Here’s my Richard Burns based Impreza, the RB5! (Richard Burns number 5)

That’s not a bunt home run. This is a bunt home run.

People make fun of the whole “I don’t feel safe at night unless my car has AWD” thing, and I agree it’s largely unnecessary in most cases. I also honestly cringe when I hear subaru adds on the radio etc, mostly because the people in the adds sound to me like some of the most scared and helpless and annoying people out…

You’re ill-informed.

Nowhere is Subaru’s might stronger than here in New England. Having the most AWD vehicles in the lineup helps, I’m sure. All I know is that Subarus are the dominant force in my office parking lot, well ahead of Toyotas, Fords, even Volkswagens (another regional thing I’ve noticed. People love their VWs up here).

Subaru isn’t just putting on a good face, it seems. Customer service is fantastic. I’m able to go into the parts department and get into a small conversation with the people who work there. They don’t act like they’re too busy to help you. It seems like they actually do care. Happy employees make a good company.

Yes, but a lot of people had been saying things like “He was only 2 seconds behind Secretariat, because they don’t seem to realize in horse racing, 2 seconds is a huge distance

Watching Sham, a tremendous horse who would have been a triple crown contender any other year, in the Belmont is amazing. He ran with Secretariat for half the race, and got beat by 50 lengths. That is what happens to a normal horse when it tries to run at that pace for a mile and a half.

I have tried quite a few including some pricy stuff like Jack Blacks natural deodorant ( which I DO NOT recommend. made my armpits itchy and metamorphisized into a cat pee smell after a few hours. not cool). I have recently picked up some Dove Mens Deodorant which smells lovely , does not irritate and the smell holds…

In the bell curve of overlanding there are 2 ends;

The Focus RS looks like a really pissed off catfish. And if you have ever gone fishing for big catfish you know they put up one helluva fight.

Tonight on Top Gear.

Right. Which is great if you’re an automotive enthusiast, like you or me... (so your point is valid in that situation)...
...but for the other 98.7% of the human population, who rely on dealerships and local repair shops, the running costs of the Audi simply aren’t worth it. I’d know: My dad owned two A6 Audis... and…

But that’s the point, the Outback is what you want to buy if you want something that is kinda boring but is quiet about it. Like a middle child in a religious family, it just wants to do what it has to and not get too much attention.

Its a car that rewards you for being prudent. My sister has one and while she is single it has done everything from long distance 4 person road trips, to light softroading in the wet, and finally making it through DC’s snowpacalypse in great shape.

How about the metric of “routine maintenance and repair costs?”
Whoops. You lose.

Better washed, and probably with more belly rubs.

Indeed it t’was. My parents once owning a vw dealership, we drove many a Roc. My sister and I both owned the same mk1, silver, and it was fantastic. I also drove many mk1 II’s, and learned to shift in a Wolfburg one (close ratio gearbox, not recommended for 15 yr olds!). Only problem with those was the single wiper…
