'Motors'

All Subarus are gay aunt Subarus.

Subaru just doesn’t want to advertise that.

Is that a reference to something? Just curious.

Only to the oooohsotrue silly stereotype.

Ever been to New Hampshire?

Nope. Not aware of this stereotype. I am now informed.

It’s the Fail - but the 5 inches is enough if you own a super yacht implication is solid. Also - nice video of it going under the bridge.

A lot of the large cruise ships are built at the Meyer shipyard in Papenburg - which is 36 km inland. Getting them to sea is quite an operation.

My not-gay aunt had no idea this stereotype existed when she bought a Forester. She clearly didn’t care because her replacement car is another Forester. :slightly_smiling_face:

They make vans and buses now too.

I’ve always thought that a powered trailer to assist in towing was a good idea and it seems that Airstream is heading in that direction.

Maybe solves that customer question: “I want an Airstream trailer but will I have to also buy a big ass truck to tow it?”

Might be funny to see a Mini towing one some day.

Dual mode train or bus, I don’t know.

I’m not sure about “first” here. There have been modified pickup trucks that have mechanized train wheels that can drive regularly or on train tracks for at least decades. I could buy that it’s the first dual-mode road&train public transit.

Thanks! I’ve seen them on tracks out West for a long time, but I didn’t know the concept went back that far.

I had been under the impression that they’ve been operating for a while now. This article is from 2008:

Edit: per the video they started development back in 2002. So it may be the first for public transit, it’s just not super new. Like many public works projects I guess it was a long time in development, especially since the first company stopped work on it and it got taken over by another group.
