The SVX now has the winter tires + factory wheels!
The wheels are uni-directional and it’s easy to accidentally put them on the wrong side.
Case in point: the SVX at the top of the SVX Wikipedia page has the rear wheel on wrong.

update: I bought the SVX. 🫨
I drove this 1997 SVX last weekend.
It was amazing to be in the presence of this oddball heckblende-y Subaru.
Driving didn’t feel as amazing but I also stayed within posted speed limits so maybe the flat-6 engine is capable of more than I experienced.

I whole-heartedly disagree with the City of Ottawa administration's decision to mandate a full return to the office for City staff on Jan. 1. I wasn't supportive when federal public services were forced back into the office, and I certainly don't support it now.

Canada’s conservative leader Pierre Poilievre loses his own seat in election collapse
The remarkable campaign was upended by a backlash against U.S. President Donald Trump, which sparked a stunning liberal resurgence.

14 years ago today, I paid $$ to watch Charlie Sheen - at the height of his crazy unfiltered meltdown.
I went alone because back then I had no persuasion skills which is not to say I have any now 🤷♂️

the canadian international autoshow didn’t have as many older attainable cars on display relative to previous years, so … it felt odd to walk out not feeling the urge to make irrational, ill-advised financial decisions.
