What an idiot. There are cows all over the damn road. Slow down for the obvious hazard? Nah, I got somewhere to be.

No problem with free range cattle. That kind of thing still exists out in some western states here in the US.

But yes, totally driver's fault for not slowing down and taking care for the obvious hazard. what an idiot.

Agreed. Driver's fault for not taking care and slowing down for the obvious hazard.

Agreed. With cows all over the road, the driver was an idiot for not slowing to like 15 mph.

For this well thought out response I shall award you with this relevant and fascinating bit of media reserved only for those who I think can handle the truth:

Truth. Gah!!! Road rage! Internet rage! Why can't we all just get along?!?!

Mustangs have always had the best sounding V8s. Even the 4.6s sound good.

"Run, rabbit, run" is what I say.

I can get behind that. Although, I was replying to the other guy, ThatbastardKurtis... BTW, another subaru guy in Virginia? I live in central VA. I had a 97 OBS with a full STi swap. Now I have a forester which will be getting a turbodiesel soon. Feel free to contact me if you want to talk subarus sometime.

"now contrast that to rural VA, like around Roanoke or rural Richmond, the Asian dude might have gotten shot."

You specifically cite rural Virginia as being a place where you might encounter racial violence. Reading comprehension, eh? Actually if you want to get right down to it, this situation never would have…

So racism and violence is concentrated in rural areas? I think you'd find the data says otherwise.

My reply was directed to netloco.

He keeps coming up with fresh beats.

Hmm, considering Blacksburg is probably 20% asian, your point is null.

Or Alabama, or Mississippi, or Colorado, or Wyoming, or Washington State. Or Chicago? or Detroit? All places where racism is way more rampant than Virginia.

Easy on the Virginia bashing. Whatever lead you to believe that racism is acceptable in the Old Dominion?

I've actually been lauded for finishing consistently and taking care of equipment. I don't think the glass houses metaphor stacks up here. After all, you were the one who singled out the driver for being hard on trannys. And yes, I totally agree that not rev matching will end in trans failure. If I were the manager I…

"southpaw, too!"

5 speed is great, but you should at least poke around and see if you can come across an STI 6 spd drivetrain. If you're really lucky, you might find one for cheap... if you're lucky.
