  1. If this weren’t so tragic, I’d say the guy should wait for the call from Subie for an advertisement… who knew they could reach those speeds… maybe troubled Jaguar can rebrand themselves as Subaru’s… Impressive Imprezas… a headline I never thought I’d see associated with mountain goats climbing snow covered mountains with skiis on top? or 130 mph on the interstate? which sells better?

    • A lot of people know they can go that fast, especially if it’s a tweaked WRX. Subies not only can go places that can get there fast. And NO, I don’t have one, but I know.
