Unless you go to the track a lot I can't see there being much need for the wing. You just aren't going to be going that fast on public roads, and, even when you are you are going to be going in more or less a straight line. The brilliance of the WRXs isn't on highways, its on technical roads.

I've made a lot of stupid purchases in my life, but the WRX isn't one of them. I love it. I just passed 6k miles in it a week ago. I have the CVT and I don't have any regrets about that. Driving with the paddle shifters on a technical road is loads of fun. Killing the traction control is also a blast, the WRX has tons of grip. For me it fit at just the right point on the fun car vs. daily driver spectrum while still being within my roughly 30k budget. I have had no regrets about it at all. It also doesn't stand out that much in a crowd, which for me is a positive. The STI would certainly be more fun than the WRX but at the expense of being a worse as a daily. The GTI to me was the opposite of the STI, slightly less fun than the WRX if a little more refined as a daily. If you have any more WRX questions, be sure and let me know.

I took my WRX down Highway 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles about a month back. It is one of the great roads in the US, being both scenic and challenging. It would be a tremendous road for a potential west coast HC road trip. Only key would be to do it either very early or very late to avoid all of the Winnebagos slowing down the traffic. Trying to pass 2-3 cars and a Winnebago in a single shot can be pretty darn scary even on a straightaway with good visibility. I hear that after getting down past Morro Bay you can buzz over to the Maricopa Highway (33) to Ojai to have even more fun.

Draft Lottery tonight, followed by WCF Game one. Predictions: Warriors in 5, Hawks in 7.

Just finished the last two episodes. A brilliant ending to an absolutely brilliant show. Mad Men certainly isn't for everyone, but this really is one of televisions masterpieces. Bravo, Matthew Weiner.

You guys may want to check out the "Basketball Breakdown" youtube channel. Coach Nick does a great job doing video breakdowns showing why the pivotal moments of games went the way they went. I highly recommend his videos. For example, check out this video on why the "Andrew Bogut on Tony Allen" strategy worked so well. Spoiler: Tony's lack of awareness helped just as much as the strategy. https://youtu.be/qLEFW3WOuLI

Steve Kerr! Thank you for saving our season! Putting Andrew Bogut on Tony Allen was a stroke of genius.

Blasphemy! Tahoe in the winter is as fun and as beautiful as anywhere else in California! I hope for more reasons than one that we in California have a VERY wet fall/winter this year. The skiing resorts have been badly hurt by the drought just like everybody else.

Oh man, you are crazy! The East has had three straight games decided by buzzer beating shots! I realize Washington has no chance of winning it all without John Wall so that takes a bit of the luster out of Hawks-Wiz, but this Chicago-Cleveland series feels like it really could go either way. I bet the winner of game 5 takes both series. -- As for me, I'm a nervous wreck ahead of GSW-Memphis game 4. If we (GSW) drop this one, the dream will start really looking dim. If we tie it up at 2-2 I still love our chances.

D. Rose! Congrats, Chicago fans!

I am also surprised you have got your battery down that low. I don't think mine has been below 25% since I got it, and I've put it through some heavy use. Maybe it is battery size differences between the 42 and 38mm models?

Now I'm depressed about John Wall. 5 broken bones in his hand? Ouch! Poor Washington sports fans.

Fun games last night. The Rockets absolutely could not afford to lose another game to the CP3-less Clips and they pulled through at the end. I think we are going to see them make an effort to get Dwight on to Blake more. They just can't let they guy continue to tear them up. Outside of Dwight, the best defense on Blake is letting him get tired Highlight of the night of course was Shaq going down. http://www.nba.com/video/channels/tnt_overtime/2015/05/06/20150506-inside-shaq-hits-the-deck.nba/

Drinking too much beer at NBA games may be hazardous. This guy was on his way for a beer refill until that happened.

Because dammit, we need a current NBA thread. It looks like there is going to be a pair of awesome games tonight. I'm really looking forward to seeing how LeBron and Kyrie respond to a little adversity. It is crazy that every singe one of the home teams in round two has already dropped a game at home. If the Cavs go down two games I'm officially worried for them. As for Houston, if they can't beat LAC without CP3 in the lineup then they are toast. Thank god for having a DVR! should be some outstanding games.

Oh, just wait until you respond to your first text message from the shower! KILLER APP!

Any ETA on when Qobuz is coming to the US?

Not my favorite boxing fight, but Floyd can frustrate the audience as well as he frustrates his opponents. If Manny can't hit him then I doubt anyone will be able to. Yeah, Manny may have had an injured shoulder, but I'm not sure that would have made the difference between winning and losing. As a Warriors fanatic, I'm thrilled we won't be seeing the Spurs. I tip my hat to them though, that was one of the great game 7s of all time.

LAC v. SAS in an epic game 7 and now the big fight! What a great sports day!

I've had it for only 5 days now, but I think you are going to be very happy when yours arrives. As long as you charge it every day you shouldn't have to worry about the battery life.

^ I enjoyed it for the most part, but hated the recreations.

Hoping my bling watch lands me a date with that red head on the cover!

I'll do you one better. Attempted blending. It does indeed blend.

Got a tracking number today for delivery tomorrow for my SS with WSB. Woohoo! My excitement is tempered by the fact that that the Space Grey one I'm giving to someone as a gift won't be showing up anytime soon, but oh well.
