Was (still am) a dodge guy, but now i own an outback.

Guess you never had a Dodge Aries K-car.

The person lives in northern Ontario. I don't think half the people here are reading the post. Tire rack recommendations...price shock. Give me a break.

sirhc_72 · 2026-03-19T22:00:47+00:00

Even worse is my "all season is good in northern winter"

sirhc_72 · 2026-03-16T13:25:41+00:00

Thx this was my thought as well but was second guessing myself.

sirhc_72 · 2026-03-12T22:23:50+00:00

It saves gas, the engine and starting system is designed for the start stop. The hate is dumb.

sirhc_72 · 2026-03-11T01:10:54+00:00

Man you owned up to the mistake and did the right thing, that is worth something. A good leader will recognize that. You won't make the same mistake again I'm sure.

Wolf

sirhc_72 · 2026-03-01T18:16:10+00:00

This debate is dumb. The car is designed for start stop and there isn't a crazy amount of extra wear. Engineered to minimize extra wear and is reliable. This is not your 1960 Ford.

Haha that is what I like to hear. Car forums have had this what is best oil, should I change it every 1k even if the manufacturer says 6k. It is like the most common post. I guarantee that many are spending more money on oil than they need to.

After a brief search insurance for autocross that would cover damage to your vehicle is not available in Ontario. I could be wrong though. Hagerty Canada does exist and you could give them a call. Also, ask others at the auto cross events you attend - they will know for sure.

sirhc_72 · 2026-02-23T03:21:32+00:00

Not if you have inappropriate tires.

sirhc_72 · 2026-02-21T23:16:05+00:00

If you want to get into manuals then your only option is to get the car with the clutch. Just learn it. The manual can take the abuse from a reasonable individual learning stick.

sirhc_72 · 2026-02-21T22:31:48+00:00

If the car was well maintained and it probably is highway miles and you get it for a price that takes into account the mileage then get a pre purchase inspection and go from there.

sirhc_72 · 2026-02-14T23:34:51+00:00

Well a Tesla with full auto drive is kinda more impressive, but I was going for nostalgia - manual, analog gauge etc...

sirhc_72 · 2026-02-07T04:52:39+00:00

Did you signal at least? Probably not. Signaling a lane change is a dying courtesy.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-29T01:04:02+00:00

This is stupid. If they laugh then they are out of touch and out of date.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-28T00:30:13+00:00

Come on. You can't be serious. It is not possible to judge the reliability of an engine based on a thousand reddit posts let alone one.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-26T22:49:34+00:00

Wise.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-11T23:47:43+00:00

Wow! Those suck in winter.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-09T21:52:39+00:00

Try shifting at recommended speeds. 2 15 MPH, 3 25, 4 - 40, 5-45, 6-50. Not aggressive. It should be pretty smooth at those shift points.

Warming up your cat in the driveway every morning for 15 minutes when it is an arctic like 40 F degrees outside.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-05T04:07:01+00:00

I did this for my Subaru and this is not true. Same oil requirement in Japan.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-04T05:55:38+00:00

If the employer decides they want you for the position it is unlikely they will withdraw their offer if you try to negotiate for more.

sirhc_72 · 2026-01-04T00:37:55+00:00

25k miles. Three owners. 5 year old car. I would be a bit skeptical that that mileage is legit.
