Subaru WRX - Everything You Need to Know | Up To Speed - Duration: 9:49.
Hey.
Stop.
Scrolling.
We made you a WRX video.
It's Sunday and you're driving your mom home from a nice ass brunch in your STI.
You pass another WRX going the opposite direction.
He waves.
You wave.
Your mom is like...
"Do you know that young gentleman, honey?"
Yeah
I kinda do.
Little does your mom know, that you're part of another family.
You're part of the Subie Nation baby. A nation birthed in the mountains of sweden
and the planes of Africa. One nation, under god….Colin be thy name. And your mom looks
at you and she's just like…"You passed our exit." Pffff...parents just don't understand.
(Laughing)
This is everything you need to know to get Up to Speed on the Subaru WRX.
Inhales.
Coughs.
(8-bit music plays)
At its inception in the 1950s, Subaru focused on building small "People's Cars" with
an emphasis on suiting the needs of Post-War Japan. In the early 80s, they decided to expand
their global image through motorsports, and their sport of choice--RALLY. It's a sport
so bad-ass that you can't even do it alone. You need a sidekick. You need a navigator.
Like Han Solo and Chewy in the Millenium Falcon.
But you are not in a galaxy far far away.
You are in the f***ing woods.
You got dirt, you got snow, you got real ass roads.
And there is a chance that you might crash into a tree.
Or a f***ing person!
When you think of basketball
You think of the Yankees.
When you think of Rally you think Subaru.
But from 1980 to 1990, they were sorta the MIghty Ducks before Gordon Bombay Showed up.
They literally only had one podium finish.
In 1987, some dude named Possum Bourne got third at Rally New Zealand.
Possum Bourne, Jason's dad.
But, in the early 90s, the gears started turning and Subaru started winning. They signed Colin McRae.
Ever heard of him? And halfway through the 1993 season they ditched the bigger Legacy
and debuted the Impreza.
The team was sponsored by State Express 555 tobacco, and wore the brand's colors of
gold and blue. McRae and Ari Vatanen drove their new WRXs to place Subaru fifth in the
team championship. Not bad! While the partnership between State Express and Subaru eventually ended.
The WRX will forever be associated with that color scheme.
The Impreza was a shortened version of the Legacy formula, a recipe of which all WRXs are based on to this day.
Four doors, all wheel drive, and a flat four Boxer engine.
The Impreza went on sale in Japan in 1992, and Subaru offered a special package for their
home market. Buyers had the option of a turbocharged model called the WRX.
Or
World
Rally
eXperimental.
Get it?
Alongside that, the Japanese could also get the WRX RA, which was even more hardcore.
It had no power windows, no A/C, and no anti-lock brakes. . The states got the Impreza
a year later, but we didn't get the WRX… so...fuck us right?
1994 was a big year for Subaru and the Impreza. It marked the first year Subaru participated
in every round of the World Rally Championship, and they introduced an even better WRX.
The STI. It had carbon fiber strut tower braces, a better intercooler, and forged pistons.
The STi also has some funky looking pink badges on it. In Japan, Pink is associated with Cherry blossoms
which symbolize a time of renewal and the fleeting of natural life.
Well let's put it on a racecar!
Subaru won the WRC title in 1995 because Toyota was caught cheating. Colin McRae won
his first WRC title that year, and Subaru went on to win two more consecutive championships.
To celebrate the hat trick, they introduced the mother of all STI's, the Impreza 22B.
It came with a functional hood scoop, flared fenders, fog light covers, a massive AND functional
rear wing, and of course, gold wheels. The 22B was truly a rally car for the street,
and Subaru only made 424 of them. I would do terrible things for one of these, unimaginable things.
After ten years of holding out on us Americans, Subaru finally gave us the WRX in 2002, and
it changed the entire landscape of the American auto industry. Not only did it become one
of the most popular cars in tuner culture, it proved to every car company that there
was a market for fun, affordable--i.e. Turbo cars in America. Look at the options in the
American market before the WRX.
An Eclipse.
We spent the 90's wondering why Japan didn't
send the best they had to offer to the states and with the WRX we finally got it.
Lancer Evo, Focus RS, Golf R, and just this year finally the Civic Type R.
None of these would be available if it weren't for the WRX.
The New Age Impreza or "Bug Eye", made 227 horsepower and had comparable performance
to the Audi S4 and BMW 3-Series. Which Subaru made a big deal about in their advertising
for the WRX. Of all the Impreza's it's the cutest, and it's one of the best looking wagons ever.
