Leave It At Home: Subaru DEX

November 21st, 2008

The JDM market is apparently enamored with vehicles that look like they’re stuck in the shipping crate. We saw the first generation Toyota bB here as the Scion xB before it went on an eating binge and lost all its charm. That original bB went on to another generation, and has its own scions in [...]

VIDEO: Ken Block Gymkhana practice, or one hoon to rule them all

November 19th, 2008

There are a remarkable number of crap car videos floating around the intertubes, so it takes a special breed of driving deity to make something that catches our attention.

November 9th, 2008

Funnily enough, these guys aren’t the only ones to ever use a box truck to ruinous effect on an automobile. These Subaru movers went all the way, using what looks like folding cafeteria tables as a makeshift ramp. Everyone involved received a compound physics lesson when 3,000 pounds of automobile met an unsecured and poorly [...]

November 8th, 2008

Even though our lust for Japan’s forbidden fruit has been sated by three generations of the Subaru STI and Mitsubishi EVO – and now, the Nissan GT-R – one guilty pleasure is still out of reach. The Subaru Forester STI has always held a special place in our hearts, combining a healthy dose of practicality [...]

Save us Subaru Mountain Rescue Vehicle!

November 7th, 2008

Leave the Saint Bernards at home, honey, we’ve got something better. The Subaru Mountain Rescue Vehicle was made for the National Ski Patrol — an organization we had never heard of until we saw this truck. On its tiptoes it has 35cm of clearance, and the staid passenger car driving compartment is balanced by the [...]

Those interested in outward appearances will note the “Atmospheric Re-Entry paint scheme” (their words, not ours), JDM body kit, lower front spoiler and [...]
