Thanks / Merci ! Ontario offers French licence plates - and they currently start with F - this is one of those !

Some people on the forums say the later model years don’t have the trans issues of the initial years. I want to believe this is true 🤞

owner said what isn’t talked about enough about the SVX is how good the factory stereo is.

I drove this 1997 SVX last weekend.

It was amazing to be in the presence of this oddball heckblende-y Subaru.

Driving didn’t feel as amazing but I also stayed within posted speed limits so maybe the flat-6 engine is capable of more than I experienced.

I whole-heartedly disagree with the City of Ottawa administration's decision to mandate a full return to the office for City staff on Jan. 1. I wasn't supportive when federal public services were forced back into the office, and I certainly don't support it now.

Doug spoke about this car in his latest video so maybe that helped?

Thanks for sharing - This is the first time I’m hearing him speak which is surprising since I have read so much about him over the years.

The remarkable campaign was upended by a backlash against U.S. President Donald Trump, which sparked a stunning liberal resurgence.

Also, there’s a Houston Chronicle review that agrees with my assessment 🤣

I found an email I sent someone after and the show was actually alright and not a total train wreck? Also, it’s funny I didn’t know who Jeff Ross was.

14 years ago today, I paid $$ to watch Charlie Sheen - at the height of his crazy unfiltered meltdown.

I went alone because back then I had no persuasion skills which is not to say I have any now 🤷‍♂️

once the tariff-running smuggling really gets underway, we are going to see advances in stealth technology that were unimaginable to cold war defense contractors
