Once a decade, I need to buy a couple sheets of full size plywood, so clearly I need to buy the top of the line, extended cab, extended bed truck. And yes, I need the biggest engine. Plywood is heavy. I’ll need every last torque that engine can squeeze out.

I grew up in deep-ish south, where “pet” names like hun, babe, shug, sugar, darlin, etc was/is very common place. They were used by servers toward customers, customers toward servers, and strangers to other strangers. None of it was ever degrading or sexist. It was just a southern-place holder, almost like a personal…

While not equivalent to a luxury brand, Subaru has made improvements on their interiors with the models that have moved to the Global Platform (17+ impreza, 18+ crosstrek, 19+ forester, and ascent). The Outback and WRX are slated to move to the Global platform in 2020, so things should improve for those soon as well.

Sadly, paint issues is pretty common across brands today.

I have a 2018 Crosstrek, also manual, regular key, climate control, manual seats, and no driving assists, and I love it. I even turned off hill-start assist, because that shit was annoying. The only assists ABS and stability control, which you can’t easily turn off.

I don’t think Stone thought he’d get away with it.

The Edge ST is not a consolation prize. It’s a $50k kick to the sack.

In the 4 years I owned the car, the only issues I had was the stock battery died at 2.5 years, and the starter was replaced. Not because it needed to be replaced. It started the car fine every time, but because it’s cranking voltage was right on the marginal level measured in the recall check. That’s it. In the time…

Right, cars are getting so complex that many people are unable to repair the cars. And even if they can, the parts themselves are getting more expensive as well, which makes maintaining them more difficult, which means getting a new car, cpo, or used with a questionable extended warranty.

Haha, yeah. I was originally looking at the Supercharged Scion TC, then I saw the RX8 and drove it and bought it on the spot lol

I had an 04 RX8 as well. Loved that car. Still miss it.

All of the RX8 issues where with the 1st gen. The 2nd gen (2009-2012) had significant mechanical changes and addressed all of the issues the early models had. But, unfortunately, reputation damage was done. Combine that with the dip in the economy and increased emission rules, and the rx8 was done for.

Sometimes it comes down to stupidity, which rich people aren’t immune to.

Is this more like Crackdown 1 or Crackdown 2? Because 1 was great, and 2 wasn’t even meh.

That car looks dated in the worst 90s Dodge way.

Looks like the LEO started, the saw the truck coming and got on the brakes and slid into the intersection, at which point he got off the brakes and back onto the throttle to try and clear the truck.

I don’t fly a bunch, but I’ve never been on a flight where the pillow/blanket weren’t provided in a sealed bag. But I guess YMMV.

I like it...a lot. But the CVT only thing is almost assuredly a non-starter for me. Although, in a few years, when it’s time to upgrade, I wonder if there will be any new, MT cars available.
