Most insurance companies do care. Check any auto forum and you’ll find posts from people who have lost their coverage due to track usage.

Subaru doesn’t plainly list their definition of racing and competition, but those definitions definitely exist and have to be documented somewhere.

As far as the warranty is concerned it is of no consequence where the spirited driving takes place.Sure, she’s being responsible by driving on a track and not on public streets, but that has nothing to do with whether her car’s warranty should be void or not. From the manufacturer’s standpoint, this car is being used…

Regardless of the source of fuel pump failure, the pictures of the car in use on track for an event is evidence enough to flat out void the warranty and her insurance unless her insurer knows about the track days.

You’re playing the semantics game assuming a race or competition is defined by Subaru as an event in which an individual can “win”. I guarantee Subaru’s legal department has defined these terms vaguely enough to include any track usage of a vehicle in which the car will be under heavier stress than taking a pace lap…

Ding ding ding! That’s the million dollar question. Can’t have your cake and eat it too. If she’s modified her car for performance and has it on a track for an event, she’s putting more stress on the components than the manufacturer expects from reasonable daily driving. Were she realistic, she’d admit she’s…

Spot on. The dealer has to protect themselves from wear outside of normal driving conditions. Insurance companies do the same and will either jack up your rates or nullify your policy if you are found to be tracking a car without notifying them (which is why you would not publicize such a fact on social media or…

The point you’re trying to make is a feeble attempt at best to define “racing” as a timed event that conveniently excludes track days even though they clearly put more stress on the vehicle’s components than day to day driving. I guarantee that Subaru’s legal department’s formal definition of “racing” would be vague…

Oh that’s a crock. You’re splitting hairs. She was clearly participating in an event where the car would have been exerted to heavier stresses among many of its components in comparison to daily driving. This is what the legal mumbo jumbo refers to when stating that “racing” is not covered. It doesn’t mean that so…

ugh, what a disgusting pun. Have a star :).

Not that it compares in performance, but I feel as though the 500 Abarth is the modern day offering closest to the Type R (save the LSD). Yeah, the Abarth has a turbo so its engine is obviously less powerful in comparison, but it’s got that same bounciness, desire to rev high, and many complain of the cheap interior.…

I would like permission to make use of your perfect analogy please. Have a star.

We let them play. We just don’t appreciate people driving their dangerously altered shitboxes on public roads where they become a hazard to the public. By all means, destroy your car’s suspension geometry and slam it to the ground with wheels that are at an obscene camber if that’s what you like. Just don’t expect…

Why not another Abarth? It hits all your wants and don’t wants and can satisfy your price range as well. Hard to beat the scorpion’s sting!

It’s pretty messed up to assume that a critical drug’s efficacy is a one-dose-fits-all model rather than expecting your weight to contribute to your own dosage.

Except that convenient password manager becomes the consolidated point of failure for all accounts linked to it. Once that password manager gets compromised, all bets are off. Not my idea of security.

And what, pray tell, do you suggest airlines do? Abolish overbooking? This will lead to empty seats from all the no-shows and thus wasted fuel and resources when more people could have used those seats that were bought. Overbooking ensures that flights are packed as often as possible. Yeah, the downside is that…

It’s his problem inconveniencing others because he got his face smashed in for being a self-absorbed idiot. If he liked being manhandled, then by all means...

How were any of the mentioned passengers being taken advantage of?

Being an adult is having the cognitive capacity to understand that the world does not revolve around you. Dao’s actions scream “I don’t want to be inconvenienced. Instead, I’ll throw a tantrum and inconvenience everyone else on this flight and make a scene”.
