I'm similar to this but rather than cheat days, I plan on cheat meals here and there and just portion them throughout the week. Working out quite often helps with this too. I also cook a lot at home so the kinds of foods I eat is different than if I went and out every day.

No. No. No. You don't need to post to Twitter, Facebook, or whatever when you're driving. If you think you need this, please don't drive ever.

This feature would be great if it did work, but rarely does. It ends up being more frustrating than not.

Mk VI R here as well. Not sure what the issue is as we still have buttons for the various functions. Like you, I wanted the moonroof only but had no luck without getting the Nav screen. still, the HVAC and audio controls rely on buttons moreso than the screen. Then again I mainly listen to CD's and bluetooth audio so…

Like all 300s, the S is equipped with the extremely capable and smart 8-speed transmission, with the difference being that in the Sport mode offered you can get slightly quicker shift times with better engine and throttle response. It's not a huge difference, but it's nice if you want to back up the V8's bark with a…

I agree to a point. Drove the first gen for two weeks and the gearing was just awful. 1-2 had such a huge gap that it felt like there was no power. econobox-wise though, I'd take it over a Corolla any day. Though not too much of a fan of the wagon styling now. Few good econoboxes out there to choose from, though a…

All Subaru really has going for it in its mainstream models is a number of kinda weak-chested engines and standard all-wheel drive. Everything else now fits neatly into the Camry/Sonata mold.

There were still bi-planes used during WW2 at the beginning. During the battle with battleship Bismarck, the British Navy still used bi-planes on their aircraft carriers and they were so old, the AA guns on the Bismarck were not calibrated for their speed and they couldn't shoot them down leading to her eventual…

I have this same feeling but it's not about the control, I know that is limited, it's more about knowing what's going on around me and what to do. I admit I tend to drive on the aggressive side but that driving has forced me to be very attentive to the environment around me.

From past experience, Infinti M45 as a DD, just get winter tires and be careful driving it. Took the car out to Colorado and drive it through Chicago blizzards with no issues in this config, at least until I got a winter ride. If you like the car and don't want to drive it in the winter, just get a cheap winter beater.

Automakers are now making nearly all of their cars with all-wheel drive as an option, if not standard. The thought is that it gives extra security in places where the weather is very changeable. But all-wheel drive isn't what matters. It's the tires that matter. Here's proof.

Live in any area that has a population and that's the general trend. People just expect to not have to watch out for themselves and do whatever it is that they want to do.

Ah the Caprice wagon. Uncle had on. the heat was stuck on full blast too and the back window failed on him. In the summer it was unbearable. In the winter, even at full blast, the heat barely warmed the front seating area

From what it seems, R400 has been more about power and getting the most out of it than it has been about usability. Or at least from the first info, forgot if they tried to make it like a Golf or no in terms of functionality.

I'll rock a slightly used RS3 or Golf R before getting a WRX. More space, nicer interior, quiet cruising ride, and still a blast when going through turns.

I'll take an RS3 over the R400. More practical and with a tune, can get to the same power I bet. Plus that 5 cylinder engine :drools:

My second exposure to an American car was in 1986. My father had asked the rental company for something "bit like my 323i". He was an old-school Brit my father, and unlike his youngest offspring never tempted to make dramatic attention-seeking outbursts, but after a few hours lolloping along in the Buick we'd been…

Right there with you. We all have lists of cars that we'd buy if we won the lottery but that's how you lose all that money quickly.

Yes to the R SportWagen! Love my 2013 R and would really like to see the wagon makes it's way to the US so that I can pick one up.

You beat me to it =/
