Thumbs up Freelance Subi-testing

My wife did some testing on the Out-black last week.
As she was parking , her foot got caught in the floormat, and she accidently tapped the gas. Well, as we all know, when you 'tap' the gas on a Subi, it GOES, NOW!! She struck a traffic light control box, and the foot hit the gas harder! The traffic box crushed, tore loose from it's base, and yielded to the onslaught. Next, there was the fire hydrant...that the Subi centerpunched! As the debris field was cleared, the 'investigating officer' was surprised that the car had sustained only minor scratches on the bumper cover, a hole about 3" in diameter from the fire plug ( that was pushed 4" ) also in bumper cover, and a sliced sidewall on a tire from the crushed control box. The damage to the car will cost under $400. The damage to state property will be MUCH higher!
Wife was stoved up for several days, but since has made a full recovery.
Subi was back in service within an hour. ( I asked her if she understands NOW why I only buy Subi's?) She said "YES"!!

I have been using an 89 GL hatchback to haul the firewood in this year. It is strictly 'off road', and has been modified a tad. wheel wells are cut out, and it will soon be wearing 15" mudders. It will push out 4" trees with ease! It holds enough wood that I can fill it 4 times, and have a load for my 3/4 ton GMC. (The GMC won't FIT where the wood is). The car will go places that a 4 wheeler won't! I can back right up to the wood, so I don't have to carry it. Life is good!
My grandson was with me saturday, and we made some NEW roads. He was impressed!

Ben, Whats with this HILLCLIMB thing? I might have to start a new 'addiction'
( see above!)



Mary here..wifey of subi-crosser...if you are wondering why the pics are under the file of house....because when I took the pics and downloaded them I was traumatized by the ultimate stupidity I was feeling at the time of the accident. All I wanted to do was get those pics in to the computer, and the next best file was house. Now, on to the show..this is it....

It was the black outback, out front cause the red outback was out back. sometimes the black outback is out back too and sometimes the black outback and the red outback are out front, weather permitting. I hope that clears up the outback comfuzionn.

I looked for the pics, but couldn't find them tonite. It is under construction. svxfiles was building it years ago. It was rolled, and only had 45k on it. Tom had cut the body off and started the rollcage when he quit. It came to me in late summer. I got it running and took it for a 1 mile ride, and drove it into the garage . I have 1/2 of the body removed for some fabrication and enhancements on the Subi part.It was a VW kit body, and I have to stretch it 5 inches to make the doors work. I also have to make it T-top so I can wear a helmet, since I'm 6'4", and it's job will be AUTOCROSS. I may use it for a saturday nite cruizer once in a while, if it looks good enough!
