[s-cars] WAS gas prices, now racist subaru's

[Taka Mizutani]

Calvin-
My Subaru's windows don't have any leaking or wind noise issues even at 
130+.

You can't compare a '05 Subaru to a '72 Firebird. :rolleyes:

I guess considering that two of our cars have manual seats, I don't really 
understand the
need for memory seats. The only time I really like having seat memory is 
when there are
a million adjustments for the seat- the D3 chassis A8 has 22 different 
adjustments to the
seat, mirrors and steering column- that is very nice to get set correctly 
and be able to repeat
without trial-and-error. That said, having 10 different adjustments just for 
the seat can make
the seat really fit nearly perfectly.
