mcbrat Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 settled in for the night in Gillette, WY so far, in over 800 miles of driving, have only seen 1 EA soob. a ea82 sedan.... (other than the red beast following me closely ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Sometimes you have to look very hard to find a Subaru but they are out there. Try the sky (Gyrocopters), or Hovercrafts, and maybe in a Vanagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(other than the red beast following me closely ) That will change when you get closer to doG's Country. And I no what you mean about be tailgated by a soob for hundreds of miles.

mcbrat Posted July 11, 2005 Author Share Posted July 11, 2005 well, made it to CdA before calling it a night. cood driving. Saw EdRach's Brat heading east in the morning... also saw a Forester with what looked to be a ea81 hatchback rear hatch or a impreza wagon rear hatch, cut/welded in to make it a 2 seater, and it had a bed with a FORD tailgate on it.... sorry, looked fugly to me, but it looked like a decent fab job..... saw a yellow ea81 wagon with a brushguard on it in Bozeman I think....
