Damn motorcyclists, always starting forest fires...

Technicalities...

Nailed it!

They lifted the entire car from the current gen impreza, except for the scoop and the wheels. And presumably some mechanical differences.

If the Escalade is the last real Cadillac, then I strongly dislike real cadillacs.

That's what they were saying. Maybe they just stuck an Impreza body on it for testing purposes?

Looks almost identical to the current generation Impreza sedan, aside from the scoop and wheels.

Autobahn? You think you'll be able to cruise at 200 kph all the time. Turns out that it's only on certain sections, and you get stuck behind someone plodding along at 130kph.

Neutral: As others are saying, I'd be uncomfortable buying a car without driving it/seeing it in person first. Would you buy a house sight unseen? Would you attend a college that you've never visited? It happens, but it's unusual.

The transmission is indeed made to withstand hundreds of thousands of miles of propelling a car. One mile won't cause it much wear, but cumulatively, after hundreds of thousands of miles, something is likely to break. Any stress on the system, no matter how slight, will add up over time to become significant. If a…

I am not saying that. I am saying that relying on the transmission to hold the car means that you're stressing the transmission even when the car's parked, rather than just when it's moving. It's not much stress, but it adds up over time.

I'm from PA, never heard of that one. Does that mean I can legally set off fireworks in the street at random intervals when I'm driving around at night?

Jersey too.

In New Jersey, you're required to honk when passing, unless you're in a business or residential area.

Because parking brakes are super-effective at preventing cars from sliding on icy surfaces?

My understanding is that using the transmission as a parking brake (whether you're in first, reverse, or park on an automatic) isn't the best for the longevity of the transmission.

Well, my car would roll away without the parking brake.

Just in time for Christmas!

Screw you, mouse belts are the best.