In 2004 they gave the bug eye a facelift and America got the STI, this time powered by
Subaru's EJ25 two and a half liter engine. The turbocharger made 14 and a half pounds
of boost and pushed the engine to 300 horsepower. The exterior was designed by Peter Stevens,
who was responsible for the Lotus Espirit and McLaren F1.
His resume is almost as impressive as mine.
Huuh.
The WRX got another refresh in 2006 with the release of the new "hawk eye" models.
OR as I like to call them the pig nose WRX. For some reason, in 2005 and 2006 the WRX
was also offered as a SAAB in the form of the 9-2X Aero. It's essentially the same
car but had different sheet metal and only offered as a wagon.
The next Impreza, released in 2008 got another redesign, and this time around it was less
edgy than previous cars. Subaru wanted the Impreza to be a little more similar to the
mainstream competition like the Mazda 3. The new WRX had softer suspension and less aggressive looks.
Also, the STI was only offered as a hatchback, and fans weren't happy about it.
Honestly, if I were to get an STI it would be this one. I think it looks awesome.
Subaru admitted that they went too far trying to gain mainstream appeal with the WRX and upgraded
the next's year model with new suspension and 265 horsepower.
At least you admit you are wrong.
In 2011, a little company called Cosworth got their hands on the STI, and they did something magical.
They gave it 365 horsepower and 380 pound feet of torque. It did 0-60 in 3.7 seconds,
and had brakes so good, that you had to duct-tape around your eyes to keep them in the sockets
when you stopped. The Cosworth CS400 was a monster. Unfortunately only 75 were only produced.
So I guess quality over quantity.
Subaru continued to make the hatchback WRX until 2014, when they debuted their newest
sedan design. Some fans say it's way too tame for the WRX's heritage, while other
people argue that the old ones were ugly anyway and this is a step in the right direction.
Whatever your opinion is, it's a good car.
The 2015 model got a new twin scroll turbo making 268 horsepower, and a six speed gearbox.
Subaru proved its potential the next year by taking a modified 600 horsepower STI to the Isle of Man.
The Isle of Man is one of the most batshit races on earth.
The drivers and motorcycle guys fly around the island's 37 mile course. It's freakin nuts.
The psycho Subie did it in just under 18 minutes, setting a new world record.
Despite the WRX's frequent design changes through the years, one thing remains apparent:
It's just fucking cool. It made it acceptable to offer hood scoops. Big wings. And noisy
brakes from the factory. They brought companies down to our level. They listened. And sometimes
that's all it takes to make a huge impact.
Dad.
The WRX has earned such a devoted following because it strikes a unique balance between
niche focus and wide appeal. It attracts a driver who wants something a little funky
but familiar, ostentatious but accomplished. You want a rally inspired ride Colin McRae
would feel right at home in? No problem. Wanna slam it to the ground and rule the car meet
vape boy? Go right ahead. You can go as crazy as you want to because at the end of the day,
the WRX can back it up. It's a really great car.
Even if your mom doesn't get it.

Audio Game Hub Gameplay Review - Bomb Disarmer - Duration: 8:27.
Codee: Did you guys find your way back to another Audio Game Hub gameplay review?
Well, that's pretty cool.
I'm happy to see you guys again.
Today we're gonna play Bomb Disarmer.
And this is a pretty cool game.
It reminds me a little bit of Call of Duty, buy then in a way much easier way than Call
of Duty ever was for me.
And ever will be for me.
Uhm… it's Call of Duty crossed with Simple Simon.
Or… however the heck they called it in this game.
I think they call it Super Simon actually, not Simple Simon.
So it's… it's Call of Duty storyline, but it's crossed with Simple Simon or Super
Simon.
And the idea of the game is that you have to type in different codes to disarm the bombs.
And the codes work like the Super Simon, uh… audio patterns.
So you have to follow the audio sequence to type in the code, to disarm the bomb.
And the storyline is very much like Call of Duty in the… in the fact that you get to
actually follow, uhm… a whole story.
And you get to disarm bombs in different places.
So we're gonna go ahead and see how many bombs I can disarm.
Without uh… blowing anything up.
You reckon I'm gonna be good at this?
I don't know.
I know already I played this game a few times.
And every time I've played it I've blown up the football field.
So, let's see if I can get further than the football field today.
Phone: Bomb Disarmer game menu.
Start new game.
Start new game.
Choose the type of game.
Campaign mode.
Attention all units.
We have reports of a serial bomber in New City.
As a member of New City's elite bomb squad, you are responsible for keeping the people
safe.
Respond to the bomb threats and use your skills to disarm the bombs.
Each bomb has a growing sequence of sounds.
To disarm the bomb, repeat each sequence correctly.
