But will it drift? The answer is clear.

Bravo huffalump, you’re doing God’s work for the rest of us poors that can’t make it.

By the way, I find it mildly amusing that Subaru of all people were the ones to invite you. Did they make you promise to review the Crosstrek in return?

Thanks Good Guy Romeo, but I’ve already seen those clips...that’s why I was hoping there would be some real world footage at the Speed festival :)

Well? Can you spare some footage for us plebes?

Kristen,

Kristen,

Kristen, did you or any of your comrades get any looks at the Beast of Turin? I heard it was in attendance and planned to make a run. I would give a kidney to see that in person.

I rented a Grand Caravan GT recently to haul a bunch of crap, and I was rather amazed. Utility? For sure. Comfort? Supremely. Fast? Nope. I think the “GT” package consisted solely of special wheels and contrasting seat piping. But as Tom said, the Caravan is the slowest of the bunch.

I’ve had the best luck with either coasting in gear or idling in neutral down a modest grade at speed, or keeping it around 35 mph in top gear on the flats, that way I get a nice combo of forced air convection and moderate rpm’s for pump circulation. Mechanical fan of course.

We invite you to try

Relatively relevant

Also, 99% of you twats on both ends of the manual vs paddle debate will never be involved with any sort of competitive environment that would render a .56 second upshift advantage meaningful in any way whatsoever.

Pedantic twat-isms amuse me to no end

ZING! Bravo sir...I actually chortled. Must have read that four times before hitting the publish button, and nothing odd jumped out at me. It’s so painfully obvious now.

Same reasons I can’t stand getting in to drive my Mom/Sister/Girlfriend’s car...they all constantly squawk and bleep like the Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator’s control panel.

Drifting is lyfe...everything else is just waiting

I’ve routinely gotten 30-40 miles past the “0 miles to empty” warning on newer digital readout cars, from Jeeps to VW’s. That’s definitely a couple gallons. It’s a safety net built in at the factory.

Don’t all fuel tanks have a baffle bowl like this (My Volvo 240) that would prevent air being sucked through the pump when fuel gets low? I did some inspecting when I dropped and replaced my old tank to discover the bottom of the baffle bowl has a small inverted channel that allows the fuel in the tank to seep under…

I like how they’ve just drawn photos of things, and left it up to the driver to figure out how to operate it...
