Nah fam, the Subaru 4EAT auto had a system back then that always sent at least 10% to the back wheels, and shifted up to 50% back as needed, and was never 2WD. By comparison, the Honda system of the time was front wheel drive until slip occurred then shifted up to 18% to the back wheels, and did not engage above…

Torch is so Torchy that we are starting to see posts that we think are his but are actually from other writers, it seems

Um, the CAT phones, upon a brief glance, only have an IP68 rating, which is the same as many more pedestrian phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S8. So maybe just get a normal phone that’s IP68 rated and put a good case on it?

I did pause for a moment at the Brembo wheels, because they look like O.Z.’s unless I’m missing something?

If what he says is true about the fax being sent over instantly after him making a ludicrous offer, than yeah, I can understand. But I think I would have said something a little more realistic than $15 million knowing what I was up against.

I’ve always been vaguely aware of this since the beginning... I’ve always thought that if it was me, I’d have just taken the dollars and moved on, before a lawsuit happened. If you go up against a multinational corporation, you kinda have to know that it’s going to take a toll on you, even if you “win”.

I thought I remembered something about the engines being built by one person, or something like that. I forget what but different from a normal factory line.

Thanks!

Are these still hand assembled in Japan, or did they nix that and do whatever they do with the other Toyotas?

Yeah, I think it was earlier though? Like around 2008-10? From what I remember they came in through the myriad of warehouses where I live (Allentown, PA).

Our new scourge that we are unleashing is the spotted lanternfly. PA residents are actually encouraged to SMOOSH ON SIGHT, which is a strange and delightful…

YES! I misspoke, you nailed it, in my mind I was imagining a T&C but I lack the knowledge of these vehicles.

Trying to lure in the holdouts who keep buying Grand Caravans, I imagine. Blech

Our little dealership placed three pre-orders for customers within minutes of the order system opening yesterday.

They were about to be discontinued due to low sales anyhow.

Elements are fetching stupid resale values these days, much like Subarus... I’d go for a Mazda5. They don’t have the greatest resale value, which is weird because they are fantastic little cars. Side doors are easy sliding which allow easy access to your cargo. And they are surprisingly fun to drive!

My mom has this button on her 04 Forester. Usually about once a year, I will get a text saying “There are lights on on my car and I can’t get them to go off, help!” And every year I reply the same way, which is “You hit the button on top of the steering column.”

Also, Subaru dealers get many calls from people with…

Tom, Thank you so much! Glad that I can ensure your customers are taken care of!

Can we take a moment to talk about this Heritage Blue they are doing? I just took this pic at my work. We have been debating incessantly about it’s application on WRX/STI/BRZ. My manager had a Forester XT reserved for his wife in the 50th Anniv. trim and when it came in we all went “ewwww”.

I have a Surly Big Dummy! We have a lot of fun times with that. Both my 8 and 5 year olds have been riding without training wheels since 3 years old, but we’re waiting on the 5 year old to get a little stronger, right now the BD is the mothership, and she attaches and detaches as needed. I can’t wait til she can do a…
