I wasn’t being sarcastic. We’re talking about a church lady who laid the foundations of rock and roll, pioneered new sounds, inspired legends, offended stuffy traditional churchgoers, defied racial and gender perceptions of musicians at the time, and did it all while singing the gospel at the top of her lungs. If…

On the one hand, bears are not people; so no, the pass wouldn’t cover them.

Thanks. It was a good trip, and I got a lot of great pictures. And other than replacing a brake light bulb and fiddling with the headlights, I didn’t even have to do any wrenching.

The ironic thing is that we don’t own a Subaru, and never have (though I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to it). Our road trip rig is a Mazda6 wagon, and it handled everything we put it through just fine.

After recently going on a two-week road trip across the western US, hitting seven different national parks/monuments, I think it’s a combination of 1 and 5. Subarus were everywhere, especially Crosstreks. It’s worth noting that the only time we saw a bear was in Texas, at Big Bend. It was just chillin’ there by the…

All the stars for Meat Loaf.

There have been some really good answers so far (looking at you, 900turbo), but I gotta get me a HiAce.

Before my dad was a dad, he had two 1969 Rivieras, both in red. One was wrecked in the front, and the other in the back. He planned to put them both together into one good car, but unfortunately, that never happened.

The timeline seems overly aggressive, but I think Volvo has the right approach here. That in-between place, where you basically have a human driver babysitting a robot driver, is where the danger is; skipping level 3 really does seem like the way to go. That said, I hope they don’t rush things too much; they know what…

I actually meant to add that one, but forgot about it until now. Also, mandolins are fun.

I’m not sure if this is relevant to cars at all, but AC can also be transformed easily.

I didn’t ask, “Did I miss any?”

When you’re so hardcore you need an SG with three humbuckers.

A few other people have recommended it.

Yeah, my previous car, a 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring, also came with a spare but no jack. I thought it was really weird, and assumed a previous owner had lost the jack (I bought it used).

Interesting. I’d read that Prince originally envisioned it as a country song.

On top of that, he also worked with a lot of great musicians, backup singers, and especially songwriters. I really should listen to more of his work.

My wife used to have a ‘99 Maxima with climate control. I thought it was pretty nice; I definitely don’t need it, but I wouldn’t mind having it.
