You seem to understand the subaru feeling. Yes, on paper there are seemingly better options. There are “better” options for the price. They lag behind with interiors. The paint quality can be shit. Some have ringland issues. Their headgaskets “suck” because they didn’t use the proper HG material for a bit. Their…

I live in the woods and still know most chains are utter crap, what’s your point?

Well, he does have a bit of a point.

Found the Honda owner.

Why does everything now have to serve more than one purpose? It’s a holiday decoration, it doesn’t need to be anything else. Some people are really into Halloween and yes, it’s gory holiday.

I certainly wouldn’t call someone with differing tastes in holiday decorations an asshole. My friend has a Christmas tree and a menorah in his house.

Agreed and I will add no lights on in the rain. It’s not so that you can see, asshole. It’s so others can see your fog colored car in low visibility.

So much this. Most of my commute is on 2 lane twisty mountain highways. Two forward lanes with 2 jackasses pacing each other for miles. Overtake and get over. Overtake and don’t get over, just don’t be pissed when I go by on the right.

The part about the locals is true but there are some locals that are worse than the transients.

I honestly find that to be perfectly believable.

Not sure if I even have the dyno sheet anymore but I didn’t find it horrible to drive. Neither did my famously cranky driver. It was blast to drive, that’s for sure.

You don’t need Prius parts to have AWD.

Doesn’t sound amazing modified but I’ve heard worse.

Hustling a subaru, any subaru through a corner is more fun than most other cars. Subarus won’t win any drag races since that’s not what that are built for.

I’m not sure SEMA being a shell of what it one was is such a bad thing. I always preferred race over rice so PRI was more my speed.

I won’t argue with that. All the spec pinata guys we put in our BRZ said it was fun but it was lacking something. With only 178 on the dyno it’s far from a powerhouse and hard to sway the miata guys. With enough fiddling you can likely make it a good spec series but with the miata already being developed and having…

I’m not sure 16.5% is what I would call huge. They also recently kicked toyota out of SIA. They’re likely not touching the BRZ because of reliability issues over 200 hp.

I was confused with that as well but I’m sure they wouldn’t dump money into R&D on it if there wasn’t a reason.

And you’ll have many that will pay the price when you do providing the swap was well done. I still regret not buying the one I had a chance at.

They’re too busy selling every crostrek, outback and impreza they can make. No need to cater to a small but vocal market that has issue actually buying what they scream about.
