Just now noticed I got sniped by autocorrect. That's supposed to be excuse me, not exist me.

This could just be the Stockholm syndrome kicking in after roughly 3,000 road trip miles with her, but I can’t say enough positive things about Stef. She’s vibrant, dedicated, driven, and always that special very best kind of absurd. She can dive to the deepest depths of motorsports knowledge and storytelling one

My thought exactly. I love these Legacy GT wagons, and if it we’re just one of the mentioned problems I'd vote NP all day. But all three? Nah

My take isn’t that she CAN’T afford it in the literal sense so much as it's harder to justify spending $100 on something that lasts half a day than it is justifying spending 3-4 times that for something that can be used every single day.

No American ownership, but most of their cars are at least built in Indiana. And Ford sold off pretty much all of their Mazda ownership a few years ago

I’m impressed it smells new, I had a case of the farts in that car

The two bikes should weigh about the same. According to Smithsonian Evel’s bike was about 300 pounds, and Flat Track Racing rules, which the FTR750 was built for, require the bikes to weigh a minimum of 300 pounds.

Wow, I definitely didn’t expect this comment to end up so prominent...

Is the ST Line missing all the ST’s performance bits or just the power-based ones? Does the Line get any stuff like the ST’s suspension setup, the ST’s differential, or is it just the bodywork?

As memory serves it was a standard GT

I hate to say it, but in today’s world the only thing mandating homologation specials would be good for is getting manufacturers to leave the series. Now something I don’t hate saying:

I was restricting myself to full on caged stage rally cars since the article mentioned roll cages, but you're absolutely right, rallycrossers definitely rally all the things. Short of maybe a few supercars and hypercars, and some older models (pre 90s) I doubt there's a model in existence that hasn't been sent by
