After racing for 54 minutes in light air, we were separated by 1 second.

Thats a lot of badges. Subaru likes badges. We don’t need no stinking badges.

Sort of. He grew up in NYC but his family summered at Sunapee. At age 22 he founded Aerosmith in Boston with a bunch of Boston area musicians and one NH local, guitarist Joe Perry. His house is well known. Everyone who claims to be a local claims to know him. Our place was owned by a...

We’ve owned an ebike since around 2005, when we added three motorcycle batteries and a hub motor to a Giant mountain bike. When the batteries failed, we were able to get a LiFe replacement, which was half the weight and several times the charge life. We lived with a huge hill between us and the...

If you want to learn why not to eat store ice cream, leave some of it in a bowl to melt…..

One of Boston Fire Department boats “Father Dan” new in 2016. 32 feet, two 300hp outboards and a six cylinder under the deck for the pumps.

You left out the 2022 and 2023 Tundra Engine replacements….

Well, that’s compelling! Subaru has broken the Mount Washington hillclimb record four times, now more than a full minute faster than the last non-Subaru record holder. This video is not sped up.

Not common in New England. There are Condominium Associations.

Remember when a “half gallon” of ice cream was a half gallon?

The hood is SMC - Sheet Molding Compound. It is a mixture of resin and long glass fibers. Charges are placed in the mold, and the heated mold is clamped. The edges are trimmed after molding. The adhesion failures can occur from mold release agents, or (more commonly) poor adhesion of the...

Mr. Subaru suggests Subaru specified no fluid change and extended warranty to 100,000 miles so they could get back the transmissions and analyze the failures. We still haven’t purchased a CVT vehicle (other than a Prius V) so haven’t crossed that bridge. We replaced a Subaru 5EAT a while back...

Look up Michael Proctor and the Karen Read case. He’s been fired, looks like the sergeant supervising him is next.

The Luddites started smashing machines in 1811. The Boston Manufacturing Company was founded 1814 and made most of that English technology obsolete - while they were still fighting over it. Worked on my first 3D printer in 1989…..Now they’re everywhere. We just have to pay attention!

On 9/12/2001, walked out of my house in Boston to hear two low bypass aircraft overhead. Knew the sound from military service. Two F-15’s were flying CAP over Boston. Nothing else in the sky until a few planes came in Sunday 9/16.

When I first walked in they told me about the promo, told me the qualifying score. I checked my credit rating with USAA bank as I was thinking about financing with them. I’m sure lots of people here have additional tales of the “Finance Guy.” This wasn’t remotely my worst dealer experience...
