Yes, but most people up here drive FWD or AWD vehicles with All Season tires, slow down a bit, and everyone survives just fine. A RWD vehicle can be stable. A FWD or AWD vehicle is stable.

Yep, and you can do the exact same thing with AWD. With the added benefit, when you need or want it, of the front wheels being available to help pull you through a turn or recover a skid or...

The issue is that FCA didn’t install some sort of interlock, where if the door is opened and the vehicle isn’t in park, it automatically puts it in park for you.

Well I mean... Just make sure to put that side against the wall in the museum. Nobody will know.

Most decent AWD systems (i.e., not the “FWD with RWD assist to get you moving off the line on ice” systems) will in fact “turn better”. It provides two more powered wheels for the ESC to work with when it’s attempting to stabilize the vehicle and make it do what you want.

A RWD car can behave perfectly normally in the snow when you aren’t purposely trying to hoon it.

Meanwhile I’m a young-ish male in Commieskatchewan paying $1200/yr to insure a 2016 WRX with full replacement coverage for the car and warranty, $2m in liability, uninsured/everything else coverage, road hazard coverage, etc all with a $100 deductible. And I’ve had two accidents in it. Everyone complains about how…

Why get a WRX/STI without the wing?

This was all brought on by mentioning there might be an issue.

Also anyone that buys a BRZ is not driving it in a way conducive to longevity. Or at least they shouldn’t be.

The only thing to look out for with Costco’s warranty is that they’ll pro-rate the present-day cost of the tire.

It’s the rule of lug nuts.

That’d be one of those “it’s on the books but nobody ever drives like that because traffic would grind to a halt” laws.

In my younger days, I was driving around in a black Sunfire coupe with the tiny factory spoiler. Some previous owner had put giant claw mark decals across the hood, and I’d never bothered to remove them. It was... somehow both completely generic and yet utterly distinct. In my years of ownership, it had collected…

Got pulled over by a Montana State Trooper doing 76mph down a 70mph highway. Six miles over on the highway. I mean, I was, but come on.

Thank god for that yellow arrow on that last one, otherwise I’d have never been able to figure out it was an F-150.

Yeah but like... if I’m about to use some word I’m not sure about in any various chat apps I’ll pop open a new tab real quick and Google it and make sure I’m thinking of the right word and have the spelling right.

I mean, the entire cycle looks wrong too.

People thought I was nuts, but this was actually one of my considerations in choosing a car.

Meanwhile it’s been -40 up here.
