    You pull up to the drive-in stall, and out she’ll come.

    The light pollution caused by satellites is becoming a growing problem for astronomers, as thousands are launched every year. Satellites are becoming cheaper and easier to launch, with satellite light pollution remaining unregulated. This photo shows their impact, with 85 minutes of satellite...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Nope. No wing and it wasn't much louder than stock. Favorite ticket of all time: 29 in a 25 in Waitsfield, Vermont in the WRX.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    And the fucking staties LOVED to pull me over in the WRX... The Golf R doesn't call that sort of attention to them.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That was my other car-- BETTER in the snow than just about any other car of it's size. Another fun as hell car. BUT-- unlike the VW Golf R, the car comes with just too much cheap, shitty crap that needs to be replaced (or modified) for it to be at the level of the Golf. Cheap as shit interior...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The heated steering wheel thing is a bit of a mystery to me too-- it comes on (but not full force as if you put it on manually). I have had some of the driver assist functions altered with an ECU (APR) tune on both. I am not a fan of the "car decides for itself" how close you can get to...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've taken the older R through white-out, mountainous terrain. It's damn good with snows, that is for sure. The summer Pilots that it comes with are super fun, but when you have to travel and conditions are extreme, I go with the snows. If you don't have to, then all-seasons are a reasonable and...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Besides-- even though it is kind of stupid, the VW voice interface is actually great. It's too stupid now to try and find the defrost "button" or set the temperature for the interior (especially at night; engineering geniuses at VW give you overhead lights that you can never shut off but NO...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It is just about the most fun-driving car at it's price point. I love them both, but the black one is getting on in miles (120K+) and needs a few things. I drive a ton. I wish the winter wheel set fit both of them, but it doesn't. 17" wheels don't clear the calibers in the 2023, so I bought a...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Plus I added this recently: It's pretty damn fun too... I can use launch mode because this one is not a 6sp.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I have had 2 of them. I have the 2023 (and the side mirrors don't retract like that). It is the most fun, greatest car I have ever owned. You'll love it. Good choice. My only beef with it was the is the deletion of almost all buttons and knobs in favor of an extensive touch screen interface...

    Even Wall Street agrees: (but fails to mention the healthcare associated risk with their 18 year old hotties breaking hips in December, January and February): It's important to take Sonic's report with a grain of salt. Sonic is a drive-thru chain, after all, and its sales are more weather...

    Factor in that I can fill 1/3 of the cup with one concoction and 2/3 of the cup with 2 others... The slope approaches infinite.

    Random fast food stuff: https://www.seriouseats.com/soda-we-try-all-100-flavors-from-the-coke-freestyle-machine I actually think the number of combinations possible approaches infinity (because you can mix them in an unlimited number of ways)... I see them at Five Guys But McDonalds is...
