“What the blurglopf is a ‘Viking funeral’?

Sick burn bro

You ARE choosing a specific torque split. Like you said, 100% lock is 50/50,and it goes all the way to 35/65 at the other extreme. Those are specific torque splits. 

I see that the end of the article includes that bit now. Thanks!

Well, that's like saying it's "way more unique". It's an either or thing. But the front LSD answered my question. 

It's adjustable front to back. 

Does 4WD lock left wheel and right wheel? My manual Forester xt, for example, I believe has open diff in front, and lsd in rear. This is considered full-time AWD. The STI is the same, no? So can it really be considered 4WD if you might be spinning one tire? 

Imo any mechanic driving a car into a manor, house, cottage or domicile is negligent

How are you this unaware? The rest of the English-speaking world says it “zed”. “Zee” is an American English pronunciation.

I have a rational and irrational love for Forester XTs, but the older wagony ones. The gas mileage is terrible, though. It maybe beats certain Mustangs and Camaros, but even the modern V6s will smoke an XT. I didn’t buy it to street race people, though.

That wasn’t the discussion, but I imagine it has to do with CAFE, and whether or not people are actually demanding it. Take rate on the Forester XT was so low that they got rid of it. 

What? Your argument proceeds from the fundamental misunderstanding that SUV means *sporty* utility vehicle. It doesn’t. And the fact that you’re driving faster than people who drive SUVs doesn’t mean anything. Anyway, back to the greys for you.

You think SUVs are supposed to be “sporty”? The “sport” isn’t motorsport

Oh, honey. 

Subaru has grown to what it has because it does one thing well: longitudinal engine, symmetrical AWD. Why wouldn’t they continue? It’s not like an I4 would give them meaningful advantages without compromising on everything else they do well

Jalopdom is intellectually dishonest. Change my view

The part I left off was, if you own 20 dildos, some get lost. 

If you own one dildo, you always know where it is. 

There’s revelling in car enthusiasm, and then there’s... This guy.

Gabe, this idea of momentum is all over your posts today. It's not "a very real thing". http://freakonomics.com/2011/11/20/football-freakonomics-is-momentum-a-myth-2/
