None of the people in those pictures is holding a camera.

It sure looks it doesn’t it? Because of the more squat roof line and higher belt line I guess.

Most of those cars are taller, but also not as long.

Body types be damned, the point of an SUV is to enable to you to sports with some capability leftover for utility. The Crosstrek nails that. Hence, it’s “almost” an SUV.

Well when they use water for oil... Seriously 0w-20 oil. Use anything heavier on those engines you start to have other issues.

My guess is the engine was replaced due to oil consumption and not something like a rod through the block.

1.) Subaru has the best CVT I’ve ever driven, hands down.

Is it even a compact crossover? Traditionally, a compact crossover is something like the CR-V or RAV-4 or Escape. The Crosstrek is a little smaller than the traditional compact CUV, but it’s too big for the typical subcompact CUV like the Honda HR-V or the KIA Soul or the Nissan Juke.

I know I’m going to piss off some purists here, but I agree with you. This is more than enough off-road-ability for 98% of the SUV/CUV buying public.

The snail filtrate and oils and such that I’m using are hella cheap. Obviously everyone’s skin is different, but it’s working well for me. A bit of that, a dab of a moisturizing oil blend, and the tiniest bit of moisturizer and it’s great. I’m so, so surprised because I’ve been putting up with it for years.

I have TSA preCheck for work. It made my life a lot easier, because as a transgender person, the regular TSA lines always had me pulled out and grope checked by a shaking terrified TSA agent. With preCheck, I never got pulled out again. They just waved me though, would occasionally ask me about the odd chest lumps I…

I’m in for lobster, especially in roll form. Corn on the cob is fabulous, but honestly it’s so very simple, I’m not sure it would make a very interesting article. Unless...you could play around with fats (Bacon fat instead of butter? Flavored olive oil?) and flavoring (Various spices? Fresh herbs?)

Question: if I were to travel to the paranoid United States of America in the near future, should I, upon arrival, power off my iPhone, since it always requires a passcode entry (which I cannot be forced to input) to be reactivated upon restarting, and then only turn it on back again after I’ve passed through…

On a somewhat almost related note, we bought a car two weeks ago and I was shocked to learn we could put the down payment on a credit card. Talk about a no-brainer. Yeah, I’ll take the rewards! We had the cash, so it’s already there to pay off the card. Free money.

This is more of a general statement, but David, I’m always, always, always so impressed with the depth, research and detail that goes into your stories. Well done brother, great stuff.

Cave and Basin in Banff will be free too.

All Canada’s Parks are free this year too!

You know, I’ve looked and I’ve looked and I just can’t see anywhere in my comment where I said a single fucking thing about Hillary Clinton.

As the residents of Trumpistan are so fond of saying, she lost. Get over it. Focus on the short-fingered piss golem we’ve got to deal with now.

I think that's kind of a made up thing used in a lot of cases along with "the surge required to turn it on uses more power". Mythbusters did a bit on that argument used against turning lightbulbs on and off and they found that it didn't have any impact on lifespan on the bulbs and used drastically less power. Not…

Diatomaceous earth. Many of the commercial companies that go organic use this product. If food grade, it is safe to put even where children and pets are present. We used it last year, and while it took a few weeks for all the ants to disappear from within the finished basement, we have not had any since.
