If I were Red Bull, and a connection with Porsche/VAG were on the table, I’d leverage their vast manufacturing capabilities while retaining the engineering and development work in-house. Let them put their badge on the car if they want.

Please, if you any of you make something like this, put a firewall between the fuel source and the ignition source. A ~24-28ga CRES or nickel sheet is not that expensive.

Sounds like a job for some intrepid pirates with fire fighting capabilities to score big (or die trying).

Relax, it was a meme from when Foxtrot Alpha was a sub-blog here. It’s not that deep.

My Foxtrot Alpha homies will understand.

What are the chances we see Grosjean and Alonso in the 500 together?

My ‘19 Tacoma came with rear drums. I hate working on drums, so I hope they last (IAW the service manual of course).

My guy, the goalposts are the criteria IN THE ARTICLE. I don’t care what your goalposts are; those were never assumed. In the article, the requirements are: $15k, spacious, manual, “somewhat” reliable. That’s it. YOU injected the 100k mile requirement into the conversation as a surrogate for the reliability criteria.…

Yeah I agree that is weak ass shit. But let’s be completely honest. Calling LGB a “slur on a sitting president” as an argument to suggest that no one can aggrieve any president is fucking stupid, and deserves to be called out for what it is: partisan bullshit. You cannot argue otherwise, lest you apply it to all…

You're right, LGB is just a petty way to get around the censors, which I think is one of the reasons it irks Biden supporters so much. 

He’s literally mad at a phrase directed at Biden, the same as if Trump supporters would be mad at the same sentiment aimed at Trump. It is the same thing, not conflated. The sponsorship is just a manifestation of a public entity saying this phrase, the same as when Snoop Dog, Alec Baldwin, Madonna, or Robert De Niro…

This is a slur on a sitting president.

I’m not contesting that completely stock/unmolested turbo manual Subarus from that era are rare; that is a non sequitur. What I am saying is that you can get a “somewhat” reliable one for under $15k that meets the criteria set forth in the article. They don’t need to be completely stock/unmolested to be somewhat…

You’re moving the goal posts with the 100k mile parameter. That is an unreasonable requirement for a 14-15 year old car, especially a turbo manual Subaru that was meant to be a daily driver. Like I said, “clean” is relative, and if you expect to find one with under 100k miles, your standards are too high for that…

Depends on where you are. They are plentiful here in the PNW. There is enough knowledge out there to be able to call BS on beaters. Plugging in the parameters just on Seattle CL, I get 5 discrete WRXs, another 5 in Portland that meet the criteria, all under $15k. With some more digging, I’m sure there are more on…

Wants: Manual, spacious, somewhat reliable

I sat in one of these at an auto show and it's was the highlight of the show. It is SO nice inside. I wanted to sit in the fully reclined middle captain chair forever.

THAT WAS HER? HAHAHAHAHA

Tow this thing behind an RV and charge its batteries (slowly), and have a sweet runabout when you arrive! Don't need to be too aggressive on the regen brakes.

“And yes, even “Brake Magic” is available if you want to be just like Lewis Hamilton and lock your front tires into Turn 1 by accident.”
