    See, I'm reasonable AF and I have a soft spot for subies. Killer in the snow too. @Comatose has one of these.

    Honestly, I'd buy a Crosstrek in a hot second for a work/town car. Solid cars and oddly fun to drive, esp in the manual.

    But I'm looking at something a little more...German.

    If you're looking at new, the new Corolla Hatchback (e210) is pretty sweet and looks really good. But be warned, it is an ecobox they gave a 6spd for shiggles. Its sole design purpose was to get you 41mpg all day long.

    They are solid cars. Mine had the CVT which was terrible. Manual trans are available in the "Premium" trims, but I wanted the auto climate control which forces you into the Limited trim. The 15-16's have better sound deadening and and don't rattle as much. I test drove a 14 and it was pretty janky, they fixed a lot of that in 2015 which is what mine was.

    Also, Crosstreks have the oil filter inverted on top of the engine...throw on a Fumoto and it's legit the easiest oil change ever.

    I have no qualms with the CVT, both in my 2015 Legacy and my wife 2016 impreza. It just takes a little getting used to, but because it has infinite "gears", it helps the car seem more peppy than it is.

    Its a 6 cylinder 6 speed. Even better! Best part is you can disconnect two spark plugs and put a 5 speed shift knob on and it will be exactly what you want.

    These are bad ass vids. I like when you can see the heat signatures of body parts fly off and insides come out.

    I believe in biblical justice, not incarceration, except for nonviolent crimes. I'm not evil at heart but I could definitely send it, pull the switch, whatever it takes, and not bat an eye for those that deserve it.

    The other day I was just trolling Randall. Someone needs to mess with him so it might as well be the one that loves and respects him the most.

    I'll second the Audi for a DD. Why? Because I love the VAG. And if that's the S3, I can confirm that the car is a freaking blast. My friend had one and it made me want one.

    Other than that, I like blowing people up and watching in IR vision. I mean, who doesn't?

    The 06 front end was the best front end...fuck the bug eye (whatever that shit was).

    This needs to be a sticker on my truck.

    Got my locker actuator installed now that the little guards showed up. I’ll print some labels or something so I have a visual cue as well. Everyday driving won’t be a concern with bumping it because the line won’t have any pressure to it.
