I love how the 155hp forester sti gets 6 piston calipers to slow it down. That's fantastic!

While I'm all for the design, I'm not for the fact it's a subaru. Having owned a few subarus, I'm sure this one will be exactly like them and break in some extremely detrimental way that requires the cost of the vehicle to repair. 

Our car does that. Pretty great. The system as a whole works very well on the auto setting and doesn’t do that fan thing where it winds up and then winds down to sear you before a slow cook. 

I wouldn’t really use glass door as any kind of measure for larger companies.

There’s no need to be precise down to the calorie. 100 grams of raw meat I average out to 20g protein, and then depending on the meat I estimate fat. Chicken breast is always 4g fat per 100g raw, turkey breast is 3g, lean pork is 4, strip steak 9, ribeye 12, center cut bacon 17, filet mignon is 7. Most of these…

So there have been a few research papers I read recently that state that anyone that’s generally athletic (3 very active days per week, such as 3 days of weight lifting) should be anywhere between 120 to 160g of protein per day, regardless of gender or body weight. The research started from analyzing Olympic athletes…

I drove my wife’s crosstrek, with her in the passenger seat, two in the back, and enough bags for a ski trip weekend through the Colorado mountains. I can confirm that the engine/transmission for those conditions is beyond abysmal. The cvt whined incessantly at me as it constantly kept the engine at 4-5k rpm just…

This isn’t true. Electric motors generate lots of heat. Higher altitude means less air, less air means harder to dissipate heat and quicker to heat up localized air (less molecules to excite). Electric motors will overheat much more quickly at higher altitudes and start drawing tons more battery power, and that’s not…

Yes it does. I’ve heard from a few folks “who did it right” that it ended up costing them well into the teens. I believe recently an ft86 with an ls3 swap was around 17k out the door, vs the roots style blower option being 8k all in. There’s always the cheap way to doing things though...

Yeah, sport cup 2 tires would make a solid 2 to 3 second difference on their own. They’re not even legal in most street tire classes because certain iterations of that tire are basically a road legal r-comp.

I don’t think anyone can really argue the potency of the latest gti as a dual purpose car. I’ve owned the understeer king (the wrx) and while it was a great straight line car, it was numb and boring compared to the gti around a track. With just a few simple mods for cooling, power, and suspension (all basic bolt ons)…

Can your next article be about how leather is useless in cars? It’s too cold in winter, it burns you in summer, it stains easily, the perforated stuff gets absolutely disgusting with dead skin cells and other junk in it, it cracks any time you have a bolster, it’s really not comfortable compared to fabrics, and it…

Yeah, that's only as old as a high school kid... 

We spent 4 hrs in a subaru dealership listening to the cheasiest salesman in the world say “right on” about 50 times per hr, as well as his personal anecdote about selling a car to an “oriental lady” the week before who apparently scared him to defecated status before telling him she was having trouble seeing.…

Meanwhile in Europe, the manual is alive and well. My uncle over there drove an automatic one time, and after he accidentally used the brake as a clutch, he said he’d never drive one again.

You know, I’d be really curious to see how real world crashes are handled by all vehicles versus the simulated realistic crashes. It’s not an impossible test to design, but extremely difficult and expensive to get there. I’d imagine it would have to be primarily virtual crashes, but how does something like a Honda…

Forget reliable. How about safe? As cars grow heavier and everyone keeps buying SUVs, how safe is an older car with three decade old airbags and a ton of things wrong that haven't been maintained "because the car runs fine"? 

I’ve been learning the past few days that people who are celiacs don’t absorb micronutrients properly, and plant protein in particular has much harder to absorb micronutrients (like amino acid profiles). Based off of some of the research, I’d venture to say that celiacs shouldn’t be vegetarian without very very strict…

You are correct. It generally takes 20% more protein from plants to equate to animal based protein. Nothing wrong with that, but for athletes and active people who need 120 to 160 grams of protein per day, it can be a challenge to add another 20% on top of that without blowing your proportions out of balance with the…

“Turbo lag was a very real thing—I wouldn’t say there was no power below 3,000 RPM, but the car was definitely most alive—and feral—between 3,000 and 6,000 RPM.”
