Who knew goats could growl? In my case, Sport mode has a distinctly Subie sound. Weird. Maybe it’s because it‘s holding the lower gears longer and I’m just not used to hearing it rev out.

I used PlastiDip on the wheels of a previous car. It was on for years without issues!

That’s only a fraction of the actual cost of the swap. What about depreciation, taxes, etc.

Enjoy the Maverick! Considering the close relationship between the Maverick and Sport, I’m curious why you didn’t move to a different brand instead?

Whatever doesn’t fit in the BS goes in the other car.

I used an OBD to USB cable like this. Wasn’t too bad running the it from near the review mirror down to the OBD port.
