“The last time I saw him was at a craft coffee place. I tried calling him after, but he had bought one of those minimalist wooden phones to bring with him on a 2 day tech retreat so he could go swinging naked between trees just like our ape ancestors did.”

I have a sudden urge to hail Hydra, or something.

On my 2010 speed 3, it’s the same - push down and under the detente to the upper left. Almost impossible to select reverse by mistake when you meant to select 1st because you have to overcome the spring pressure, and if you accidentally shift into 1st gear from 4th or 6th, it had better be from a super slow speed, or…

Upper left master race.

Go look up Subaru Prominence 2020, slides 8 and 13

So... I’ve heard a hint about a 2.5L FA (there was a review on Youtube where the journalist / reviewer said that Subaru engineers told him that it was less expensive to simply expand the existing FA20 to 2.5L), and I know that the Subaru Prominence 2020 plan states that Subaru intends on putting DI engines in all…

Look for it around 2019 or 2020. I’ve been keeping up with news and interviews + rumors and my strong belief is that it is about 3 years away.

He’s going to be seen as a poser with those badges and graphics, even though he’s legit. I’m guessing one rev of that supercharged V8 will be enough to quell the haters.

How’s acceleration on it? Is it geared really nicely from 1st to 3rd?

You can get a base Mustang GT right now for slightly less than the cost of the Accord Coupe V6 (Canada). There is only one trim of Accord V6 coupe here (fully loaded), and Ford is discounting the Mustang (employee pricing), and Ford’s financing rate sucks ... but still

This is the only site where my hatred for this idiotic shifter design is actually up voted and shared by numerous other people. Mention it elsewhere and you’ll get shit on so hard.

The explanation of the basic functions of an auto transmission should go like this:

Wow, savage. (but accurate)

Trick question indeed.

The idea is to be completely automatic. As I wrote in my review of the whole truck, think of it like your iPhone– don’t worry about what’s behind the technological curtain, just enjoy the ease of use from the front end.

330+ HP / 330 lb-ft in a compact hatchback not more than 3400+ lbs, preferably AWD. This is what I’m hoping for when the next gen STi is announced.

/sigh it’s little bullshit things like these that make me question my desire for a Golf R. I’m well aware that VW is particularly aggressive on saving costs from the little things - a plastic part here and there, maybe a pump or two or whatever - but when it goes too far, this sort of thing happens. Is VW notorious…

Which car do you have, and was it modded when the timing chain jumped?

I’m seriously considering either the Golf R (maybe I wait until the MK 8), or the next gen Subaru STi (said to be due out in a couple of years, according to hints dropped by Subaru execs). So here’s a question for people who might know the answer. The heart of any car is its engine. I’ve heard an I4 engine is less…
