I was riding in my friend’s VW Bug down the mountain after a long day of skiing. There’s always a “rush hour” around this time since the resort was closing and people are heading back down to the city below. The snowpack was about 10' high directly up to the white lines. It was like driving in a slot, with no shoulder…

Yeah, the confrontation just isn’t worth it. It’s not up to you to enforce traffic laws. If someone is angrily tailgating me, I do my best get out of their way and let them by. If they are in some mortal danger, then I haven’t impeded them, and if they’re just being a jerk, they’ll get their due in time, but I’ll have…

Subaru is a notable exception to the “Japanese car gas caps on the left”. All Subarus have the gas filler on the right side, for whatever reason.

Indeed. Played the hell out of this on Dreamcast and on the arcade console when I could find one. I also had it for my Gameboy or DS, can’t remember which.

What an embarrassment for Jalopnik...

Show me a car that can drive through three western states without stopping for gas (and going in a circle around Four Corners doesn’t count).

...one of the internet’s most loved—some would say overhyped—used cars, the E30 BMW 3 Series from the 1980s and early ‘90s.

You’ve clearly never been to Japan. They have far more regular earthquakes than California, and have spectacular tunnel systems all over the country.

The most common subaru, the ones with the automatic are primarily FWD. They use an electric clutch to send power to the back as needed. When you’re driving down the highway, all the power is going to the front wheels.

...with electric hubs at all four wheels...

My DRL lights ARE the turn signals, so I installed switchback bulbs that illuminate white as DRL, and switch to flashing amber when I turn the signals on.

Subaru Outback H6. Excellent full time AWD, a very reliable and reasonably powerful flat six engine, and not much else. Yes, it does have leather seats, but no fancy infotainment, just a huge moonroof and excellent visibility out every window. Plenty of room for 4 adults and a dog in the back.

I think it’s fake only because no mom actually worried about their kid’s driving would be holding a camera so still.

I don’t think that standard human blood pressure is actually the limit of what the heart can output, but more the limit of what the very small capillaries our extremities can handle without bursting.

Subaru would make a four chamber heart that worked especially well for trail runners, but had a weird heartbeat like nobody else’s.

Indeed. I actually came here to say that PDX is a shining example that international airports don’t have to suck at all, but I’d prefer we Oregonians kept that secret to ourselves. We don’t need any more Californians moving up here... :)

I’m in the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ camp on this. While I understand the neighbor’s point that you can’t do a whole lot with a plane in your driveway, as long as there aren’t any HOA rules about keeping stuff in your driveway, then STFU. On the flipside, the crossbow threat isn’t helping smooth over community relations.

Sure, but people not finding jobs is not vehicle autonomy’s fault...
