I'm curious, what liability are you referring to?

The manual is very clear. Don't go full throttle or above 4k rpms for the first 1k miles. Also to vary rpms and don't use cruise for the first 1k.

I understand. The problem is very few people take the break in procedure seriously. I've been told by dealers that the new ones no longer have to be broken in. Lies!!!! Just drive gently for the eternity that is the 1st 1,000 miles and most likely everything will be great.

Crap. I guess I better buy the 911 when I reach that point.

Burn oil? That's a new one. My family has never had that problem with any of our Subarus. We've had 10 between all of us between 1976 and now.

And then buy it back from them with a Carmax warranty? ;-)

This is just stupid local-news fear-baiting. Don't fall for it, or, more likely, make sure your mom doesn't fall for it. You can put any kind of insipid stickers that you want on the windows of your car, and unless it's your social security number, you're not going to make yourself any more a potential crime victim…

They even point out the crude drawing of the dog and somehow infer it's a "Small, non-guard dog." Are there versions of these stickers that offer a more vicious looking dog?

Good to know. My clients are all US based, so I learned something new today. Seized cars seem to make their way to auctions here if the police don't have other uses for them.

Do you live outside if the US? Where did you get this information that insurance companies charge more for previously seized cars? I have never once seen this as a rating factor at any of my clients nor heard of it from anyone else in the industry.

In other words, we'll never know the whole story.

Yeah, when you put it like that, it's not looking so bad. You get the safety and distance benefits of a big commercial operation and the luxury of a private jet. I will say that you have to have a lot of money or a company that really likes you to justify this, but I guess that goes without saying. What really…

My first thought upon seeing that picture was that it was a wrecked car.

I want any Stratos so badly that I'm considering importing a Lister Bell kit and putting it together myself since that's the only way it will ever happen sadly.

If it only has 2 doors, a manual, and is sold in the US, I'm buying. I would really like it to be well equipped and less than $38k too.

This really needs a poll. The world must know which is better!

I was just coming here to say because they were all men...

If going for purely practical doesn't float your boat, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT should. It's big, easy to get people and kids in and out of, safe, has AWD, and can even be optioned with frontal collision warning. At the same time, it does around a 4.5 second 0-60. Why wouldn't this be perfect for a family?

2014+ Forester XT w/Eyesight. Has enough power to be fun while being an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus and got the best IIHS score for frontal automatic collision avoidance system. Let's face it, new parents are the most distracted by their kids, so this is a great feature. Not to mention, Subaru has not only the top…

Tesla sales are legal in Colorado.
