Thanks for pointing that out! El Nino has certainly helped a lot with snowpack past year—although my understanding was that the region is still experiencing water deficit from years of diminished snowpack.

For what it’s worth, Colorado snowpack as of today is 175% of average. Most of the major reservoirs in western CO are approaching capacity which means more water downstream to Lake Powell and, eventually, Mead.

The private sector acts solely in its own interest, nothing more and nothing less. It’s not much of a surprise that Delta would want to get paying customers in more efficiently, just as it’s not much of a surprise that Walmart and Amazon treat their employees like cattle.

That’s a lot of investment for no benefits to Toyobaru. Unless they actually come out with an FI option from this.

It could just be done to get the engine more friendly for forced induction. Maybe.

STI PLEASE!

Maybe they’re hiding something.

It turns out the motor gets new valves, camshaft and cylinder heads, a new aluminum intake manifold, and a redesigned exhaust manifold.

It’s a Subaru, not a Honda.

selling my mustang GT now. no one can compete with a company that overnight increases its torque ratio by 50%. nobody.

I keep waiting for Toyobaru to do something with this car that will negatively impact the resale value of my low-miles ‘06 S2000.

The original +5hp!

All that for five whopping brake horsepower? What is that, like four more horsepower to the wheels? I’m positively astonished.

Try signing up for global entry. It's $15 more but you get all the precheck benefits plus faster border crossings.

And as I’ve said before, PreCheck is the entire reason this is happening? “Oh, you don’t like the long lines? Well, fuck you, give me money. Then you can skip to a sometimes not-so-long line.” Signing up for PreCheck is literally rewarding them for bad behavior.

Well they claimed that people weren’t signing up for PreCheck fast enough, but there hasn’t been an open appointment in the next 45 days at the Chicago centers for weeks now.
