I guess I’m alone here in thinking that $35k is actually a good price for a nice looking 300hp, 6 speed manual, widebody, hatchback, homologation, rwd biased-capable AWD, brand new car.... with a warranty. 

So, if anyone is interested, the way they can do the trick AWD system splits is combination common and clever. Its the exact same PTU/RDU single clutch configuration on demand awd system as pretty much anything Toyota these days, including a real rear diff instead of a twin clutch RDU. In most of these systems your…

It’s all down to whether you have a bumper sticker that says, “Gas, grass, or a$$, no one rides for free.”  Obviously if you have that the tracker has not paid its way and is a freeloader and fair game.  

Maybe they couldn’t get the overtime approved?

WBRZ found the device mounted to a pole outside across the street from McKinley Middle School. You’d think the cops would have found it first if it was such an effective tracking tool.

You should probably check what a comparable SUV got in 2003. It was probably near single digits depending on the size of the vehicle. We had a 2000 Explorer that averaged about 17mpg new, and by the time I started driving it, I was getting 12-13mpg.

It takes a lot of energy to hurl a 5k pound SUV down the road at 70 mph. I’m not sure physics and economics will allow for too many 30+ mpg SUVs.

We don’t need to, because as stated earlier, our cars are sold to Eastern Europe within 5 seconds. And really old cars end up in Africa through some wholesale buyers so it’s literally zero effort for Western European car owners to get rid of their cars. 

Hey, some people can make calico and doc martins work.

As a wheel designer, I’m fairly certain anyone at Enkei who saw this went “Oof. Okay then.”

“Here’s All Your Opinions on Nuts” [awkward slideshow]

Professional wheel designer here. Anytime you have a different number of spokes to lug holes, a bowl in the hub area (like on the TE37) for the lugs to sit in is one of the better solutions. Covered caps are another option.

These monstrosities are the Forester’s 17" alloy wheel package, you can see them on the Subaru website itself (I’d link but, well, Kinja don’t do that no more), this image is directly from the site:

These wheels are legit Subaru. The same guy who didn’t torque those bolts right on his shift and caused a recall of almost 400 new cars used to work in the wheel design department before they demoted him to the line because even though he was connected and didn’t get keel hauled,   he was still a perennial fuckup.

Lol....this and take your damn star

This hurts my brain. They’re all like that!

I heard all the 997 GT cars are terrible and just bad no matter the use case, so try and get these or a 991 GT car instead.
