The clutch in my 200,000 mile 2006 3 Series is the original as well. The only thing I actively did to extend its service life was to remove a valve BMW installed to impart artificial slip. I’ve done burnouts, I’ve routinely downshifted to avoid using the brakes, I’ve pretty much done all the things people say are at…

There’s a lot of void space in washers and dryers; with enough pressure in the right spots you could fit more than one set in the proposed Maverick bed.

This of it like this (and he even said something this effect in the article): This part in order to fail due to damage would absolutely need other parts of the vehicle to be damaged as well due to it’s location and the need to over-build it because of the stresses it endures. Cars routinely go 20+ years and hundreds…

I had a coworker, a full blown adult, do the exact same thing to his 2015 Hyundai Sonata turbo. He was pissed because someone had told him with Mobil 1 synthetic oil you could go ‘an extremely long time between changes’, which he took to mean once he put Mobile 1 in at the first oil change he never had to change the oi…

You’re right, everyone else should have packed it up once Ford released the Model T. The Truck game was officially over at that point.

Because once you used it the first time it would, almost invariably, leak forever after. 

The problem with that is that it’s a bald faced lie (by Subaru, not you). The Crosstrek cannot offroad, and no one buying one expects it to. They’re only buying a look, not capability, so they don’t need* to add on the extra weight and drag since they buy that car knowing it’ll never see anything more rugged than a…

Because it wasn’t always their shtick and it’s a proven waste of weight and drag in cars with such pathetic horse power like the Crosstrek. I didn’t say stop offering it to stupid people ready to part ways with their money for a drawback, I only said they should offer the smart among us the option of not wasting our…

Then I debunked your flurry. And I even gave you a chance to get over your desire to be racist and start accepting the reality of the facts. You didn’t. You’re still hiding behind the systemic racism set up by racist white people to make non-racists more comfortable being racist. Once you have the Comfortable Lie…

So you’re still telling me that a professional race car driver is the average driver of the Crosstrek? Got it.

Come on David, it’d take only the barest modicum of effort to clean out the footwells of that J10. There’s no excuse for letting trash build up in your ‘favorite’ vehicle, every time you stop for gas (which I assume in that thing is often) there’s a trashcan right there.

These aren’t “white-person-contrived”.

Soooo you’re comparing the average Crosstrek driver to an F1 driver now to make points? Do you realize the ridiculousness of that? I specifically stated in multiple comments that AWD can help cornering if you have the power and knowhow to use it for that. The Crosstrek doesn’t have the power, nor does the average, or…

There are very obvious, white-person-contrived reasons why black people are disproportionately more likely to come from poverty. There are also very obvious, white-person-contrived reasons why impoverished black neighborhoods are more likely to have worse schools and heavier-handed policing. There’s also very obvious,…

I would argue that most people would want the AWD option

I understand that and that is why I say let the stupid option it. Smart people avoid cars with options that are detrimental to the overall performance and efficiency of their vehicle.

2 things that hurt Subarus in my eyes, and yes I understand the average car buyer doesn’t realize these things are drawbacks, but seriously they’d have better sales if they offered their less powerful cars without AWD and if they would just fucking ditch those stupid fucking CVTS already!

And extremists views that no one agrees with like defund the police is counterproductive to the discussion as well.

I’d legitimately rather DD a 1979 Pinto than a brand new Dodge Journey.
