The R Dot sticker is supposed to prove the block is OE Subaru replacement.

Why are they fighting this? Replace the stupid thing and move on.

You honestly think they did it on purpose?

Come on man.

I think the cop would have a really hard time giving you a ticket for wearing plugs on a motorcycle.

The car itself dampens exterior sound, the bikes has none of that. I can hear just as well (if not better) with plugs in on my motorcycle as I can in my new car.

Are you actually serious?

Their job is to sell me a car. That’s how the world works, that’s their job.

How I use my time is up to me, not them.

A. You need to get out of your shell and drive a few cars.

D. Tell me how you enjoy the journey along I-80 west at 4 am from Detroit to Badlands. If you feel like driving you’ll drive like normal. The steering wheel is not going away anytime soon. Ignore the futurists.

I’ve got several classics, I love the act of driving itself. However being able to truly be a 1 (modern) car household is a massive cost savings in both time and money for the average person.

Secondly, for road trips it’s the best thing imaginable. Those long haul weekend road trips are suddenly effortless. Based out…

Yeah, no.

Autonomous cars are revolutionary because they improve our quality of life and help us be more productive. A byproduct of that is improved safety. In no way is it “because people can’t take responsibility”

Tried this, then got fat(er)....that was a bad hobby to pick up for attracting ladies.

Not when you can buy a Focus ST for the same money and massive aftermarket support.

You get it, driving a manual has all the nuance of playing a musical instrument.

It’s all the subtle things, the freedom it gives you, the whirr of the synchros or even the friction point changes as the clutch warms up on a cold winters morning.

You’re presenting a false dichotomy.

Having an AWD system be it mechanical Haldex or compu-wizard RS has a significantly smaller impact on the driving experience than going from a manual to a PDK.

It’s all about perceived driver experience which mirrors driver interaction with the vehicle.

Insurance fraud for only 15k CAD? People do it for less but it seems like if you can afford to build a $100k car (valuation suspect) you’re not risking jail time for $15k.

If you had to own one suit that’s one that’ll last you a long long time.

Your Ermenegildo Zegna pants/ custom designed race suit will not scratch the carbon fiber.

It’s obvious, you go in feet first.

Getting out you sit on the edge and swivel ~120 degrees to your left and stand up.

HD trucks are exempt from CAFE so those 3/4 ton class up will continue to have frames unless the CAFE rules change.

The F 150 on the other hand is subject to CAFE, I can see a partial frame (cab back) in the near future like how American cars transitioned from full frames to partial to unibodies.

Yay, immediate rust!

The Colorado is an packaging disaster. Look up what it takes to replace the chain guides.