Tap each quadrant of the screen to produce a sound.
Remember, your time is limited and you only have one chance.
Now get to it!
Now repeat this sequence.
Phew! that was close.
Good work squad.
We just got news of another bomb at a plaza near your location.
Get a move on!
Now repeat this sequence.
I can do this.
Congratulations, you have unlocked the 'promoted to captain' achievement.
Oh my God, there's another sequence.
Holy shit.
This is gonna be a tough one.
Phew!
Another bomb just reported at the football stadium.
Keep going!
Now repeat this sequence.
I can do this.
There's another one.
Oh my God.
This is gonna be a tough one.
There's another one.
Codee: Oh my gosh.
Phone: Oh my God.
I can do this.
Codee: Aaah!! (laughs) Every time!!
He died in honour of New City.
Rest in peace.
Congratulations!
A new high score.
Your final score is five.
Would you like to share your progress on FaceBook?
You'll be re-directed to a new browser window.
You might have to turn the accessibility mode on.
Yes.
Codee: It's uhm… currently not possible to share your scores through FaceBook because
this is still a beta phase.
And for one or other reason it doesn't work.
Mr people at the Audio Game Hub team, could you please fix this?
Because this would be a really cool feature.
So we're gonna choose no…
Phone: Return.
You're leaving?
Who is going to save New City.
Codee: Well, I'm not going to save New City anymore today.
I really love that game.
I love the commentary that's a part of that game.
It makes it way much more fun to play.
And it feels like you're really deep into a story.
It's almost like playing the… the Xbox games that I used to play.
So, that's pretty cool.
I like that.
It gives me the same feeling that I used to get when I used to play Xbox.
I can..
I can be a gamer again guys.
That's pretty awesome.
Thank you Mr Audio Game Hub.
I like it.
A lot.

6 Reasons To Get A Bike Fit | Improve Your Position On The Bike - Duration: 3:19.
- Having a specialist fit can have a significant difference
on many aspects of your cycling.
As a triathlete, there are even more reasons
to seek expert advice.
So what are the essential benefits
to having a professional bike fit?
(trap music)
If you're not comfortable on your bike,
you're likely to avoid riding it and straight away,
that's going to effect your performance
and limit your potential.
There are quite a few things you can do
to help improve your comfort.
Doing a regular stretching and strength programme
will help you get into the desired position whilst
maintaining the comfort.
A good bike fit will identify the areas you can work on
and find a position that's comfortable for you
and it will mean you want to get on your bike
and stay on it for many hours.
The more efficient you are on the bike,
the faster you'll be able to go
for the same amount of effort and energy.
Without having to get stronger or fitter,
you can find more power just by tweaking your position.
So basically, being more efficient means free speed.
(rap beat)
Sadly it's often a reactive rather than a proactive reason
to go and get a bike fit.
There can be some many ways in which you can get an injury.
But often it's doing something slightly wrong
hundreds and hundreds of times.
On the plus side, that means often a tiny tweak
such as just moving your saddle height a minimal amount
can reduce the pain and prevent any future injuries.
(trap music)
One of the main reasons for investing in a time trial bike
is to be more aerodynamic.
When you got a really fast bike like this,
there's no point in sitting on it in a really upright
position because straight away
you'll outweigh any of the benefits.
Getting the perfect aero position
will probably have some compromises
and that's why expert advice can come in handy.
(mellow rap beat)
It's a fact that it's often easily overlooked
but of course you need to have good control of the bike.
Now when getting fitted, it often closely linked
with your comfort and efficiency.
Although some triathlon and time trial courses
can be straight forward,
having good control of a bike is essential.
A significant difference in getting a fit
on a triathlon bike compared to a standard time trial bike
is having to consider the run leg straight after the bike.
Now it's quite a challenge for the body
expecting it to run efficiently after working hard cycling
but getting a few tweaks and especially focusing
on the angle of your hips
can make a very positive difference very quickly.
Those are the benefits of having a professional bike fit.
And by making a few small changes,
you can take your cycling to the next level.

How to Transfer Billing Responsibility to Requestor | AT&T Wireless - Duration: 3:20.
[♪music♪]
This video shows you
how you can transfer billing responsibility
for an AT&T wireless number to another person.
There are 2 parts to the transfer process.
First, the requestor, or current AT&T account owner,
starts the process to transfer the wireless number.
Second, the acceptor, or future owner, completes the process
and accepts the billing responsibility for the line.
This video walks you through the process
for the current wireless number account holder
to begin the transfer process and what to expect.
With myAT&T, the entire process can be done online
from your mobile device or a computer.
