I hear a lot of anecdotal comments about head gaskets. But those are usually from enthusiasts who don't drive them gently.
Have a friend who has about a 4yo STI. She has had zero trouble with it, that I've heard. I'm pretty sure she doesn't drive it gently (at least not when her kids are not in the car) either.

That this thread wound up in the Trash Can/Politics and Religion is beyond me.

I was a bit surprised as well. I had to hold my nose before entering this sub-section to re-check the thread after I had posted in it yesterday. I suppose there's been political talk interspersed throughout its twelve page, seventeen year history.

Must be because we need fuel to run the country and politics are also involved in a country.

It's not because of Politics. It's Religion.

Dino squeezins, Texas Tea (as Lester and Earl said) is a major part of the world economy and a driving force in geopolitics. Everything, including the very air that we breathe has been politicized.

If it helps, everything we do in this world involves politics or religion in some way.

I bought a 5th gen Ford Ranger since I've moved to the country and needed a truck. It's turbocharged and marketed as best in class mileage but if I was shopping for replacing the wife's Honda it might be the new hybrid Maverick. If they'd only put the hybrid power in the AWD version.

Gosh February gas prices were bad enough, now we've got the 'Putin Price Hike.'

Highest prices in history! Soon the gas stations will have to add another digit to their signs.

No... just price/sell it by the litre (like it's done in the rest of the world). Then it'll seem like a bargain. (...until you realize there are 3.78 litres per US gallon,)
