I have smaller wheels specifically for autocross, but I LOVED how these 18s looked, and couldn’t say no to them as the summer setup :P

Huh. That’s like the complete opposite of my experience. Maybe I’ve just been crazy lucky over the past few years.

I know that you can’t always see every pothole, or avoid every pothole in every situation. Let me state that up front. I live in Chicago. Potholes are a way of life. I’ve driven my lowered BRZ into some invisible potholes at night that had the car basically fall onto its front bumper. I’ve also hit potholes violently…

Yeah, the first time I saw the curb weight for this thing in another article, I honestly thought it was a typo, given how heavy most vehicles are these days...

Subaru always made it look good.

There is a reason the original Subaru Outback was such a bit hit. It was the perfect “do everything” car. Unfortunately, the newest ones have grown too large, and are no longer proper “lifted wagons” IMHO.

This is the most annoying kind of take...

I change my HVAC controls so infrequently that I can’t reasonably consider this as a con. Modern HVAC systems are set-it-and-leave-it, more or less.

It's called "a dashcam that isn't a piece of shit Walmart special." ;)

The only thing more infuriating than a left lane hog... is a left lane hog that brake checks you, or slows way down, after you have sat behind them for a full minute at a courteous distance, and finally gave them a brief flash of the headlights to notify them that you’d like to pass. Those people deserve to die slow,…

My dashcam has a front and rear camera.

Articles on LifeHacker: “NEVER recline your seat on an airplane! That’s only something ASSHOLES do!!!”

Also LifeHacker: “Recline your seat as far back as possible. It’s more comfy.”

Ohhhhh, lol. I use these because they have a good, solid, hefty feel to them when you flip them.

A few seconds worth of honking. The good thing is that the pump is pretty powerful, so it only takes a minute or so to charge back up after a few seconds of honking, or a few separate honks. In my old Outback, I had a 5 gallon tank, which provided a much longer honk time, but I wanted more free space this time.

I have an entirely separate writeup on that process :)

I didn’t think the setup was THAT complicated...? Lol.

I needed a silly, fun, hands-on project to keep me busy over the winter, and I didn’t want it to be something productive like fixing our leaking faucet, or helping out at a homeless shelter.

This is my setup. It's loud. It works.

Nothing can help their team at this point, lol. What a cluster...
