I’m smack-dab in the middle, and yes, I learned “ajar” from “Gleaming the Cube.” Those of you who know, know.

Great story. Best article I’ve read on Jalopnik in a loooong time. Thanks for sharing.

Had a Crosstrek for a year. Good car but it was too slow. Excruciatingly slow. I made the sign of the cross every time I had to merge on a short on-ramp. Thankfully it held it’s value pretty strongly and I didn’t take any kind of financial hit when I traded it a year later.

That’s one of reasons I love the car - it’s free of distractions, everything works, and I don’t need to think about or look at the secondary…

Oh well, no great loss to society. At least the tax payers’ dollars won’t be spent keeping him alive.
