Have you seen the ACR version on the street? It looks completely different than the standard with every thing exaggerated for speed and down force. I thought they were taking liberties calling it a picnic table size wing, but after seeing it you could sit six adults around it ( 3on each side). It just looked so big.

I don't believe I have. The structural bracing for the wing is insane, so I imagine it is not very subtle in person. Not that there is anything subtle about any Viper.

I curbed my allow something rotten this afternoon - ouch.

Whew....top motor is on the way out. Need to be careful with that....

Eh?

Eh?

Sometimes my roof doesn't want to come back up. They say it could be hydraulic lines or something, so I'm going to have to take it in.

Gotcha

If it's the lines then you have oil leaking somewhere in the car. Generally oil lines are either working or not. They are not intermittent. You may have a pump that is giving up the ghost. You may want to check the fuse or the relay. Jaguar XK owners always talk about the green shower. The lines blow pretty dramatically in the header on those. I speak from experience.

Thanks for the heads up.

Does anybody here have real world experience with the 4th generation Subaru Out back wagon?

I might have a decent deal on a 2011 model.

I have two main concerns. First, the cvt transmission. I know Nissan s is bad and Toyota s isn't far behind. How about Subarus? I have read about them, but most reviews I find are from Subaru connected companies.

Second, and here I can find no information, how is the driver comfort on long trips? I'm used to larger well appointed cars and I like comfort. No sports car feel.
On a 5-10 hour drive, do you have to fight the steering? Will my first stop after a trip be to the proctologist?

How about it?
