It’s not okay to speed in Virginia, UNLESS you’re driving south on I-95 and everyone has unanimously decided that today is “Drive 90 mph Day”.

This has been my experience as well. I visited LA for a week and drove all over the place. I spent many hours in the infamous traffic on the 405 etc. and not once was I upset when I am usually prone to yelling. It just felt like everyone instantly understood each other: “we all have to suffer through this together, so…

Which era of Genesis has the longest synth solos?

Got em

Nowadays a lot of our school buses are cabovers, and have been for a while.

I listen to Eurobeat on long drives.

Also on short drives.

Also at home.

I wouldn’t call 200 feet of track an insignificant amount to raise when you take all the ballast and such into account. A 1% grade (1 foot over 100 feet) is fine but for heavy freight trains no grade is always preferable. I don’t know what kind of consists the railroad runs there but if it’s an otherwise grade-less…

Reminds me of one of my favorite videos on YouTube.

They cover that on the website. The bridge won’t get raised because they’d have to raise the rail line which would be ludicrously expensive (you can’t just raise that and let the line slope up to it, so they’d have to raise a lot of track on either side) and the railroad would never agree to it anyway. And lowering…

I like the Juke too. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with how it looks.

What?

That was just one example, but I’ve taken Route 1 at all hours of the day with much better results than staying on 95. I’m not saying it’s always good (because it isn’t - I’ve been stuck in exactly what you describe), but in my experience 90% of the time it’s better than staying on the Interstate.

Route 1, man. I’ve driven back and forth from Richmond and DC on 95 plenty of times without issue (including times where everyone on the road decided to drive 90 - that was fun) but when there is an issue, Route 1 is the answer. I’ll never forget one time I was driving back to DC from Richmond very late at night (I…

In theory the concept is totally fine, but the crucial part of doing a good Jersey Glide is not looking at all before you do it. It’s like that Family Guy clip everybody knows where the female Asian driver goes “I go now, good luck everybody else!”

I know it as “Jersey Glide” and to see one perfectly executed is a thing of beauty. For the glide to be perfect, the driver most merge without warning across 3 or more lanes in busy traffic without ever looking. When it’s really good I’m not even mad.

It looks like a de-racing-ified Legends car. And that’s awesome.

Single person here - I need every square inch of my Forester to haul all my instruments around. I’d love to have a smaller, more fuel-efficient car to drive around town when I don’t need to carry all that though.

My ‘10 has a TCS off button, which I think is hilarious.

And? The fact that minivans have gotten quicker and family sedans routinely have 300 hp+ doesn’t somehow make 8.6 seconds last longer. So the Forester won’t win any drag races against new cars. Why exactly does that matter again? 8.6 seconds is fine. It is plenty of power for everyday driving, and that’s probably why…

I guess power is all about perspective, because my ‘10 Forester 2.5X isn’t slow at all. It feels like a race car compared to the Hyundai Veloster rental car I had in LA, which was horrifically awful in every way, but especially power. I have hooned it in the snow, something this article says is impossible.
