Who is this?
Just curious. I searched a "rally SVX" and this is all that showed up, along with it in action. Nice shoes FTW

Holy Crap!!! It is the VP

Who would have thought that he was hiding out in Alaska Rally'in the SVX?

Now I don't resent that he got a $1.9 mil tax refund, transmissions are expensive.

I'd also be interested to find out more about this car...if anything shows up about it (specs, results etc) I'd be very keen to hear about it.

Thanks,
Matt

He even has that million dollar Dick Cheney smile; just fills the heart with joy.

Did anyone notice the Subaru Rally team inspired shoes?

This guy has popped up before, and it's not Dick Cheney.
I have some pics of the car in action, but on my desktop which I don't feel like powering up.
They are also in someone's locker.
