I had our previous Outback detailed twice by the same shop, and both times weird things happened. After the second visit, I heard what sounded like a bad idler a couple days later. I opened the hood with the engine running and found a 3 D-cell Maglite happily spinning on the accessory belt. It had been there for a…

I thought the GT celebrated that every day, simply by existing.

My father-in-law had a couple of these. They were cute, but I don’t fit in them very well. The one I drove was a convertible, and I looked over the windshield, if I recall.

I wish I could give your post a thousand stars. I’ve recently had the ‘people > property’ argument myself.

Would you like to feel better? Here’s my car a couple months ago, after I lost control at about 115mph while competing in Time Trial with NASA at Pitt Race.

I cringe every time I see somebody with their feet on the dash. ‘Hey, that’s a really great way to get your jaw broken with your own knees.’

I did make it. I competed in TT on both 7-29 and 7-30, last weekend. The only issue with the car, really, was the external oil reservoir. It leaks pretty badly on the track. I’ll have to find a better one.

You’ve made the claim twice now that this is ‘not a good article’ without defending that claim one bit. He presents a strong factual case to disagree with the Twitter Monster, so I’m not sure what else you want in terms of polish.

Obviously these trucks presented an imminent threat to his safety, and he was just standing his ground.

You, sir, have just insulted knobs everywhere.

Having just been flipped off while on my bike by somebody who pulled out in front of me, I’m going to agree with you there.

You’re not wrong. Normally I hit that link flat at around 115, get the car straightened out and then brake. Lifting or braking in that kink, at speed, is bad news.

Thanks! It’s why we buy safety equipment, right? I only put that roll bar and the HANS in recently. Glad I did.

No loss. I will be competing in the car again later this month at Autobahn Country Club. I have a parts car in the same color, so I had 90% of the parts I needed to fix it. Steering rack, both right doors, lights, fender, bumper covers.I used a cheap hydraulic equipment set to push the left rear corner into shape, but…

Of course you can ask.

Cameron is a friend of mine and I have ridden in that car on track. It is, for lack of a better word, perfect. He’s done beautiful work on it.

I like this better than Subaru competing in F1, WEC, WRC, Super GT, whatever. This is cheaper and cooler. Good for them for finding something nobody else is doing and making something cool out of it.

Seriously, it’s time for closed cockpits. Look at LMP - those drivers survive horrific accidents because they have a cage around them. And who complains about the difficulty extracting a driver from one of those?

This is a neat post, and reminds me a lot of what I did last year when I bought a cheap tow vehicle.

That made me chuckle. I’ve never heard that story.
