The Subaru has been christened

Pics are shitty but you get the idea.







I love driving on snowy roads... I just don't trust anyone else.

That's so fucking awesome. I wish I had bought one.

How deep of snow will a subbie go through before it starts to bottom out and you're fucked if you stop.


obviously it depends a lot on the type of snow, but you know generally

I'll let you know when I find out. We got about 4-5 inches last night and I haven't had a problem yet.

It's got to be better than the Wally Wagon, and I never came close to getting that car stuck. Even in a foot of snow. Closest I came was when I parked it in a snow bank and it snowed around the car back in undergrad.

Well i wouldn't figure you'd have any problems with 4-5"


My guess is somewhere around 8-10" it might start to suck. I've just never known anybody with one that knew how to drive. Just Curious.

That's all kinds of cool

I am really a bad judge at that kind of stuff... distances I mean. COuld have been more snow, I don't know.

There was a time snow was scraping up against the front bumper of the Evo. I was able to drive through that okay, but ended up turning around because I didn't want the bumper to get scratched. So, however high the Evo's bumper is wasn't a problem either... even when stopped.

The Subaru still has the OE RE92's on it. Blah.

hahahaha i still love that talon always has somebody stationed with a camera around at all times.

the nissan came with re92s, and i think they're some of the worst tires ever. i've got some yokohamas now that kill.

It's the dude in his avatar.

i thought you meant you took a dump on the hood

I did that before the original test drive at the dealership.

ahh, yes. the ole 'hood dump' test. it's a shame they don't write more about it in the magazines.

If it doesn't eat away the paint, then it's a quality car.

Extra steamy in the winter, too.

Its not bad until you slide into ruts from trucks.

Also, talon, did you get this for a daily driver?
