Maybe this is the real reason for that “mid engined vette”?

yeah yeah yeah.... I’m just mad Sweden toasted my fantasy scores haha

It’s worth a shot!

I know this is pretty much a normal thing in WRC to work the rules and gain every possible advantage in a crowded field but I just want to say this....

I’d say it’s mostly the latter... Ogier has switched teams and still won the championship last year, although it was closer. I think we’re just living in the age of fast French rally drivers named Sebastian?

Carbon fiber or not I have a hard time seeing $45k worth of car here... that said if someone wanted to give it to me I’d gladly put some white rally wheels and lights on it and give it the hooning it deserves!

It’s a drag car. I’m no expert at drag racing, but I’m pretty sure the trick is acceleration - getting up to speed as quickly as possible. This car’s party piece is being able to run a sub 10 second 1/4 mile, which is wicked quick... you don’t need to hit 200mph to do that

Duh, thank you!

Is that address a reference to something I’m missing? Looks like there is a church or some houses, I’m not seeing much for dark alleys

Patrick got it right. I play drums along with other instruments although they mostly stay in my studio these days. Whenever I do need to move them or any other instruments or PA gear (or all of the above) my 2005 Outback XT does great and I paid $7k for it 2 years ago. Not into buying an aging turbo vehicle? I get it,…

The first thing I did to my Subaru was debadge it so there is nothing except a frame-less license plate on the back, as I’ve done to all my cars. That said last year I accidentally backed into something and scuffed my bumper, which also was hacked up with a dremel to fit my aftermarket exhaust. Now I’m torn because if…

Did I ever say it wouldn’t? I’d love to own an SZ, they are pretty special cars. I was just responding to the sentiment that my current DD is boring

It does weigh a ton... over 2 of them in fact

I think you nailed it. As much as I like to joke about how my old Outback XT already has 250hp and more clearance than this I realize Buick isn’t so much going after Subaru here as they are probably trying for the Volvo crowd and undercutting on price.

I live on the VT border in NY and drive an outback. I agree with your sentiment that ground clearance isn’t an issue for most buyers, but I use mine this time of year for getting to and from our sugar house on a rough washed out dirt trail. I nearly ripped the exhaust off back when I used to use an Impreza for the…

Yeah I really enjoy their show despite most of their cars being more random or different than outright performers... but that Cressida is a true beast

I’m 29 and have no problem calling this guy a kid, because he acted like one when dealt with a stressful situation. When I was 16 and definitely still a kid I had a ratty $200 bmw where the throttle stuck wide open (it had a drive cable which just so happened to be rusty). I managed to solve that myself by staying…

My 2002 GTI did the same thing, so it’s definitely not new tech

I always think that
