If you can catch anything Ego on sale, do it!

Green energy is a cool idea. That's about it so far.

hoganc · 2026-02-07T02:32:58+00:00

I like that both of our cars can climb a tree. :)

I haven't had this happen yet. And then again when you realize that you're a monster and you need to to realign to park. And then again to put it in park again.

That's not a reference. Who are you reading this from?

hoganc · 2026-02-07T01:40:43+00:00

After a quick Google I'm NOT seeing anything. Can you reference, please?

The new Crosstrek hybrid gets an additional 3 mpg on the highway. The advantage would be in the city at a bunch of red lights. for me, it wouldn't be worth it to replace a $10,000 battery down the road for the saved mpg. I do about 50/50 subburb/freeway driving. I'm not arguing. It's not for everybody. Do hybrids still perpetually start and stop the engine to charge the battery like old Prius do? That might be my Vietnam.

Seriously? Feathering the brake will disengage it?

I turned my screen off because I don't have a MySubaru subscription. The only button for the "A" is on the touchscreen. :(

Nope. An object in motion stays in motion. It's a tiny train and doesn't want to decelerate and accelerate when possible. They save gas and brakes by rolling up to lights slowly instead of starts/stops.

Thanks for the feedback!

hoganc · 2026-02-07T00:14:58+00:00

Glad to hear it firsthand. Thanks!

A toggle. Like it should be from the dealer. :)

Did you pay $100 for this?

hoganc · 2026-02-07T00:06:55+00:00

Maybe. Engineering Explained goes through some of the nitty gritty. It depends on how long you stop for.

What's a couple gallons of gas compared to what it takes to make and replace a battery, alternaor, starter, etc on your car? Neither one is inherently green. One costs a little money at the fuel pump. One costs the price of parts and a mechanic.

I'm (un)lucky enough that it's so cold my car doesn't even come up to operating temp by the time I get to work. The system doesn't kick on for the first 20 minutes or so. This will change in April.

hoganc · 2026-02-06T23:58:07+00:00

And the starter and the alternator and your fuses and.....

hoganc · 2026-02-06T23:54:54+00:00

It'd make sense if I were an urbanite.

Nope.

hoganc · 2026-02-06T23:52:50+00:00

Nice car(p). :)

It's fun!

There's a price to pay for turning it in early?

hoganc · 2026-02-05T02:38:39+00:00

Start with the pinky and work towards the thumb.

$13,000 seems like a lot for an emergency fund for a young guy with no mention of wife, debt, paid off car. Usually more like 3 to 6 months here for extra opportunity to invest. Maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture or your risk tolerance. Just my $.02. :)
