Can someone slash these tires please? Or should we wait for the blowout to take care of it...

Yes, our micro-brews are awesome. I couldn’t find any decent micro-brews in Toronto or Mexico the last time I was there. Anywhere in this country (even airport bars), I can usually find at least one local IPA. Even the biker bar across the street has some regional IPAs available.

What town? I need to buy a flat bed tow truck and move there. The extra volume from broken Giulias should allow me to retire in a few months.

I sold a buddy my wrecked, but not totaled, motorcycle for about $700 earlier this year. It was worth more, but he asked to buy it before I even figured out what I wanted to do with it. The damage was mostly cosmetic, nothing functionally wrong outside of mangled handlebars. I wasn’t physically able to do anything…

People have been known to get rid of cars because they needed new tires. However, in those cases, the tires were either worth more than the car or they were “done” with that car and used the tires as an excuse to get another.

Hydraulic? Ours were both mall crawl spec with the 4.0 and 2WD. We only had an electric fan. Had to replace the fan motor around 115K and the fan relay a few times, before I figured out I needed to replace the connector also.

Truth! I work for a school bus OEM. We face palm when customers insist on ordering worm gear style clamps because “they are better”. The warranty data proves them wrong.

I would consider Dave an expert on cooling systems.

To be fair, I never see any Wranglers or CJ’s in my local u-pull it yards.

Since we are playing what if...

My previous car was recalled and I had it taken care of within a couple of months (mostly waiting for an opening in the service department). It was a 2003 Outback. That model year was a transition period where the airbag supplier switched from Autoliv to Takata. Turns out I had an Autoliv bag!

When you compare a comparably equipped 3.6 Outback to the Buick, there isn’t much price difference. Comparing the Buick to the 2.5 isn’t fair since the Buick has a lot more power.

I will not miss the 3.6. I recently purchased a 2017 Outback with the 2.5. I expected to leave with the 3.6. The 3.6 felt front heavy around the corners and had too much low end grunt with no high end power. The car was developed for the 2.5 or a 2.0 turbo. In my opinion, the 3.6 doesn’t belong in it.

I forgot to ask about getting the 18" wheels changed to 17" ones on my 2017 Outback. I have taken it on fire roads every weekend since I bought it. The extra sidewall would be nice to smooth things out.

I had to schedule my appointment one month in advance then leave it at the dealership for almost 24 hours for inspection. All the tech did was look at the airbag to see who made it (mine was made the year they transitioned to Takata). The tech probably spent less than 10 minutes total and never moved my car.

My calculations show that in order make that save, Hillier needed two 10 pound brass balls spinning at 15,000 RPM in order to reach peak gyroscopic effect. I’m sure the ladies in his life can confirm my math.

I work for a company where I am a resource tasked with managing other resources who do sustaining engineering work on units. Yes, that’s how we refer to things, although we do break out the thesaurus from time to time.

Maybe in contested airspace the F35 could handle the CAS role, but it wouldn’t be as effective as the A-10 in uncontested airspace. The only reason the A-10 is so effective is because ISIS and Taliban do not have a fleet of fighters. The A-10 requires air dominance to be effective, which the F-35 should help supply.
