If we’re killing off a car company, it should be a big one to make it worth it, so I arbitrarily choose Chevrolet. Now it’s the Big Two.

Options packages are always frustrating, like cable bundles, and I welcome their demise. Also, it’s a WRX, not a luxury cruiser (though the GT trim seems to be playing at it): consider the trim packages your options.

Welcome back and congrats!

Whilst I have issues with the imagined prospect of an over-the-air update accidentally bricking my car, this is such an obvious lobbying effort that it’s a little sad.

Car’s ok. Have a new-to-me exhaust hanging in my garage waiting for it to be warm enough that I want to get my car up on jackstands and wrestle with some mildly-corroded bolts. Otherwise, it’s running nicely and staying out of trouble (I say as I knock vigorously on every piece of wood in the vicinity).

That parses, though, with the quality of some of the roads here, on-road can be off-road.

I remember that auto-fail condition, and it definitely had a knock-on effect on my riding, even today.

Don’t argue with the proctor, even if you know they’re wrong.

Related to Adam’s point, you can either get the STi without the wing from the factory, or you can certainly find someone local to you who would like to trade their WRX trunk for yours for the wing.

I have yellow-tinted wing mirrors, so I don’t have to adjust anything, nor worry about electronics failing.

I adore Finnish Swearing Simulator so much and I will immediately pick up the sequel.

“Neat! You upgraded from that over-busy cluster to something much nicer and utilitarian! Wait, you mean the blue meanie is the ‘fancier’ one?”

Not gonna lie: I definitely thought the sleek, simple black instrument panel was the one he swapped in because the blue dash looks dated already.

I know it’s been covered before, elsewhere, and probably more coherently, but: if car companies are collecting enough data on me that they’re concerned for my safety if it’s accessible, then they’re collecting too much data.

So you agree: it doesn’t matter how far the roadster has travelled because it’s not travelling under its own power.

I’m well aware of reference frames, but I’m more impressed by the rockets that left space junk than the space junk, itself.

and if you take into account the movement of the Earth through space a 1919 Ford Model T has travelled ~750 Billion km due to the revolution of the solar system around the galactic centre, and the revolution of the Earth around the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth about its centre.

It still needs to be hosted, though, and if that lapses you lose it.

Similarly, any good knife trainer will tell you that if you try a knife disarm you are most likely going to get cut.

5 guys?
