A few Subaru's have moved in to my garage so the only way to kill the is to hook up stainless steel pipes to them even though it may take awhile.

Do Subaru engines eat clutter? That shop looks pretty neat and clean... maybe I'll turn a few loose in my garage and see if it helps.

what was it like before they moved in? do they clean up after themselves?

what attracts them? should I just put out a pan of high quality oil and a dish of some nice high octane fuel?

Damn. My wife saw this thread and said I can't have any more Subie engines. I guess I'll have to clean the shop the old fashioned way. Sad

Your garage . . . as in the one sitting next to your house?!? With a lift like that? Geez, the better half DO have it better.

My Dad and brother run a little two bay shop in VA. I'm emailing them this thread so as to show them what a clean shop looks like. Maybe . . . just maybe . . .

Seems the Volkswagen engines excel in torque output/liter as well as fuel economy. Hard to argue with them apples.
