My mom had the '96 Ford version of that car. I didn't care for it.

No sound at work, so I can't offer my thoughts on this particular video. That said, this recent trend of luxurious, high-tech pickup trucks drives me nuts.

I've always wanted someone to make a manual CVT, with a knob that you turn to adjust engine RPM. As in, I select an RPM, transmission adjusts itself to maintain that RPM. Leisurely cruise on the highway? Turn it down to 1500 RPM, and the engine will stay there whether you're going 45 or 85 mph. Want to get the…

I think the best thing to do would have been to check up on the cop who had been shot. Not sure what I would've done in the situation, though.

I know the guy meant well, but the police probably didn't need help tracking down their stolen car. And having more people driving 100mph on city streets is never a good thing.

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.