If the person accepting the transfer
doesn't already have an account with AT&T,
that's OK.
A new AT&T account will be created.
Here are some things you need to know before you begin.
For the requestor or current AT&T account owner,
the line can't be on a GoPhone or company account.
The requestor's account must have been active
for at least 60 days,
and must still be active.
Voicemail messages may get erased,
so you should check your messages
before transferring the line.
And finally, Rollover Data and Rollover Minutes
will not transfer to the new owner.
The acceptor must be an adult.
They'll complete a credit evaluation
during the acceptance process
and may be asked to pay a deposit.
If the new wireless number owner already has an AT&T account,
it can't have a past due balance.
Any past due balances can be paid online in myAT&T
before you begin the process.
The new owner accepts
full billing responsibility for the line,
beginning on the transfer date.
This includes service contract
or AT&T Next retail installment agreements, if any.
Lastly, the new owner selects from the plans and features
that we currently offer.
To start the transfer process, go to att.com/transferservice.
Sign in to myAT&T using your ID and password.
Next, on the transfer of billing responsibility page,
choose the wireless line or lines you want to transfer.
Then, enter the information for the person
who will be accepting the transfer.
Enter the person's full first and last name and email address.
For your account security,
we'll send you a 6-digit PIN to the number you choose.
Enter the PIN you receive and select "Submit".
We'll send you an email or text message confirming
that your request was sent to the acceptor.
We'll also send a confirmation email or text message,
when the acceptor has completed the process.
The acceptor can start the acceptance process
by either selecting the link in the transfer request email
that was automatically send to them,
or, if they already have an AT&T account,
the acceptor can sign in to myAT&T,
select "Billing usage payments",
and then select "Transfer billing responsibility".
The acceptor will need to complete this process
within 14 days.
We have a related video
that walks the acceptor through their process
to take over the wireless number.
The original owner, or requestor,
will receive one final prorated bill,
which covers charges up to the date
the transfer of billing was completed.
In addition, the acceptor's first bill
may also include prorated charges for the service
from the date of the transfer to the monthly billing date.
For more information about
transferring wireless service to another person,
please visit att.com/transferservice.
Thanks for choosing AT&T.

Learn Idioms and Phrases - 10 idioms you can use in office - PART 2 | Learning with Friend - Duration: 12:23.
Subscribe to learning with friends and click on the bell icon so that you never
miss an update. Hello everyone welcome to Learning with Friends. Today's video is
the second one on office idioms - a much requested topic. You can watch our first
office idioms video by clicking here. You can use these idioms while talking to
your colleagues your boss or in official mail. So let's get to it.
The first idiom that we will discuss is in a nutshell.
In a nutshell means to explain something briefly or to sum it up. For example - to
put the MD's speech in a nutshell - if we don't change our marketing strategy we
will soon lose market share. This means that the MD must have given a detailed
speech on how the company needs to change its marketing strategy by giving
examples of what competitors are doing or what else can be done by the company
to make sure that it reaches its target audience and then at the end of the
speech the speaker is summarizing the speech by saying that if this is not
done then the company will lose market share. So whenever something is
summarized or presented in brief we can use the idiom in a nutshell. Let's go to
the second idiom - in the driver's seat. In the driver's seat means to be in charge
or in control. For example, Sarah is in the driver's seat now. As the new CEO she
will decide who is promoted and who is not.
This means that Sarah is the chief executive officer of the company now. She
must have taken up this position recently and therefore it is she who
will now decide who gets the promotion and who does not. Which is why the
speaker is saying that she is in the driver's seat now
which means she is in charge. Let's move to the next idiom - take the bull by the
horns. This means to directly deal with a difficult situation without fear. For
example after two quarters of low growth the government must take the bull by the
horns and announce some tough measures to boost the economy. So we all know that
the economy goes through cycles and very often the government of the day is
expected to announce measures so that the economy comes out of a low phase.
Sometimes these measures are not popular. For example in the recent past the
government of the day has brought GST, the goods and services tax, which some
people have found trouble with because it's a new taxation system. But the
government still has to take these measures to make sure that the economy
stays in a high growth phase. So when someone is willing to take tough
measures to deal with the difficult situation without fear then we say that
the person has taken the bull by the horns. Let's go to the next idiom -
no-brainer. No-brainer means something that is so obvious that it doesn't need
much thought, that is something that is easy to understand. For example the
merger will be hugely profitable to us so approving the deal is a no-brainer.
