I’m just jumping into this to say that I do greatly enjoy his videos. I watch them all, with the exception of some of the hypercar stuff. I’m a quirky guy who likes quirky cars.

This is very cyberpunk in that it looks futuristic and makes me think about how we’re living in a dystopia but not a cool dystopia

I know you’re going to get dragged for this, but thank you. The nose knows. I work at a new Subaru and Chevy dealer, and the Subaru plastics smell warms my heart. The Chevy plastics smell, I’m not as fond of, but the point is, you can tell what the car is by the smells.  And honestly like come on, the whole interior…

The heart wants what it wants

Cool, me tooooo, yet I still have to wear them at work because customers both vaccinated and unvaccinated all stroll in without masks, because of course they’re all selfish and don’t care about works of the businesses they frequent.  Plus my work stopped giving us masks.  So, congrats? Lots of vaccinated people still…

I mean, I like buttons where I don’t have to look down and hit the right point on the screen, orrrr push on the screen 2 different times to get to the damn sub menu where I turn the heated seat on.  That’s just not a good UI and unfortunately with car touchscreens, their detail on how they design their UI isn’t quite…

In an earlier part of my career working at a Subaru dealer in PA (I still do), in 2013 or so I was what caused SOA to put out a memo to all dealers that we cannot sell US spec cars to Canadian customers.

The comments by the usual BAT followers were awful.  For some reason it was just a giant group activity in objectifying her and coming up with awful innuendos.  Gross.

We had a lil bit of a pandemic that might have upset the economy just a wee bit since that 2019 report. Plus underemployment is rampant. Plus the definition the US Census Bureau uses for poverty is (probably, I’m guessing) completely outdated compared to inflation and other cost of living increases, such as the…

Before anyone skips past how he justified the quality of the lower priced filters and oil he is recommending and just dogs on the prospect of using cheaper oil and filters, please remember the US is increasingly seeing it’s citizens at or slightly above poverty level, so this is a nice tip to save a few dollars that…

For anyone scared of spiders, the humble jumping spider can help you to get over that fear. They are very inquisitive, friendly, and social. Just sit and look at them. They’ll turn and look up at you, doing the same studying. If you gently put your hand down in front, don’t be surprised if they jump on, letting you…

Some carbon fiber accessory manufacturer is gonna make a killing making replacements for the black plastic cladding

My resistance to change might be showing here, but there is zero need, and I argue it goes against the spirit of the WRX lineage, for Subaru to make a whole ass new car that’s different from the Imprezas. The WRX is a hopped up Impreza. The EVO is a hopped up Lancer. The RS is a hopped up Focus. And so on. This is the…

It’s actually the layout of the motor and drivetrain on Subaru cars that make the front end so long. When pedestrian crash standards came out, the noses got taller, and the hoods higher, but the length was similar to before.

Absolutely right. I’ve been selling Subarus since 2008 and the CVT is fine by now. It’s not ideal, but it’s not a reason to avoid the cars entirely. Someone mentioned the Subaru 5-speed automatic, that ain’t exactly one of the world’s greatest transmissions, and it was in maybe 10% of all Subaru automatics back then.…

A vaccine for a pandemic is as much a societal/empathetic choice as it is a personal one. We are not monoliths, we exist as a group. If this was about personal choice, Texas wouldn’t be hunting people who have abortions right now. We are *never* going to get out of this if people don’t stop being selfish.

All Challengerswithpoliceinterceptorbadges Are Bastards

I was scrolling to see when this logically fallacious comment would pop up (it always does whenever someone gets triggered because cops are made fun of).

Those of us who want police abolished know that it cannot be done without putting a better system in place. If you actually care to hear more about this, I can point…

Thank you, as shown, this was indeed done in America, so it can’t really be “never, ever”

All the functions you listed are controlled by the EyeSight system and require the car to be able to modulate the brakes and throttle, which is hard to enable when the driver mechanically controls what gear the car is in. Subaru ain’t about designing separate systems for manuals. Really the only thing that can be on…
