It’s really too bad they don’t have the 6-speed anymore. It was about $1,000 less expensive than the CVT and it’s got good feel considering how most subaru manuals feel. It also tells you what gear you are in, you know because I forget.

CP because I had one and it was a never ending money pit of dispare. When the air suspension finally failed and the power steering was working when it felt like it I just couldn’t do it any more and got rid of it. It’s the complexity of an audi allroad shoved into a tin wedge. That being said every minute that it was…

The 90's tercel is certainly the peak of Toyota styling.

Very ironic considering that at Indy they only make LEFT TURNS.

To be fair they were already tow strapped together before they encountered the semi.

I knows. Les Etas Unis didn’t get a real WRX until 2002 model year.

A 2.5 RS isn’t exactly ordinary but still that’s how you do it: on the track and zero fucks given. PS my mom who is also a grandma had a 2001 2.5 RS 2 dr. She loved that car (as did I).

Yeah, full size trucks with their weight sink down to the bottom of the snow and like to dig holes with their tires. The lighter weight vehicles like your pathfinder/4-runner/Isuzu rodeo (sorry for the isuzu) will stay a bit up in the snow and not dig holes each time you hit the gas. I’ve got 31x10.5 tires on my isuzu…

I got my 3/4 ton suburban stuck in a gravel quarry one day. I would have lost my job if my boss found out. I ended up building a stable surface to drive upon on the loose gravel using surveyors lath. It was a 2wd truck because the state is cheap on their vehicles. That being said if it was 4wd I would have probably…

In Whitefish, only Canadian’s do it (I jokes). I’ve never understood why folks prop up their wipers either. I just turn car on, start defroster, scrap windshield, then drive.

One of the coolest cars I saw on a regular basis when I lived in Sacramento was a lowered early 2000's outback. It just looked great.

We have a chevy 2500 HD at work, going sideways is easier than you think, and fun too.

Now there’s an asshole move if I’ve ever seen one.

I’d drive the crap out of that to the slopes with a good set of snows of coarse. Traction would not be an issue.

You are going to catch hell for this, not from me though.

Consider the Subaru SVX, it only came in an auto and IMO the auto was appropriate for that car. It still went like stink with the auto, and was a very fun car to dirve.

I’d like to see some statistics on sucessfull rebuilds of two rotor mazda RX-7 and RX-8 motors, I bet its in the low double digits like 30%. The motors are not disposable but not nearly as friendly to a refurbish as a piston engine.

It’s like I’m torn between two sides on this. It is so damn cool, and awesome and everyting but it would be an absolute pain in the ass to maintain. You would have to find Henry Wankle’s great grandson to rebuild the motor every 30k.

I would run my Mazda 3 or codrive the Z. I hate the summer tires I have for the mazda so a couple of auto crosses is all it will take to do them in.

Yes, they run at Costco, and at a lot up in Ronan. Helena runs at the national guard airport and at the MDOT/Montana Highway Patrol parking lot. Helena is the best, usually a 2 day event and they don’t keep the speeds down with cones. I’ve seen nearly 100 mph in the Z in helena.
