Is this actually happening? Not in the next couple weeks.. but I hope so. Many have suggested this swap would be more suited to a Subaru different from my Bugeye. I might be inclined to agree, but that aren’t many Subaru’s that excite me quite like the iconic GD. Some people think it’s ridiculous, but I have minimal interest in […]

NA Is Better – All Talk and No Action

That’s what I said, but my tire guy convinced me to give them […]

I don’t feel like ours are ever going to leave us stranded, but damn […]
