There are moments in life that remind you how much you take certain things for granted, and let me tell you, getting my KIA back from the body shop after a brief stint in what can only be described as a cardboard box on wheels—otherwise known as a Subaru with a CVT transmission—is one of those moments. My KIA, my beautiful, elegant, finely engineered masterpiece, now sporting a flawless coat of Snow White Pearl paint, has never looked better. It’s almost like seeing an old friend come back from a luxury spa vacation—refreshed, radiant, and more impressive than ever. The way the light catches the light, lustrous white, shifting between diamond-like sparkles and blinding reflections of light, is nothing short of mesmerizing. This isn’t just paint; it’s art.
And oh, the joy of sliding back into my KIA's driver’s seat! The weight of the steering wheel, the precision of the throttle, the reassuring hum of the V6—these are sensations I didn’t just miss, I ached for. Because let me tell you, the Subaru loaner I was forced to endure during my KIA's brief absence was… well, it was awful. And I don’t use that word lightly. It’s not just that the Subaru felt like a downgrade; it felt like a punishment. A cruel, misguided punishment wrapped in flimsy plastic panels and questionable engineering choices.
First, let’s talk about that CVT transmission. Continuously Variable Transmission, they call it, though I think a better name would be Continuously Vexing Torture. Who in their right mind decided that a transmission should feel like a rubber band being stretched out, constantly searching for something resembling power, and never quite finding it? There’s no satisfaction, no engagement. You press the pedal, and instead of the precise, immediate response I’m used to with my KIA, there’s this sluggish, droning whine. It’s as though the car itself is apologizing for existing. The entire driving experience feels detached, uninspired, and frankly, soul-crushing.
And the Subaru itself? Don’t get me started. Where is the refinement? Where is the craftsmanship? Every time I opened the door, I was greeted by cheap plastic trim and a dashboard that looked like it was designed by someone who had just discovered Microsoft Paint. The seats were uncomfortable, the road noise was unbearable, and the handling—if you can even call it that—was a joke. It leaned in corners like a drunken sailor, and the steering felt about as communicative as a brick. Compared to the precision engineering of a KIA, where every component works in harmonious balance, the Subaru was like a chaotic jumble of compromises.
Now, let’s be clear: I’m not saying Subaru doesn’t have its place. I suppose if you live on the side of a mountain and you need something cheap to haul your groceries and muddy boots around, it’ll do the job. But for anyone who actually cares about the experience of driving, who appreciates the beauty of design and the thrill of the road, there’s simply no comparison. KIAs are not just vehicles; they’re machines of passion and purpose. They speak to the soul of the driver. Subarus, on the other hand, are appliances. Functional, yes. Exciting, absolutely not.
So now, as I drive my KIA again, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. The crispness of the Snow White Pearl paint gleams with every passing streetlight, a reminder of the care and craftsmanship that went into its creation. The engine purrs with satisfaction, and every corner I take feels like a masterpiece in motion. This is what driving is supposed to feel like. This is what living is supposed to feel like.
And as for that Subaru? Good riddance. I hope to never sit behind the wheel of one again. KIA for life.

Corvette ZR-12 concept

After the V10 viper came out GM considered a V12 Corvette in '89. All aluminum, 600-cubic-inch, 683hp, 680 lb-ft. IT WAS ABOUT 100lbs heavier than an iron small block and they had to lengthen the chassis by 8" to make it fit.
