone in the SubaruOutback.org forums did a mod cutting a hole in the fender liner and installing a port-hole to access the bulb that way but I don't have a link

Yeah, the lenses on mine fogged after probably 6-ish years (outdoor parking) and I had to change them. It sucked but made a HUGE difference in being able to see. I think mine took most of a day because I am not comfortable prying on stuff if I don't know how it works but there's a bunch of UA-cam videos out there that are helpful. I recall a lot of the push-pins were dirty and didn't want to come out easily and also had some difficulty where I was scared of pulling too hard on parts. But I was successful eventually. Remember to install the new bulbs in the low-beam housings before installing the housings on the car...just replace both even if they are still working because it sucks so much to do once they're in the car. Also be careful replacing the halogen bulbs, if you touch the glass of them it can create hot-spots from skin oil on the glass and cause them to fail prematurely. If you accidentally touch the glass, stop and clean the bulb glass off with a lotion-free tissue or paper-towel and isopropyl alcohol or acetone to ensure there are no oils or residue on the glass.

The connector on the back of the low beam headlight bulbs is just a push-on with 2 "spade" type blades and friction holding it. It doesn't have any clips holding it on, just friction. It's also a bit annoying because as you're trying to pull the connector off of the bulb the bulb is moving around because it's held in by a wire spring clip so it feels like something is loose but it's just the bulb moving around in the spring clip. If it's really really stuck it might be necessary to go in through the wheel well like the owner's manual says for replacing those lamps so you can get a better grip, or potentially take the bulb out and then pry the plug off the removed bulb up in the fender.

@@matthewmiller6068 I’m gonna try to throw some rubber gloves on and do it from the wheel well but I got my right side done in less then an hour but this side is taking me all day lol

@@matthewmiller6068 and right it’s annoying the life outta me I’m bout to give up and go to a mechanic 😭

Bro how’d you get the connector off

Its hard with so many people, everyone is going to be in someone's way at some point! I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I did seeing the 611 steaming along, for years I saw her on display and wondered what it would be like to see something so huge move under its own power. Still remember standing on the platform and feeling the unexpected wave of warmth as it passed the platform! Wish I could have got to the excursions this month but a lot has been happening at home and work thru October so I haven't had the chance.

@@matthewmiller6068 I had an absolute blast on that trip! I think that was my first time in Manassas since Train Day 2008(?) (which was the only time I had ever ridden a VRE train with a GP40-2c). I remember it very well, feeling the warmth, weight, and power from her that morning. I believe it was my first time seeing an active steam engine and it was an incredible experience. Video can't do it justice. I recently saw her at Strasburg. She couldn't go nearly as quickly as she did in 2015 (though apparently she was hitting 70mph in the 80s) on the old jointed rail up there but it was still very nice to see her again.

12 minutes?! I don't work on cars a lot but it probably takes me that long to get 1 wheel and the plastic molding off so I can begin fighting the push pin clips in the fender liner.

I don't remember the numbers but the DRL uses the hibeam bulb at lower voltage (inner lights near grill) much easier to access and I think just twist a partial turn and lift out without extra clips or covers Only the low-beams are a nightmare to reach. Fog lights are easy thru the bottom laying on the ground (couple pins and pull plastic down) And the drls are not to be confused with a dim accent/parking light goes somewhere next to the hibeam bulb too (but is easy to get to)

Also beware using LEDs in the hibeam/DRL will result in blinding everyone because the LEDs are efficient enough to be full brightness with the DRLs on (so basically always hibeams) so please stick with halogens in the hibeam position (I see this blinding me so often these days in my area) Its hard to test the DRLs yourself as it has to be out of park with the parking brake released so I suggest an assistant to help hold their foot on the brake pedal and put it in gear (low beams must be off too) if you want to see how thr DRLs look

I wasn't around for much of that fun, first computer was a Mac Centris 610 in the mid 90s as a kid and my first PC was WindowsME and floppies were the oldest format I got to experience. Lot of cool older stuff happened though, I have enjoyed a bunch of the UA-cam personalities out there.

​@@matthewmiller6068 MacOS 7-9 and then switching to ME?!? Boy, you had a hard youth *g*

Believe it or not somehow this project to test more still hasn't gone further, but I'm still curious so maybe one day!

And the last dance was so hard to choose from 😭 but I’m not surprised Adondis won

Not sure - does your driver's side blow more often? Seems like my driver's low-beam and fog bulbs blow about twice as often as the passenger side bulbs.

@@matthewmiller6068 We usually have to replace both every year

The way it floated (you can see the shadow) I was worried it may come thru the windshield, hitting anywhere else seemed my best case for a bit. I was shocked I missed it

It was a wooden pallet and has bled off almost all of its energy by the time the offending truck passed. Glad the poster is safe and kudos to them for calm reactions, but there was no damage to be done by the pallet in this situation.

@@lezhu6856 I believe it was helped off by the rush of air when it passed the semi tractor that was farther ahead of me, had I been following them more closely and in a bigger hurry there's a pretty good chance I would have been under it as it came down. I was in a little sporty car not a SUV and if I had hit it I'm reasonably sure it would have done quite a lot of damage even if it was not still moving... Even at stock height I have bottomed out on some driveways and parking lot humps. Usually I'm in a bigger hurry but that particular day I was just chilling cruising along enjoying the ride. The GPS speed doesn't quite reflect how rapidly I slowed down, that was every bit of stopping that car had in it including the ABS kicking in and tires starting to screech to reduce speed as fast as I did.

Unfortunately my passenger side one hasn't burnt out when I had time to make a video but its very similar behind the air filter box and intake. I don't know why but the driver side on my car seems to burn out much more frequently than the passenger side.

@@matthewmiller6068 I just did both sides and it took hours. The little maker lights are killers. But thanks for your video!

@@timjederberg9322 yeah, the marker ones are the worst I have had to do so far. I need to replace a driver's front turn signal went out last weekend and I am expecting that to be painful.
