Level IV is not rated for .338 Lapua. It is rated for .30-cal AP M2. But if you can stop that, in most cases you’ll stop a .338 lead ball round.

San Antonio resident here. Not surprised at this. The road is too far out of the way from the major points of interest in both SA and Austin to make it worth it for a lot of people. I drive between the NW side of SA to downtown Austin pretty often. Even when I35 traffic is heavy - which is most of the time really - it…

David, it’s “free rein” NOT “free reign.”

You know what, you’re right. I always assumed it was fuel injected, because I never had any typical carb issues with it (it was a hand-me-down when I was 16 and didn’t know much about cars). Just looked it up - turns out somewhere around 81 or 82 they added a computer-controlled carb with a mixture control solenoid.…

I understand buying a non-pretentious car for commuting when you are well-off, but I cannot get on board with something like a Chevette. I never felt safe at all in mine. I’m pretty sure if I had hit someone on a bicycle I would’ve been the one that ended up in the hospital - the structure was that flimsy. Seriously,…

All of this is 100% true. Mine was a 1984 with fuel injection and the 3-speed auto. They had had 8 years at that point to fix some of these issues and they were still terrible. The only thing better about FI was that it would actually start sometimes when it was below freezing out. I had forgotten all about the gauge…

FYI - He took this thing up Pike’s Peak last year...

In 2001, I had a ‘92 Cavalier and was dating a girl with a ‘95 Neon. As bad as the Cavalier was, it was superior in every way to that Neon. For starters, despite being 3 model years and 1 generation older, the Chevy had managed to retain all of its paint. People were excited when they came out, because they were cheap…

Can confirm. Sorry about your Elantra and CX-9, Avis.

Yes. But this is coming from someone who had a bright yellow S10 as his DD for several years.

Omg the paint on that WRX

My co-worker DD’s his on drag radials. Just took this photo. SC300 with a big turbo, 5MT swap, and adjustable-height air shocks. If you’re ever back in San Antonio, give us a shout - I’m sure he’d let you take it for a spin.

Came here for rotary. Was not disappointed.

No surprises. I own two FB25 vehicles in the list. My 2014 Forester is burning about a qt per 5,000 miles. The 2013 Outback hasn't shown any signs of it yet.

I recently realized that my car will let me talk to Siri through Bluetooth, so I’ve been using my iPhone in a dash mount to bypass the awful Subaru built in system. Plus it adds the capability to read things like text messages, and sports scores to me. I also use it to tell me about traffic ahead and to play specific…

My Forester will either get the number right in the first try or just continuously screw it up usually by adding about 20 number you didn't say. Unfortunately it works often enough that I keep using it only to have it fail when I really need to make a call. I haven't had any complaints about the mic, though. The mic…

“Bed trunk” isn't working for me. Can we call it a “brunk” yet? I’m calling it a brunk.

Starred you because it made me lol. But I’m also looking out my office window at a Model S and a Leaf here in TX and passed an i3 on my commute this morning.

TIL: Things can be “well-bezeled”.
