(also sorta surprised but not that Matt's Script Archive is still alive) Slashdot is another example, though it's been updated significantly over the years. I kinda like the threaded format, it works really well for some kinds of discussions.

I like how 4chan is set up, though the previous lack of embedded quotes was a bit difficult for some.

Even in threaded mode, it's still a lot easier to follow and understand than Reddit The absolute worst thing about reddit (apart from the users) is when clicking a thread link, and it's an external link, it doesn't even open in a new tab or bring me to the thread itself. So I have to middle click everything and then clickon the comments to read the thread comments.

I don't post there because it's a pain in the rear end format, but it's a pretty valuable resource for a lot of things like fixing technical issues with things, sharing live streams (sometimes legit) of sports, and self-posted boobs.

I remember that episode, notably the Impreza bit. People just don't seem to understand that, by and large, for a very long time Subaru were "farmer's wife's car" as a stereotype.

Guess it depend on where you live. They were one of the most popular cars in 80s Massachusetts because of the on demand 4wd. My mom's old GL10 was such a leap over her Sapporo it wasn't funny.

1993: Fierce Ordinariness. I am wondering what we will say of ourselves in future generations. Less body roll all around, anyway maybe. ETA: I had a 90s Oldsmobuick Gutless Ciera 2000 Century Something. I bet it was a '93 (the only car I owned that I can't remember what year it was). Fiercely Ordinary.

Don't be ashamed. 90s GM is my favorite period in car making. I think of it like some people think of 60s muscle cars. Fuel injection, digital dash AND a bench seat/column shifter? Sign me up! MattD1zzl3 fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Mar 25, 2016 |

May could do that stuff on YouTube.
