That front bumper is so much better than the BRZ

I’m an “only buy used” person. My wife and I have a small collection of Craiglist-caliber cars that we’ve fixed up into “slightly better than Craigslist caliber” cars. Our 2 daily drivers have a combined 340,000 miles.  I tell you this for context.

You’re absolutely right, he starts to talk about exactly that in the first clip before the interviewer cuts him off to flirt with him. It’s easy to dismiss him becuase most men would absolutely love that sort of attention, I mean, Amy Adams grabbing my pecs like that (in this scenario I have Henry Cavills pecs, not

I know that it’s easy to say he’s good looking, he gets paid quite well to be impossibly muscular, and what straight man wouldn’t enjoy that kind of attention from women, so what does he have to complain about. But I’ve read multiple interviews with him where his feelings about his body and the unhealthy things he

Everybody’s in here talking about CVTs but I’m looking at the roof rack static load rating - the new Bronco (the big boy, not the sport) is only rated at 110lb dynamic, 400lb static. Most rooftop tents already weigh more than 110lb., and once you get the tent, some bedding, and you and a friend, if you’re still under

That’s always a fun point when you tell people that the G-Wagen or the Unimog are rated for a 100%-incline.

So I’ve been looking into this, it’s not chain slip but it does have heat issues. The center coupler is lubricated in the same oil as the transmission. If either one gets hot it will thermal protect. 

If I recall, this was due specifically to dealer demand.

Good luck finding inventory on dealer lots, or trying to find one without markups even if you do. Subaru knows exactly what they’re doing.

This is where I point out that “40 percent grade” is about 22 degrees. About halve the mental picture they are trying to paint. Still 22 degrees is about where blue ski runs become black diamond so it's not nothing.  It's an oddly specific claim though.

He should smile more, and learn to take a joke

Should sell a lot. Actually has more ground clearance than my FX4 F-150. I like my wife's Outback, but the real thing that handcuffs it offroad is the CVT. Shame they couldn't change that. Don't get me wrong, the CVT isn't terrible doing daily driver duty, but it ain't exactly what I want when the pavement goes away.

He should smile more. He’d be more attractive if he smiled.

I like Henry Cavill, but I’m worried that he’s too emotional to handle a leadership position (especially at a certain time of the month).

Oh my god the batteries......

The torque those huge engines make is incredible - I’d bet if they cracked the throttle open too quickly it’d go sideways.

I read somewhere that the 17 biggest cargo ships in the world produces more pollution than every car in the planet combined

Yep! While researching this, I found that they’re good for 50 percent efficiency, which is pretty awesome.

We might criticise two stroke marine diesels, but they’re the most efficient non-hybridised engines around.
