Oh god, PLEASE ungrey me for this.

So? Theaters have like a 1000% markup on concessions. They pull the same BS as concerts and amusement parks. You’re in here, now pay up if you’re hungry or thirsty.

Noooooooo. I loved the music.

Wut? Internal leaks were mostly sorted out by ‘00 but were far from fixed. The switch to SOHC just moved the leaks around. The problem actually being fixed didn’t really start until 2010. Then Subaru moved onto mass oil consumption with the FA series. All this is non-turbo related, btw. 

TBH I don’t have any hard evidence either, just the words from people that know far more about bikes than I do. If I had to guess, bikes with belts are likely experiencing the claimed extra loss due to how large the pulleys need to be in comparison to a sprocket setup. Additional rotating mass and all that.

The more Volvo gets back to what they’re know for, at least regarding looks, the better looking the cars get. The current V60 is good looking but this is a goddamn stunner. Same for the V90. They’ve found a way to add soft edges to rectangles instead of just making things soft.

You made the original claim. Where’s your data?

Motorcyclist Magazine and Revzilla have articles on their sites about it. I’m sure there are others. If belts were more efficient, top-tier race bikes (whether motor or pedal driven) would be using belts. When manufacturers are waging wars over who has 5 HP more, they aren’t going to use a system that robs another 5…

Are you saying belts are more efficient at transferring power than chains?

Yeah - replacement is part of maintenance.

Winning at everything except retaining power from the engine. ;)

The only advantage a belt provides is less maintenance.

I don’t have a problem with this car. It seems like a good and inexpensive mode of transportation.

How would that work? The 3D version of a movie is literally a different movie.

Mine go in my pocket. Maybe that’s gross but it’s a hell of a lot easier than carrying a plastic box or bag with me. My orthodontist also told me to never use any time of retainer/denture cleaner on the trays, just toothpaste.

You sure it was KPH?

Arkansas did it a LONG time ago. Texas and Utah are in the process of rolling back. I’m sure there are others.

Likely more but I didn’t want to speak for the newer ones that I’m not well-versed in. Our Impreza has electric steering. So goddamn vague.

It’s a Subaru tradition to let solvable problems linger for a decade or more.
