T-Dub Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Can't help but notice they haven't sent him to IR yet. I thought that was a given considering the injury. Maybe it was a relatively clean dislocation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to assume that not sending him to IR Monday means they think he could be back by the end of the season, or at least are still evaluating the possibility. Sounds crazy for as bad as it looked, everything I can find on a dislocation talks about 3-4 months rehab and that's without any actual breakage. Is there some kind of roster juggling shenanigans at play or what? I would be surprised if Eifert plays NFL ball again period, but this season?

Funny side note, at least to me, in England, some pronounce Suburu with each U short instead of long. Might help Bung if he gets any british customers.

thezerawkid Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I just can’t find any report or article supporting the notion that the Subaru has a low cost of ownership. They aren’t historically good on gas and aren’t comparatively inexpensive to have work performed. All the other boxes you ticked, I can’t argue. But that one I think is a dubious claim. The stats used to support it were likely cherry picked to within an inch of the claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a guy that has a killer Baja that comes in every now and again and all the service guys want to buy it from him. Manual 5-speed, super clean, 140k miles...it's pretty effing sweet. 18 minutes ago, thezerawkid said: I just can’t find any report or article supporting the notion that the Subaru has a low cost of ownership.

The stats used to support it were likely cherry picked to within an inch of the claim. I'd have to do some digging. We have some awards from KBB and Consumer Reports at work for 2015, 16 and 17 stating "lowest cost of ownership" at the dealership (they're literally like trophies). That's my only cite for now, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats used to support it were likely cherry picked to within an inch of the claim. You also have to factor in resale value - The Subaru's hold their value very well. They're safe and built well. They're basically what Volvo's were in 1982. As Dudley Moore famously said "They're boxy, but they're good." The safety factor often results in lower insurance premiums. 2017 awards: https://www.kbb.com/new-cars/5-year-cost-to-own-awards/best-brand-2017/ Consumer reports for the Crosstrek: Ownership costs in first five years: $34,200 Cost per mile: $0.55 (A Prius was $0.49 per mile) Depreciation: $15,250 Fuel costs: $6,500 Insurance: $4,500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|Bunghole| Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 The best looking Forester out there right now is the 2019 Sport model. It's got sweet orange accents and black wheels and looks awesome. Wish they'd kept the turbocharged motor from the XT to put in it though, because as it is its just an appearance package.

That WOULD be a typical Subaru corner to cut or idiosyncrasy that you'd have to get used to. As it is, no hybrids for now. Subies are all P-ZEV cars though, and are not only made by an environmentally friendly company (zero landfill Lafeyette IN plant, etc) but the resale value (ie, your money) is very high. And so am I.
