• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

The Quest for New Chase Ride Begins

Well, after a ton of research, a little help from a local hailstorm a few days ago, and a great deal on a vehicle with only 8,300 miles covered by a full lifetime warranty, I went back to Subaru. I got a white 2016 Subaru Forester, a lease return with a bit of a discount thanks to a couple hail dings, nothing serious, but enough to drop it into my price wheelhouse. The included lifetime powertrain warranty and the additional full warranty made it an easy decision when all was said and done.

Now comes the fun part of outfitting it, which will require some work, but fortunately the 2018 season is a bit slow, so I am in no hurry to get it ready. But this, I am hopeful, will be a lengthy life from this car given how young it is, and how well it'll be covered for major issues.

I am delighted with this purchase, and am happy to be getting into such a great vehicle at a great price.
 
Congrats and welcome back to Subie-land. I got a big discount on a Crosstrek that got totaled by the infamous May 8 hailstorm in Denver last year. I found every possible problem and got it all fixed under the remaining warranty, no issues whatsoever. The 400+ mile range has been amazing compared to my old WRX.

Some personal thoughts on chasing; the "chase" for social media glory and keeping it all in perspective (TL;DR/soapbox alert!)
