Passing in a Subie with a CVT requires taking a little time to learn how the throttle tip-in works. If you just floor it, it will react how you describe. If you are just a bit more judicious in your throttle application, acceleration comes on much faster. The throttle in these cars is non-binary in nature, and it…

I never managed to kill my 1987 Suzuki Samurai JX, and neither did my two brothers who inherited the car after me. I put about 130,000 miles on it in 5 years of ownership, including both long highway hauls back and forth to college and numerous pavement-free excursions. My brothers combined added another 120k miles.…

What I see every day with the engineering grad students I work with is they can use a computer and pick up software with ease. That said, many of them, especially those from the US, clearly never received any instruction on how computers actually work - meaning directory/folder/file organization, file/data types,…

Nice to see The OA made the list.  I wish Netflix would take a hint.

The only thing I ever watched on Speed was F1 and Formula 1 Decade. I miss their coverage, but Sky on ESPN will do if I cannot have Varsha, Matchett, and Hobbs.  At least it is better than Fox and NBC offered.

Much better use of taillights than GM’s use of backup lights as a method to scare the hell out of pedestrians walking by parked cars vehicle locators.

2nd Gear: It isn’t like LG doesn’t know how to make batteries.  I have a hard time faulting GM for choosing them.

It is not necessary to wash any normal laundry loads at 140 degrees F. That is not hot enough to really kill anything scary, so all it does it waste energy heating up the water.  Here’s a lifehack, wash all your clothes on the cold setting and save some money.

Having driven in Texas, and almost been killed by people legally driving way too fast for their abilities, I can comfortably say 85mph is as fast as almost all people should be driving on the highway.  80mph would be about right according to my gut.

Disney has gotten so ridiculously expensive and complicated, it is a wonder that anyone is willing to put up with what it takes to go there anymore. The new Genie+/Lightning Lane idiocy is just a return to the old ride ticket system where you paid to enter the park and then paid again to ride the rides. My wife and I…

This is one of my favorite YT channels.  Highly recommend.

Having just driven my Dad’s Subaru Forester with most of these features, I am just going to say it is a good thing they are missing from a focused sports coupe.

I would like to know what Tesla I can get for the price of a GR86.

As the owner of a 2018 Legacy, I can tell you they are a great car at a great price, plus, you don’t have to deal with a snobby Honda dealer who acts like they are doing you a favor to get one.

It least it wasn’t one of those spider graphs that C&D uses.

It is hard for me to imagine that any driver in a F1 car intentionally tries to crash out a competitor at the speeds they drive. Trying that is a just a good way to ruin your own race. They were both being very aggressive, but Hamilton should have been a bit closer to the apex. I am glad Max is ok. However, he was…

For some reason, we only got the first 2 episodes.  Are more forthcoming?

Seems like it proves a lack of creativity with music execs that they music they are deciding gets to be popular all sounds like the same thing we’ve been listening to since the 90s. Same 4 chords, same formula, etc. Once upon a time, music execs regularly took chances on different things and won big. Now we just…

Where was the third person?  In the frunk?  Seems likely these folks were not obeying the rules of the road in more than one way.

So, every car sold here in the past 20+ years then?
