I do not think that Subaru models outside of the BRZ or Solterra have Toyota parts.

It’s mind-blowing to me that a 3-year car is considered aging. Anecdote time: my parents bought a secondhand 93 Toyota Corolla that I inherited and drove until 2011. They continued…

I once read (or heard?) that the reason why Twitter has such outsize importance is because a lot of journalists use it. They’re on it a lot, follow a lot of people, use it to disco…
