So I’m thinking about making bad decisions and I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with these. I know very little about this era Volvo.

I now have over 5,000 miles on our new Ascent, and I have really enjoyed how powerful and smooth the engine is. For a larger vehicle it has some get up and go. So as I drove by a Crosstrek I decided it doesn’t need the WRX engine, instead it needs the Ascent engine. And I still think the Ascent engine will be the…

We have snow in November for the first time in quite a while. I just have the itch to go snowmobiling so bad. I’m looking at Cooke City, MT web cams and dreaming of going out there this year. Unfortunately with two kids in daycare I can’t afford to go this year. Boo.

Anybody do any home brewing? I just finished a batch of hard cider and I don’t think I screwed it up and it was pretty fun as well. I will definitely be doing this again soon and want to hear any suggestions or tips.

Well we did it. My wife wanted to upgrade to a 3 row crossover and since she loved her 16' Forester she wanted to stay with the Subaru name plate. So she followed along with announcements on the Ascent. As soon as she could we pre-ordered one that we could back out on if we didn’t like it. We also test drove a…

Well the local Subaru dealer got a preproduction model of the 2019 Subaru Ascent yesterday. So I went to check it out. My wife really likes her Forester but we are running out of room with it now that we have 2 children and a dog that we take everywhere. This was in the Abyss Blue Pearl that we like and was the top…

Question for Svend or any other details fanatic oppo’s. How do you get rid of exhaust stains on a white car? See above picture.

I am doing some spring cleaning and I have to decided to purge my magazine collection. I have pretty much all the Hot Rods from late 2009 to fall 2016. Most are in great condition. Some have torn or missing front covers. All I ask is you pay shipping. If no one wants them I will be recycling them.

I’ve had one heck of a past 24 hours. Started off with going and buying a new to me 2013 Polaris Pro RMK 800. I figured I’d I was going to go to the Montana next week I better have a sled I would enjoy. I did that yesterday right after work. Then I woke up with the flu at 2:30 am this morning. All morning and day I…

Due to unexpected slippery and snowy conditions I had an accident in my WRX this morning. With the exception of hitting a deer a few years ago this is the first accident I have had with it. While on my way to work at 4:30 a.m. I took a turn and spun the WRX into a tree at about 15 mph. The damage report is fender,…

My 2006 WRX is currently my daily driver and since I finally made the transition from shift work to days I now have to pick up my nearly 2 year old boy from daycare. With the rear facing carseats it is nearly impossible to get him buckled up, the opening between the back of the door and the carseats is barely large…

Well, after five years of careful planning, paying off loans and generally being a responsible adult I finally bought a pickup.

The reason I ask is because the general consensus is that they aren’t. Mine must be the exception then. I have had virtually no problems with either of them, maybe I’m just lucky.

While I was pondering how to justify a 13 hour drive to pick up With Great Powers 5.0 R.Spec I had a light bulb go off in my head.
