Now that’s some real brand dedication!

I’m more marveling at the house. I mean, a new, big duplex on a main road with single-car garages for each side, giant driveways, and an extra-huge ramp to the street bisected by a telephone pole. So many interesting choices.

Why no landscaping?
Because racecar.
Money for bushing, no money for bushes.

And it all looks brand new, except the roof looks streaky. Hmmmm.

That telephone pole looks ancient as well. Is that still a thing in the US, telephone poles?

Bigly house, one-bay garage.

Tis a duplex, there’s another garage on the other side.

race car stickers don’t make it a race car.
Don’t see a roll cage

There are many places throughout the US where power and/or communications wiring is not buried in the ground and instead is on poles.
Here in Madison, WI where I live, a few years ago we had the misfortune of having ridiculously huge high voltage power transmission lines put up along some of our major roads .

There was a family that lived in my neighborhood at one point, they had a caged 2.5 RS and a pretty nice Legacy H6 along with other modded Subarus.

Where I live, they usually bury utilities in new developments. I live in a 110 year old house in a very old part of town. There are still poles that run down the alleys, but the lines are buried from the pole to the house. This is another reason I love alleys. Hides all that mess away from view.

Just wait until they re-route the Line 5 Oil Pipeline through Madison...

I tried to find a more precise map of that proposed route. The original report is here . I found the route on page 260. Looks like it would cross I-94 around Lake Mills, which is about 20 miles east of the eastern border of Madison, and about 35 miles east of my house. What could possibly go wrong?
(Still, fuck that pipeline, obviously.)

depends also on population density. common in dense neighborhoods and new construction, but too expensive in rural areas. Also difficult in some areas due to water and sewer lines that were put in a hodgepodge manner, so it becomes a cluster coordinating water departments.
There was an ice storm and there was talk of where lines would be buried and it said the cost was 5 times of overhead.
Another issues is coordination between utility and cable companies. Easiest comprimise is to throw it up on a pole.

I’d DD that, as long as it’s an actual STi.
