Ya know that game we played as teenagers after getting the fortune cookie at the chinese takeout place? You follow up the fortune with “in bed”, because ha ha.

I want you to do the same with every youtube comment regarding engine reliability or potential power.

“There are many more than you can find that easily do 8's.…

and this is one of the reasons I think people need to stop nut swinging on this motor. Its absolutely terrible at both ends of the performance spectrum. Its super heavy for a 300hp street motor.

I’ve held a 2JZ-GTE crank in my hands. It weighs about 70 lbs.

I like that their diagnostic tool is called VAG-COM.

Subarists are doing it for fun

Yeah, fortunately both are exceptionally reliable so far and oil change interval are very long, so once a year.

If you come from cars, the seating position feels normal. If you come from trucks, the seating position is all kinds of crazy. I was in the latter.

What is, “Start with a large one?” I’ll take Dad jokes for $400, Alex...

but I imagine they would sell ok in the EU where some of the cities are starting to ban diesel.
