This is why people buy replacement cost insurance. Can ICBC void it if they prove that it was the driver's fault?

The dealer also warned me about the dccd. Don't keep it set to locked because if someone switches it from auto to manual you'll lose control?

His STi crashed just 10 minutes after he got the car!

What a waste

Once again, this will make our Subaru community looks bad

This picture looks like it's hiding, and about to pounce on the two men with their backs turned.

I played with that thing for a good 20 minutes like it was a secret "fast" switch, and never had any problems whatsoever, but in full rear I did manage to chrip the tires into second.

So this has turned into a parting out thread?
Not that that would be necessarily a bad thing.

It did go off. You can kind of see the white bag through the rear window in the first picture.
