Before I read the caption or saw who was driving, I knew it had to be Jim.

2016 includes fixing the leaks on the Willys (I already have the same for 2017, 2018, etc...), and keeping my E46 roadworthy as it eclipses 200,000 miles near next Xmas.

Only took you six days to think of that? I’m proud of you.

I think there’s a trade-off there, because a Subaru’s interior is made out of cardboard and tin and their stereo speakers are actually cans on string.

Careful with that hot take - you might burn yourself.

See? Collection.

It’s got the same interior as a GTI, unless you’re just talking about cloth vs. black leather seats. The Golf R is boring, yes, but it’s also not a “hey-look-at-me” Focus RS.

Fine. Buy a Mk6 GTI and then pay to get another 80hp out of it and add an AWD system and let me know if you come in below $36k.

Well you’re the best.

Your grasp of the obvious is clear.

It’s too immature looking, like someone at Ford got a hold of a JC Whitney catalog and just said “yeah, this’ll work”.

You live a sheltered life.

Will you leap-frog them to the US? No?

Good to know your standard of cool is a kei car econobox.

I mean, show me another option for AWD, 300hp, manual transmission performance car for less than $35k.

I’ve heard it’s like driving a bandsaw demon.

The Focus RS is a direct competitor to both the STI and Golf R, much like the ST vs. WRX vs. GTI. They’re all 300+hp AWD $35k cars.

Yes. You buy a Focus RS if you’re autistic.

FRAM is shit anyway, but I see oil pressure more than than in all the cars I drive. Maybe the rotary engine isn’t the best thing since sliced bread, and actually has some shortcomings?
