From a technical standpoint, she’s got a lot to work on. Too many steps, learn how to do it while kicking over the lineman, speed... but without much training (outside of a few minutes w/ pro kickers) she showed it’s possible she could do it. 

I get told this every couple weeks

Only the SUV’s and Crossovers have 8.7" of ground clearance, that negatively impacts the COG; by having a H engine, that lowers the COG to make it similar driving feel as a car with much lower ground clearance. Additionally, it means the hood doesn’t need to be nearly as tall. This helps driving visibility and…

weird, a convertible is loud to be in while driving...

Pretty sure “where you vehicle takes you” is more of a pro for SUV’s and Trucks. The crossover pro is that you can handle on-road hazards, while still maintaining car-like driver comforts.

Its actually a particularly reliable engine. In the early 2000's Subarus were know to have a head-gasket issue that required replacing every 100k, but that issue has been long since fixed.

That’s why they made the Forester in an XT trim. 260-ish HP is PLENTY fast

Don’t know how big your gen1 is, but this drives like a smaller vehicle, but when equipped like this; there’s plenty of storage for long trips. It’s footprint is actually quite small

She hated the HR-V because it was uncomfortable and TOO SLOW...

Crosstrek is a good crossover for a lot of people, but it’s missing the fun part they asked for. FXT would be perfect tho. 

The RS model does have a good amount of power but new it’s 60% over budget. Also this is a large vehicle which they SPECIFICALLY said they didn’t want.

Small SUV that’s fun to drive?

See, by doing this; it turns the problem from a today-problem into a (bigger) tomorrow-problem. If you won’t be around tomorrow (get re-elected) then its of less concern then fixing a (smaller) today-problem... as long as you can trick the dumb people into only thinking about if there is a today-problem.

My team abides by the “don’t line it right back at the pitcher” rule; unless its playoffs and the game is close (which is only a few games)

Old guys that can pitch strikes, and slap singles always have a spot on the team. Especially when they can get a pinch-runner after they get on 1st base.

I don’t own a “trailer”, but the Forester XT w/ a Thule ontop and a Hitch-basket in back help provide a pretty descent amount of total storage space for long trips/vacations. Then when I take them off I still having a small-ish vehicle that’s fun to drive, easy to park/maneuver, 30+ mpg’s, and kicks ass in the snow.

*coulda been done off of the Forester XT

I enjoyed this

Per Eagles/Jags play: Jags CB clearly 100% was holding Eagles WR. Thats the easy part. The Eagles WR I “think” was just using his arm position to box out the CB, instead of pushing off; he doesn’t fully extend his arm to push off. But I do agree its not clear-cut.
