Sounds like a good time to buy a Subaru!

Subaru's new tagline:

14% less-likely to be destroyed in an arson fire compared to American cars ...

:laugh:

That wouldn't be the same Subaru that was at the autocross in St. Paul yesterday was it??

I was there but never saw you by your car. I was just watching....trying to get enough cajones up to try one. I saw that you had a passenger on a couple runs after lunch.

Maybe I'll try the next one....

Heh ... no, never done autocross. :)

Shad has, though, a lot in his old Saturn and once or twice in his GTI.

Some day, if I had tons of money and was too old to ride my bike fast anymore, I'd soup up a Subaru with a turbo kit and all the trimmings and try out RallyCross. :)

My name appears and what do you know. Now I am a tree huggin' vandalizin' fool.......

Cool............but I'm not that much of an extremist.

The Hummer H2 has a customer satisfaction rating of 2.5 out of 5 stars. It's one of the worst rated vehicles. Who's idiot enough to buy one? Don't they do their research or even go for a test drive before they buy something so stupid as an H2 or anyother large 4X4 Pickup or SUV for that matter?

I don't get it..........but I don't think I never will................

Autocross if a lot of fun, but I stopped going when too many people started doing it. It was more fun when we could use the Dakota Co. test track. Once a lot of people got into it, I would be lucky to get in 2 or 3 runs in a day. Before, I would get about 2 practice runs, 4 race runs, and a bunch of $1.00 runs at the end of the day where you can have passengers. I will wait until I make more money and I plan to get into club racing. Then I can race against other cars too.

I love autoracing, but doing it, not watching it........:)

ya - your name is pretty much synonymous with SUVs and especially the H2! I can't help but think of you every time I see one.....aaahhh:kiss:


This past weekend might have been an exception, but I think everyone there got about 9 or so runs in.

So you don't follow F1 or WRC then??

GO JPM!

I don't have time to devote to TV or watching/following any type of sport. I don't even follow BMX anymore. When I am not working: I am going to school, studying for school; taking my wife places (she doesn't drive yet); riding one of my bikes (freestyle or mtb); skateboarding; or playing BattleField1942, Combat Flight Simulator, or GTA Vice City. If I want to watch other people drive cars, I can't do my own things.

Every once in awhile I get to see some rally on TV and it's cool. The last time I saw a rally, I was at the airport waiting for a plane.......LOL. I can also go to numerous web sites and see some highlight clips, which saves time.
