5 simple ways to be more adventurous

It’s easy to fall into a rut. Maybe every morning you wake up at 7:15, take a shower, scramble up a couple of eggs, pop two slices of whole-wheat toast into the toaster, and drink a cup of coffee while reading the morning news. You take the same route to work, the same route home, and you’ve repeated this process for the past decade or so.

 

It's not that you’re unhappy with your routine, but sometimes doing the same thing over and over can start to feel a little stale. Days start to blend together…

Find Your Park on August 25th


Even if you're not a Subaru owner or fan, you’ve probably heard by now that Subaru will be helping the National Park Service with their trash problem. Subaru’s U.S. auto plant, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., has become well known for their environmental conservation practices ever since becoming the first U.S. auto plant to achieve zero-landfill status in 2004, and now Subaru is going to help bring those practices to the National Park Service.

It seems hard to believe that a network of parks designed to protect and showcase the natural beauty of the United…

Book Drive for the Little Free Library

It somehow seems fitting that a man named Francis Bacon would say, "Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly." Whatever the book and however you choose to read it, you cannot argue the importance of knowledge and reading. 

There are a number of benefits associated with reading including increased verbal abilities, increased intelligence, improved focus, and improved memory. But many people don't need those incentives to read, because reading is also fun and enjoyable. However, some people aren't able to read books, because they do not have easy…

Why You Should Service Your Subaru at the Dealership

Sometimes people think that servicing a vehicle at the dealership will be too expensive, or maybe that it's not any different from going to a regular auto mechanic. They figure that service is service no matter where they go, so it doesn’t matter where they take their vehicle. But not all service is created equal, and there are some clear advantages to taking your Subaru to be serviced at a dealership. 

One of the main advantages that dealerships have over a 3rd party auto shop is the fact that they specialize. Dealerships work with vehicles made by…

Nitrogen Tire Inflation

You might have heard somewhere that it’s better to fill your tires with pure nitrogen than it is to fill them with air. While the arguments for filling your tires with nitrogen are rooted in truth, the benefits are minimal, and in most cases you won't even be able to tell the difference between nitrogen and air. 

The air pumps that you can use for free at many gas stations will fill your tires with a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and a few other gases. The nitrogen content ends up being almost 80%, with the remainder being mostly…

Take Your Family to the Drive-In

It's a Friday night and you’re trying to think of something for you and your family to do. You want something that's fun for all ages, not too rambunctious, but not too tame either. Maybe something fresh and exciting that you don't normally do. Why not mix it up by taking your family to the drive-in movie theater? 

Drive-in movie theaters aren’t new by any means, but since they’ve fallen out of fashion, it’s probably been a while since you’ve visited one. Maybe some of your family members haven’t ever been…

Taking Your Subaru to Italy?

Travelling to Italy is a bucket list regular. In 2013, Italy had 47.7 million visitors, making it the fifth most visited country in the world. Whether it’s the history, the culture, the architecture, or the food, Italy has something for everyone. But be careful on the roads if you’re heading to Italy, especially in the southern region.

According to an article from the Telegraph, a new regulation allows drivers in the Avellino region to consume as many as 8 glasses of wine, and escape with a just small fine if pulled over.

Carlo Sessa, the provincial governor…

The WRX Does It All

What do you know about the Subaru WRX? If your answer is, "It's fast, and it wins a lot of races because it's fast," you're not alone. The WRX has a reputation for speed and performance, especially when compared to the rest of the Subaru lineup, but there's more to the WRX than flat out speed. Like all Subaru vehicles, the WRX is also incredibly safe and great for families.

Summer Driving Tips

People don’t always consider the hazards that can come from summer driving. After all, the things that make driving dangerous happen in the winter, right? Frozen roads, heavy snows, and all of that. While you're safe from icy freeways during the hot summer months, summer presents a number of other hazards for drivers, and the fact that you might not be expecting these hazards can make them even more dangerous.

 

  •  Warm weather means more people are getting outside. Watch out for runners and cyclists on the road.

Subaru leads the way

Over the years, Subaru has been known for a lot of different things. The first Subaru brought over to the US in the 1960s was marketed as "cheap and ugly." This earned Subaru a reputation as being a little peculiar to say the least. The next thing Subaru became known for was All-Wheel Drive and Safety. Subaru vehicles were, and still are expected, to handle any type of terrain and weather condition, and provide unrivaled safety. Now, the manufacturer is earning a solid reputation for environmental stewardship. 

Back in 2004, Subaru decided that they were producing too much waste at…
