Her friend FREAKED out, “Never downshift while moving!”

This is also why people double-shift on non-synchronized cars. Shifting into neutral, reengaging the clutch to the engine, matching revs to wheel speed, then disengaging the clutch and shifting into the desired gear is basically just using the engine as the synchronizer.

what does “Smogged” mean?

Who the hell was this car to tell me—Jason Fucking Torchinsky—when I can or can’t drive with the top down?

Did the NB have a temp warning in the handbook? I know my NA did - I think the temp limit was something like 40°F - if it got much colder the plastic window would break

A cow is a female of said species which has had at least one calf, which the gargantuan specimen above is not per the linked WaPo article.

I know everyone hates the NC, but I don’t give a shit. I love this car.

This is truly the dumbest thing a dealership can do. Period.

It does piss me off when going somewhere that has winter and the rental cars have all season tires in winter.

“They have product that is in demand.”

3. Why did “Japanese delivery” never become a thing like the “European delivery” packages most Euro manufacturers offer?

And neither set of wheels needs to “break loose”, you just need one end of the vehicle or the other to not behave as expected.

But lets say you have a Subaru Crosstrek on summer tires in this light snow. Would you still be ok?

I could “get by” with all-seasons in the snow, I don’t want to “get by”.

All seasons have longer treadlife than winters or summers. You’re still buying tiresore often with seasonal.

How does flow velocity come into play? Does it create some sort of vacuum effect, to help pull exhaust gasses out of the cylinder instead of letting the piston do all the pushing?

In short, he shouldn’t have.

Why dont they just wrap entire cars in clear wrap over the paint and replace every couple of years? Cheaper/easier than waxing.

The only way the 3M thing works is if you pull it and replace every 5 years, but that would be a huge PIA.