What do we mean by a merger? a merger is when two small entities or two small
companies come together to create a larger company. This is often done in
business because both companies can utilize one another's strengths and come
up with a bigger company that is more profitable that has more customers that
can better bargain with providers, suppliers. So the speaker here is saying
that the merger, the intended merger is going to be hugely profitable to us. So
approving this deal that is saying yes to the deal is something that should
come easily to all of us; is something that we should not have to think a lot
about. Which is why it's a no-brainer. Let's move to the next idiom - on the same
page. On the same page means in agreement. That is when two parties agree on
something. For example their partnership did not last because they were never on
the same page regarding any business issue. Now a business partnership is when
two people come together to start a business but for the partnership to work
it is important that the partners agree on at least the basics. But in this
particular case as the speaker says that the partners were never on the same page
which means that they did not agree about anything which is why the
partnership had to end. The next idiom on the list is pink slip. Pink slip is used
to define a situation when one is fired or asked to leave an organization. For
example, Rahul was handed the pink slip today.
With three children and old parents he will have to soon get another job. When we say
Rahul was handed the pink slip today we are basically saying that Rahul was
asked by his organization to leave. Remember that when you voluntarily leave
an organization that is when you decide to leave your job, you cannot use this
idiom. This idiom is only used when you are asked by the organization or when
you are fired. Therefore for Rahul it will be
essential to find a new job because he has many responsibilities at home. The
next idiom that we'll discuss is read between the lines. To read
between the lines is to understand something that is not clearly stated or said. For
example if you read between the lines of her farewell speech you will notice that
she and her boss did not get along. What does that mean? So perhaps in her
farewell speech she thanked everybody on the team but not her boss. Or perhaps she
was too happy about leaving the company and she made that clear. So even though
she did not in so many words criticize her boss it was easy to understand or it
could be inferred from her speech that she did not get along with her boss. That
is what we mean by reading between the lines. We have given you an image here to
help you understand better this concept. So the speaker is actually saying I
appreciate your advice but would like to weigh all the options before I take a
decision. In other words the speaker is politely refusing to accept the advice
being given to him. So if you are to read between the lines you could say that the
speaker was actually intending to say I am my own boss so I don't need your
advice. Remember we have placed the black text between the lines of the red text
only as illustration. What the idiom means is that you have to understand
what the person is trying to say by going beyond what is being said. The next
idiom on the list is yes-man. A yes-man is someone who always agrees with his
boss. Always. For example, his boss only promoted yes-men so he had no option but
to become one. Very often. in office situations we realize that people who
agree with their superiors tend to get faster promotions while those who argue
or who raise objections are left behind. That is the situation being described in
this example. This particular boss was one who only
liked people who agreed with him to report to him. Which is why only those
people got promoted and this particular person therefore decided to become a
yes-man. As you can see in the image this person is a classic case of a yes-man
agreeing with the boss every time. sure sir, whatever you say sir, it will be
done sir. That is what a yes-man means. The next idiom is low-hanging fruit. A
low-hanging fruit is a thing or a task that is the easiest to achieve. For
example you need to target the low-hanging fruit
to improve productivity. Start by buying computers that actually work. So there
are number of ways that productivity can be improved in office. Some of these are
easy to achieve others not so much. One of the ways that you can actually
improve productivity easily is by making sure that the systems that you use in
the office: that is the computers, the hardware actually work because if those
systems don't work then how are people going to work and produce what the
company desires of them. Therefore upgrading the hardware is a low-hanging
fruit - an easy way to improve productivity. You can understand this
from the picture as well because literally if a tree has a low-hanging
fruit it is the easiest to pluck. So if you were to apply at a situation in an
office setting it would mean something that is easy to achieve. The last idiom
on the list is elephant in the room. This is an interesting idiom it means an
obvious problem that needs to be discussed but which people are trying to
avoid. For example the loan that Dinesh had taken from his team-mates was the
elephant in the room at every team lunch. So the situation
here is that the Dinesh has taken a loan from some of his teammates. And whenever
they meet for a team lunch there is an awkward silence
around this issue because even though the teammates want to know when the
Dinesh is going to return their money they are apprehensive or unsure of
raising this issue because of politeness or because they don't want to spoil the
team dynamic. And therefore this very clear problem this very clear issue of
Dinesh having not returned the money that he took from his teammates is not
brought up at the team lunch. And therefore becomes the elephant in the
room. Understand here that the elephant in the room is used metaphorically which
means that there's actually no elephant in the room. It's just a problem that
everybody is trying to avoid. So as our image shows there's an office setting, a
lot of discussions are going on but the most important problem is not being
discussed and that most important problem is represented by the elephant
which is saying just ignore me. That's all for now friends. If you like this
