My wife drives a CR-V and the "Real Time AWD" system in those things is an absolute joke, especially in winter weather. Having owned Subarus and a Quattro-equipped Audi in the past, I feel like I'm fairly familiar with how a properly-sorted AWD system feels in the snow. With her car, it feels like there's absolutely…

Wow! I didn't know that they flew those 145's on such long routes. 75% of my flights are from ORD to SFO, SEA, DEN, or PHX, and those are always on 320's or 737-8's. Every once in a while they'll run a 170 or CR7 to MSP, but even then, that's usually an A319/320. I've only been on a 145 to St. Louis, Fayetteville and…

I'm a United frequent flyer, so I hear you there. They fly those regionals out of ORD to damn near any airport that's 3 hours away or less. BUT... I'd personally rather be on a new-ish ERJ 170 than one of American's old shitcan MD80's.

Having been held prisoner on a couple of those awful MD80's, I'd say that you're probably right.

"to say he did".. that's got to be the only explanation for it.

I thought it might be an RB5, but I wasn't sure. Those things (and the 22B) were like the ultimate forbidden fruit for GC8 fans over here.

That wing looks good on the GC8, I even thought it looked ok on the last gen. STI. it just looks out of place on the new one. Love your car by the way! I had a GC8 2.5RS back before you could get a WRX in the states. Still one of my favorite cars that I've owned.

It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but the looks have grown on me.

I guess that's all relative. I personally consider it a bargain for the level of performance that you're getting.

My vote is for the WRX. The new one in particular.

Maybe that's what it's supposed to be, but the TLX seems to be more TL than TSX.

Uh.. no. The first-gen TSX and the current ILX are almost identical in size.

Uh.. no. The first-gen TSX is almost identical in size to the ILX.

I want the next ILX to be the spiritual successor to the first-gen TSX. It doesn't need AWD, it doesn't need more power, it doesn't need more tech, and it doesn't need more headlight bulbs. It needs more TSX.

You can find car news anywhere on the intertubes, but this is the kind of stuff that you can only find on Jalopnik. Torchlopnik specifically. This is why Torchlopnik is the Bestlopnik.

Game over. You win. That's awesome.

This seems batshit crazy, but give it some thought and it makes sense. Mercedes is going to be forced to make a decision eventually if their drivers can't learn to get along. Plus, Hamilton wants to be the #1 driver in whatever team he's in, and right now, he's not the clear #1 at Mercedes. If he goes back to McLaren,…

Agreed. I never really realized how creepy those bastards are. Friggin' huge too.

I never realized how fucking creepy full-grown kangaroos are.

It's all fun and games until someone gets kicked in the face.
