Choo Choo motherfucker, indeed.

Taking a bike out for a morning ride is nothing like giving a free concert at 7AM. Do you get mad when it’s garbage day?

Seems you’ve never been to the country or a farm. Take a drive one day to the sticks and you’ll see lots of forlorn hardware of many types returning to their base elements.

If you think that’s the problem compared to the rape and burn technique of most large companies you’re delusional. Look up superfund sites. While…

That means there is room for Goes Like Hellphant S’more.

I couldn’t agree more. 

This is easily the best article I’ve read on jalop in quite a while. It’s a great mix of humor and knowledge. As I was going through the article I had thought it was penned by a typical car geek that reads a lot but as I got deeper I started picking up that you were also a racer.

If you’re ever running a NASA-NE event…

Oh, it’s not just spec E30, EVERY spec race has those that will protest ANYTHING. I’m glad NASA has a rule about engine teardowns so that if the engine is in spec, the protester gets to foot the bill. 

First, very good choice of seating at Watkins in the lead picture. Turn one is always interesting. I have the advantage that when I’m there, I get to sit in the tower. If it’s accessible, The top of the tower has a wonderful view. Make sure to try and make it to Seneca Lodge for at least a beverage or a decent dinner.

Here in NNJ I see far more assholes people driving with their high beams on constantly than just running with their DRLs. The auto high beams in my crosstrek work pretty well but it’s not perfect.

What we really need are headlights that automatically turn on with the wipers. There are far too many drivers out there,…

I’m going to be right pissed if subaru shoves that engine in the next crosstrek refresh. 

I live in the mountains, well as least as much as NJ has them and I have 0 issues with the CVT in my slow ass crosstrek. I live at the top of a 20% grade and it has no issues hustling up it.

I service a BRZ with a CVT and a supercharger. It’s disturbing how slow and unresponsive it is. 

As a owner of a 2019 crosstrek limited, I agree. Yes they had some growing pains in the beginning but I and many of the subarus I service have had no issues with the newer ones. 

The numbers will look great with a strip of duct tape as a 1 leading or following because their number was already taken at the one track event they take it to.

This will be after a 20 minute discussion on how they can’t use that number because someone is already using it and they can’t wrap their heads around that…

Most of the 1948 will sit in a climate controlled garage gathering dust and value and not driven in anger, ever. It’s a sad tribute to something that was once bought for a racing purpose.

Our driver backed it into the armco after the bus stop at Watkins at 80 and he walked away. Don’t skimp of safety gear boys and girls, it does save your life.

I second the NASA recommendation (NE here). Great bunch of people. 

Because those are the units that pay the bills. Be happy they bring any of the STI hottness over to the US.

They did make it, it was called the SS and nobody bought it.

The SS is a really nice place to be though. Even though one tried to kill me. 

I’ve helped bring 30-100 people to SoA directly on a yearly basis for the past 10 years. It’s a group of enthusiasts (google 48hrs of tristate) that raise money and most say “bring XXXX here and I’ll buy it”. Subaru doesn’t have to, they make bank selling what they already do.

He speaks the truth and subaru knows this.
