That is fair, I got mine from canadian tire for $150 on sale. It even includes the foam cannon attachment which makes me think the 1600 model is designed for people to clean cars.

I'm impressed with it so far, it's by far the smallest unit I've seen.

Walking through Costco my wife starts yelling "COME HERE AND SEE THIS".
No idea why but she is in the automotive department but she points at the pressure washers. She says "that looks just like my car you need to buy it!"
It does indeed look just like her car and we bought it. If it had been my idea it would have been "What do you need THAT for it is too much money"

That thing got a Boxer?

If only all of your purchases could be so easy! costco is great to since they'll basically take anything back when it breaks.

It's hard to scale but this is the one I got.

It's a combination of 65 MPH speed limit (actually there are people going straight 75 and 55 as they come and go, no one can actually go 65), left and right hand exits and on ramps (in equal measure), and a weird highway just off from it and the airport exit too. I had some truck look right in his rear view mirror at me, and switch lanes, no blinker, with no one in the left lane (he just did it to be a ****) as I was trying to pass (since he was in the left lane hogging it). I had to get heavy on the brakes with a another ****head in a truck right on my ass. This place has the worst drivers in the US and the worst roads. Designed by retarded monkeys with crayons.

Did not crash.

Don't mind the truck D***cks they are the same here and everywhere I imagine. I was on the highway myself this morning and the same ish thing happened to me.

Was in the left lane. Went to merge into the middle lane nice and easy with signals and the truck that was going to be behind me sees and instantly speeds up to close the gap (normal behavior around here if u have a small car and try to merge in front of a big car) while another pick up in the right-most lane merges into the spot I was going in without signals or warning.

Always assuming the worst from pick up trucks, Evasive maneuvers and a quick downshift helped me not crash. I would have been done for had either of those beasts hit me. Pick ups should require an IQ test to purchase.

Dude, that's exactly what happened to me. I accelerated to pass the first truck and when I got in front, the other just moved over for no reason. When that douche looked in his rear view right at me, I had a feeling he was going to move over and be a ****, so I started slowing early, thankfully.

When he did, a lane opened to the right and I blew them both off. The one in back of me tried to keep up but he was an asshole AND slow too.

I feel your pain it's just so obvious when they do it on purpose. Must be nice having the extra power thp. Along with being able to hold a slide without multiple clutch kicks... This is why I want FI.

Cheers mate.

It's to disable all traction control, but thinking about it now, pedal dance should do the same thing. Just holding down the track button isn't enough, I've gotten the traction control to kick in in track mode. Haven't messed with pedal dance yet, should've tried in the winter.

That's a dumb idea ...... that would destroy the vehicle industry ......

In case you need it, they have a lawn mower and a generator too. I've seen both in Tool surplus stores. I almost bought the lawnmower but it has horrible reviews. Apparently most of them came from Costco where they had so many returns they stopped selling them.

Subaru has subsequently gotten out of the whole small engine business.

Well the generator doesn't look like her car so it is out of the question even if I needed it.
