  • You talking about the old Italian tune-up? I’m all about it. I drive a WRX, and the majority of my trips are with my kids to and from where we walk to school. Tiny trips. So I feel inclined to really get on her when I have my occasional trips elsewhere. It’d be wrong not to.

    It’s also a manual, and I know it wasn’t you (or maybe it was), but I don’t drive manual because it’s the best performance option. I know that flappy paddle gearbox, to steal a line from Clarkson, is a faster, more accurate shift than I ever could do, but it’s just fun driving stick. I just feel more connected to the road driving stick.

    I got this car new in October '24, and it’s my goal to keep it forever, because I’m not sure how long for the world stick is in general. Or ICE engines. And that’s okay, it’ll be a relic.


  • It’s funny, because things I’ve watched recently have been pronouncing it YOUR-uh-nus, versus your-A-nus. Dunno when we made the change, but 25-30 years ago, it was butthole.

    But jokes aside, I want to see something like the Parker Solar Probe, but out. Fastest thing ever created, by a large margin, and second place is the goddamn manhole cover. I’m assuming the science can’t exactly slingshot something straight out like that, wave to Voyager Uno and Voyager Dos, and see what’s happening.

    I’m no scientist though, but let’s go.

    Yeah, “car key” is just the fob thing for the push start and this engraved metal store that says “We Love You” in my daugthter’s handwriting, which is the only reason it’s on there. I can’t stand big kets and my wife is the most egregious offender.

    I recently just discovered that Subaru lets you do some kind of code thing with the button that opens the trunk, so you can just leave your key in the car if you go for a run or hiking or something.

    I never lock my house, but there’s also generally someone home or I’m only out for a couple minutes.
