Are they now? Well that’s disappointing.

Yeah, that software unlock thing was enough for me to never even test ride one of these. My vehicles don’t need phone applications.

Neutral: Why would I ever be loyal to something as crass as a brand? I bought a second Subaru after owning a ‘97 Legacy because I liked the WRX. I just sold it and bought something not Subaru because they don’t make anything I want any more. Easy.

2nd gear: if it gets us the A110 I welcome the crossovers.

Everyone I know with an airhead has made and used one of these at one point to balance the Bings (or, if you’re lucky, Dell’orto PHM38s), myself included.

It’s a little disappointing that you chose the one Subaru they’ve already redesigned as your example photo.

Those paragons of virtue and restraint? Never!

I have run my shin into a rattle-can-black tow ball before and I’m pretty certain I invented new curses never heard of before or since. It was a friend’s truck, too: he has since removed it when not in use.

There are percentage requirements based on the number of parking spaces in a lot.

There are going to be a lot of very valid pet hates in this comment section, and I likely agree with a number of them, but one I want to mention is people who leave the tow ball attached to their cars when they’re not towing anything drive me crazy. Thank you for leaving a small, immobile piece of steel hanging out…

I am here for your scathing -- and correct -- takes.

Maybe use the material from chainsaw chaps in order to jam things up, but that would only really work with something that rotates. 

A stainless steel version is also available if you scroll a bit further in the accessories.

Markey’s right. AM radio is low-tech in the most robust way, and extends to a lot of areas un- or under-served by mobile telephony, satellite coverage. It’s free at the point of use, just so long as you have an antenna and a radio. You can very easily build your own receiver. We also still use it worldwide. 3G cell…

I’m getting a lot of use from this today:

You’re absolutely right.

Honestly, I’m wondering if it was a failed fuel line or maybe -- and this is a wild conjecture -- something like a linseed-based paint. Linseed oil can spontaneously combust.

Every time I hear about that guy’s actions I can’t help but think about Philippe from Achewood.

Neutral: I got out on my bike and enjoyed some of the beautiful autumn weather here in Virginia. Sunday afternoon found the parkways fairly quiet, so I got to spend some time enjoying the ride without thinking too heavily over whether the 5000-lb monstrosity in the lane next to mine was going to decide they wanted to…

Oh my god you’re right: it would have been perfect.
