You neglected to mention the bleeding nipples.

When I was in elementary school, we'd all get these little cardboard boxes from Unicef to use for collecting money for them on Halloween. Most of the houses would have a bowl of change handy for them. Most of the kids would empty out the boxes when they got home, walk to the store, and buy a Snickers or two.

I'm with you there. But to be fair, peanut butter cups are also #2.

Certainly not what I would have done with an old Datsun convertible and a Jeep. But now that it's done, I'd say it's worth $4200 to get the versatility of the Jeep with the curves of an old roadster, while simultaneously trolling everyone at the local off-roading venue.

Many of the people on the Subaru forum that I frequent have window stickers reminding tow truck drivers that they'll need a flatbed.

By the old rules, you had to have the phones and such off under 10,000 feet. By the new rules, you can take them out as soon as you're off the runway and the landing gear is tucked up. That's my interpretation, at least.

Dear Mr. Sinister,

I've seen Asians driving Subarus too. And my Puerto Rican girlfriend drives my Subaru occasionally...

I don't care for CVT's, but my understanding is that the ones Subaru uses have been holding up pretty well and most customers have no complaints.

What are VW's goals? Toyota makes money by the boatload, because they make boring cars that work well for people who don't care much about cars. If VW could increase market share by doing something similar, why wouldn't they?

Wouldn't the towing company be responsible for that damage?

I'd be cautious about buying a car if someone told me they'd driven it at an average of 100mph for nearly 30 hours straight.

I've got a '12 Impreza manual wagon as well. Found it at a dealership around 40 miles from where I live. There were quite a few manuals around when I was buying, but very few of them were the base model that I was after.

I obviously don't know what connection, if any, Ed had to the company. It does seem unlikely to me that this guy would spend tens of thousands of dollars to fake breaking a record that not many people care much about.

Article says that the data was confirmed by the company that did the tracking.

Eh, it seems doable to me. About $30k for the car (based on some cursory googling), 10k for modifications/support (wild-ass guess), and a few days off work with some friends who are good sports. I'm not surprised to see a 27 year old with $40k in the bank. Bear in mind, he can probably pull most of the…

Adam's fanboat Jeep looks decent in that clip. Looks like Tanner's car works as well, but just barely. I'll be watching online tomorrow after work.

Re. 9/11 and 7-11: Porsche's signature car is called the 911. It's been called that for decades. They stuck with that name, because heritage and whatnot. As far as I'm aware, the 9/11 terrorist attacks haven't hurt peoples' perception of the car, even here in the USA.

Looks like a pretty cool car, and I'm sure it's fun to drive. That said, I have no interest in buying a car that I have any doubt about being able to register/pass state inspection/find spare parts for. And, as someone else said, you could get a WRX that would be faster and easier to keep on the road.
