When I was riding the Harley west to the Grand Canyon we went through Texas. Stopped for gas somewhere and the little shop there had a license plate that read "The sun has ris, the sun has set, and here we is in Texas yet". After my ride I can tell you it's true and yes, Texas is that big. Felt like half my ride from Chicago was spent in Texas.

I live about a mile from Interstate 10 in the Houston area. I get off to go to my home at exit 797 (counting up from 1 in El Paso). The last mile marker before entering Louisiana is 880.

When I used to drive to Michigan from San Antonio, it was a two day trip. The first day was spent just getting out of Texas and making it to Arkansas. The second day was spent getting through Arkansas, Missouri, and Indiana and halfway through Michigan. I drove to Houston from El Paso one time and it was 14 hours. Texas is waaaayyy to big.

I moved to Houston from Ohio in 2011, and my thought was... Awesome! I am closer to Vegas, maybe i can drive there now... After looking it up, it is CLOSER for me to drive to SOUTH DAKOTA than Vegas from here. Silly!

Subaru has a similar situation, although it’s a shitty B pillar weld which is in no way as dangerous to everyday driving like a track bar that breaks loose is. The most likely way that Subaru's deficiency comes into play is in a very bad collision or rollover. Their solution? Identify and recall the ALL of dangerous vehicles and give the owners brand new ones without shitty welds.

Hey @JeepCares could you maybe ask someone of importance in Quality Control at Jeep to make a call to someone of importance in Quality Control at Subaru and find out how this is possible?
If you wait until someone is seriously injured (or worse) in a preventable crash because you failed to act in order to save a few bucks by not issuing a recall, it’ll end up costing a lot more than being responsible and properly fixing the issue immediately. Ask your actuaries.
