I assume that some of the 1064 hp powers a built-in lift to help the old guys to get out of the damn thing.

I thought it was neat. This is an automotive website, and that was an automotive thing. 

FTFY

You have to be drifty-er... or something. 

Maul Approved.

One of the great movie lines of all time. 

That’s a driver issue. It merges just fine without stressing itself out. 

I regularly do 125 km/h (79 mph) all day long in the Crosstrek. I drove it over three mountain passes, twice in the last two weeks. No issues doing 110 km/h uphill, with a full load and a Thule box. Passes in the fast lane at 140 km/h with no issues. Is it quick off the line? Not particularly (0-100 km/h in 7.5…

I have to think that eventually muscle memory would just take over. There are a million little things in life that we just “do”, without thinking about it.

He’s not touching the sterile end of the swab, not touching the containment vessel interior, not touching the agar on the plate, and not touching the water. No need for gloves.

We bought ours partially on the recommendations from three friends with 8 to 10-year-old models. They’ve been really happy and they report very few issues. I have heard that the CVT can be shitty over time, but none of our friends have had issues.

Never swab a drinking fountain.

Yeah, it’s mind-boggling.

I know I go on about our ‘22 Crosstrek and that people are probably tired of me advocating for it, but... it really is that good. We’ve just hit 60,000km and the end of the factory warranty. We’ve had no warranty issues; no issues of any kind. Fit and finish is as good today as it was on delivery.

In the article you emphasised “should” cause less damage. What about “less”? They’ll cause “less damage”.

I grew up watching the Mars planes fly out of Sproat Lake and all over BC. They’re amazing to see in action, and they’re way bigger than you imagine them to be.

“I was talking to a car company executive. Big guy. Tough guy. And he came to me. Tears in his eyes. Crying like a baby. Sir, he said. Sir please take away the electric. We’re trying to do gas. We like the gas. Gas is good. So the battery. Wind! And the military. Oh. The planes are gas. No electric for the planes. Can…

So, North Carolina is the Charlie Brown of States?

Is it a municipal cost-savings thing? A liability thing? Seriously, outside of a condo board or a gated/planned community, these are extremely rare in Canada. Municipal by-laws keep things in order and property taxes keeps the roads/sidewalks repaired and the water flowing in/sewage flowing out. Disputes are handled…
