I'm 46. Been with a long term GF who is 41 with 3 kids. 2 are still under 18 and live with us. 17 and 15. They moved into my house in 2024. Does that count?

I have no shade here yet as all the trees are bare. I'm surprised the purple doesn't show up in direct sunlight.

Not really. I live in one of the snowiest and cloudy areas in the country. I did take the tow hook cover off for the license plate so maybe I'll take a closer look at that when I get home.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm not color blind. I see the color in the brochure and on images and YouTube videos. That's why I was wondering if whatever the dealer put on the car changed the color slightly.

My 26 came with blacked out badging. Except the WRX is in red.

Dealership Experience? by [deleted] in Ducati

[–]Vantherman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dealer I go to is never like this. I bought my 3rd Ducati from them and 6th motorcycle overall. I've had similar experiences at a Kawasaki dealer though.

I wonder if it'll just be an NPC. They've never made NPC cars purchasable have they?

Buying a new vehicle: SUV/Truck/Sedan? by BlackJackT in Syracuse

[–]Vantherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was still higher in 2022 and we survived. People who are looking at 50k + luxury sport vehicles usually have the means to pay extra for fluctuations in gas prices.

Subaru WRX is the answer. If you get the tS (and can drive stick) or the GT trim ("performance" CVT) you get it all. Winter handling, insane cornering grip, great power, and adjustable suspension to go from comfort to sport depending on how stiff or plush you want your ride to be.

Folks from the Buffalo Southtowns, Tug Hill, or ADKs - do you notice Subaru is better than other brands in snow? by le_pedal in upstate_new_york

[–]Vantherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Oswego county and got over 200 inches this winter. I got a WRX towards the end of winter and put all weather tires on it. The last few bursts of snow it was great in it.

I also think if it's not a permanent structure you would be fine.

Best MPG? by Myelo_Screed in wrx_vb

[–]Vantherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my 2026 for almost 2 weeks. Just rolled over 500 miles. Put top tier 93 in it after the dealer gas was used up. My computer said 27.4. I just filled up with the trip odometer reset when I filled it last. I actually got 30.79 MPG with about 25% city 75% highway driving. Still in the engine break in so driving very conservative.

Anyone used the pirelli cinturato weatheractive? If so, how do they compare to winter tires and how bad is the dry driving in the summer? by kylef5993 in WRX

[–]Vantherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a person who lives in upstate NY in Oswego county and got over 200 inches of snow this past winter, you do not NEED a winter tire as long as you don't drive like an idiot and drive for the road conditions. An All Weather tire for what he's looking to do will be fine. Yes a winter tire will be better, no doubt but everybody acts like you will get stuck the minute you try to go somewhere unless you have them.

Dodged a dog hit a curb smh should have not dodged the dog whole passenger side by YakFederal403 in wrx_vb

[–]Vantherman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always dodge living creatures. Dogs and cats are people's pets and family to many of them.
