They haven't changed much. Without looking a edition number or date you probably wouldn't know a new one form a 20 year old one.

I'm not sure. I just keep it on my desk for Ultra. I usually just use the online catalog.

Thanks. Just at a trade show doing trade show things. BS'ing with some longtime customers. Dealing with some PITA's. Meeting some new vendors.

renders indicate something larger

i'd be a little surprised for subaru to downsize the impreza to fit in the corolla segment. lots of lineage in the impreza name, there'd be entire facebook groups up in arms, and the headline of every best car article for a while...

Sorry, I'm stuck back in the 70s.

Anyone else remember this girl from around the drag strips?

Who Was Jungle Pam And What’s Her Story?

"Over the course of history, there have been certain names and faces that have stood out from the crowd and really showed the world what they had to offer. This has been the case in various different fields, such as acting, singing, politics, and much more. However, there’s no doubt about the fact that the car world has also seen some incredibly names grace the industry with their presence. Drivers are, first and foremost, the big players in the car game, but that doesn’t mean that they have all been behind the wheel… If you cast your mind back to the 1970s and the world of funny car drag racing, you might remember a man by the name of Jim Liberman. This driver was given the nickname of “Jungle Jim” over the course of his career, but it’s fair to say that this jungle man wasn’t ever too far away from his “Jungle Pam.” This woman took the world by storm during this decade, and it seemed as though everyone knew her name."

Me watching TV with the boss lady*


Sees a GR Corolla commercial* Proceed to do a chef's kiss to the TV*


Wife says "Do you like that car too, I see its a hatchback, so it is roomier than the BRZ?'


Me "Yes, I really want to get it, but I won't be able to"


Wife: "If you can, get it, anything that is more comfortable and roomier than the BRZ is fine by me".

Hold up, what? I have not heard of this. I though Subaru wanted to move away from sporty cars, aside from the BRZ.

This woman was the source of sextual awakening of many a pubescent boy in the mid 70s even those that had no idea what her name was.

First I've heard of the brz being uncomfortable. Except the back seat or people too wide for the seats. But I guess people measure "roomier" differently. I have never been in a comfy bmw... Seats too wide. So I guess there's a range. Nevermind then, I seem to just be babbling.
