The Jalopnik review said the CVT was pretty decent on the 2014 FXT. Since you know somebody's going to try... does anyone have an idea about the max torque/hp one can put through Subaru's CVT before things go pear-shaped? As ancient as the 4EAT was, it did handle power.

Good point there! I hadn't considered fleet buying.

Of course customers aren't going to come in looking for a decades-old truck. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Don't advertise or update = plummeting sales. Plummeting sales = no update or termination.

I'd hate to be sitting in a CF seat for the 14+ hours it would take to get to Japan. Especially one custom molded to fit someone else's ass >_<

Could you put in the sunken island of Saab-lantis, just off the coast of GM?

It probably should be the "Toyobaru Joint Occupation Zone" or something like that. Of course, I am also one who thinks Subaru-land should be closer to Toyota.

WTF is with signage in America? Most place just randomly tack signs to random poles, with one thing blocking the other, and no method to the madness.

Perhaps ADDvanced would like to drive in, park the car, then either walk or use public transit for the day until it is time to leave. Not every city has reasonable transit into the city center.

I'll add my +1 here. The stories about crossing the Congo make it the beast. You take one of the top 10 expedition vehicles and the Congo still makes the Land Cruiser cry.

I've backed my car up the handicapped ramp at work to deliver a load of stuff to my restaurant. And then I parked appropriately when I was done :P

Reverse: Robert Moses was an ass. His ideas about road building spread, carving up poor neighborhoods and limiting access to waterfronts. NYC does need a few more highways though, like a tunnel to bypass Manhattan. I hear those TBMs do good work.

The magic of movies!

Perhaps until the foam completely cures, it is pliable and able to absorb the collision shock. That's why there was a bit more internal space when Sylvester Stallone punched his way out, rather than being locked in like an avalanche victim with snow packed tightly around the limbs.

I think the parachute is way too inaccurate for vital burrito drops. A reverse skyhook system would help deliver those belly bombers to hungry targets.

What is done with many imaging sensors is to take consecutive photos with filters that only let specific colors of light in, send it to Earth, then we combine each image to make a pretty color picture. This allows imaging engineers to construct a kick ass sensor, and not worry about having to make different colored…

I have a Timex Ironman w/ HRM, and it hasn't given me correct readings over an entire run for a while. I am not pulling 100 bpm going up a hill. This looks nice, but the battery life and on-watch feature set is really lacking. I don't care very much about data collection.

Absolutely not. Skaycog would never allow another GT to fall into a potentially damaging situation!

Sagan probably saw the storyboards and conceptual art, at least.

I guess I mean the Flowerfield/Gyrodyne gate, not the one by the station. They've got cyclone fencing and a locked gate. There's a narrow, tick-infested passage you can push your bike through to get by, if your handlebars are narrow. Going that way cuts out the big hill and avoids traffic. There's one other way to…
