If the radiator fan is reversible, that may be the only Bug extant that actually has heat!

Hill-holder is "off" by default on new Subies. You have to turn it on if you want it. I hate the electric parking brake on the new OBs, BTW. I'd much rather have a handbrake. Because handbrake turns!

Neutral: What Subaru is doing right now seems to be working. According to my friend who is the GM of a local Subaru store, the cars are just flying off the shelves.

I bought a '13 OB last year and my only big complaint is they don't do the technology integration very well. I rent a lot of cars and I find even the…

You know, I used to respect all police officers as a matter of course. Nowadays, when I meet cops I'm withholding judgement until the prove to me they are worthy of respect. The profession seems to attract assholes, and it's getting worse with the ever-increasing militarization of the police force. We need less…

But we all know because drifting looks cool it is also fast!

(Gawd, drifting sucks.)

If you accept Jeff Foxworthy's definition of 'redneck' as "a glorious absence of sophistication", which I do, then not all of these are all that redneck. There's quite a bit of technical sophistication in tractor pulls and swamp buggies for instance.

Yeah, that seems weird. If it's the Kennesaw store I would not be surprised, though. Are you sure these same cars are sitting on the lot for six months? Every time I go a dealer they don't seem to have any WRX's at all. Looking at local inventory, there appears to be only one car that's actually on the lot right now.…

Neutral: America loved our SUVs in the 90's and early 00's. The love of big, practical cars has not diminished, but we don't want to pay to operate big, heavy Explorers and Tahoes any more. When Subaru took the Outback up a size class from a small wagon to a larger crossover starting with the 2010 model year, they hit…

Since production is something like 90% FRS and 10% BRZ, there is a shortage of the Subie versions. And no they won't deal on them either. Everyone that comes in to my Subaru dealer is sold before it arrives. Can you blame them for charging what the market will bear? You can of course be-bop on down to the Toyota store…

...and TRD and Nismo decals on the windows.

While it may be true this is the worst BMW custom of all time, the worst custom car of all time is still the Gremalibur. At least in this case, they started with a decent automobile. It takes a lot to make a Gremlin worse, but as you see below a lot was done...

My 16 year old daughter thinks eyelashes are cute and said she'd like them on her car. I just bought a a 12 year old Toyota Avalon for her to drive. I somehow don't think they are going to be all that cute on what is the 'Granny Panties' of automobiles. :D

I just thought of a couple of more:

Wash and wax, vacuum out the interior, and clean all the glass inside and out. A couple of hours in the driveway getting the car clean and shiny is time well spent and not at all expensive. When your are done, get in the car and go for a drive. Everything about it will just feel better! It will run better, handle…

As a Georgian, I'm tired of the "Peach State" moniker. Just this week we learned we produce many more tons of blueberries than peaches. We do lead the nation in peanut production, so "The Peanut State" might be more apropos. We could probably be in the running for "The Foreclosure State" or the "Mortgage Fraud State",…

They'll look cool until the catering truck knocks them off.

This may too far back in the late 80's to find a good photo, but for while hot pink double bladed wipers were all the rage. The best ones even had 3-5 little fins sticking up on them to give more downforce when your 80 HP '82 Corolla was breakin' the law exceeding the 55 mph national speed limit by 5 mph. Awesome.

I wish more auto reviewers would just come out and say what they really think about a car. The problem is there is a weird codependence that goes on between the journos and the industry. The journos are afraid if they really trash a car, they won't get invited to drive the next one on some fancy junket. The industry…

Since they finally retired the big Iowa-class battleships, you are probably talking about the fleet of B-52's. But lest we forget, the USS Constitution, launched in 1787 remains the oldest commissioned US Navy warship.

They already have battery swap stations in Israel. The pro is that many companies subsidize their employees to buy these cars. The con is you have to buy an ugly Renault with the trunk space filled up with a big-ass battery.
