Was chatting with Jibs and Jeremy (subieman) and they convinced me to drive up to their place to do some playing in the snow. 2 hours later I was there

 

We tried to get Jibs white Brat out of his driveway, but there was a jeep in the way that wouldnt start. So he drove with me. Jeremy and his girlfriend took his Wagon. Fun was had for all

I also got my rims from Jibs too, so as soon as I have tires i'll get rid of those 13" steels

damn the lights on the wagon are super dim. I think i have a flashlight thats brighter.

Yeah, we had fun, too bad my brat looked like this this morning:

 

 

And we couldn't get past my stupid Jeep. I now know to park all the soobs IN FRONT of the jeeps and other non soob cars. Anyway, here's a link to a video of Brian playin in the snow with the RX:

Sorry there's no sound and it's kinda choppy, I don't have a firewire port on my laptop. I'll get that fixed soon enough. Again, we had a blast.

Looks like I missed out (had business at the Drano Airport today) on a mini-meet, but was close:( .

 

Isn't that Scott's yellow wagon?

 

Hey Jibs, has your snow turned to Sierra Cement (like ours has)?

 

Thanks for the pix guys.

Yeah Dave, it's real chunky on top and cement underneath. It was fun, we did this on a whim, as Brian wasn't even sure he was comin up this morning. Didn't make it too far either, none of the roads are open or trekked yet.

damn the lights on the wagon are super dim. I think i have a flashlight thats brighter.

 

My lights are bright. I just think its the exposure of the camera.

 

Yes it was fun! Brian is a crazy driver! He is good at drifting around the corners!

 

NVZeno.... this is now my wagon. Scott has left the world of Subarus for a while.

 

Here is my wagon again....

Yes it was fun! Brian is a crazy driver! He is good at drifting around the corners!

Felt like being back in Alaska... its been a LOOONG time since i've drifted around corners like that. Next time i'll bring a tripod

 

Also, that rear LSD really kicks the rear end out. I could feel it doing its thing 100% of the time... i loved it!!!

 

I'll be back after I get new tires for sure.

I loved the drifting video. More, more, more!

Soon... i promise.

 

Jeremy, how long will that snow be up there? Dave, do you still have alot of snow? I have a couple tripod's here of various heights that i think will help, and another camcorder

 

Just need more cameramen....

no pics of t3h rims?

Jeremy, how long will that snow be up there?

-Brian

 

Well, the temperatures have been quite cold.... -7 at night and our high yesterday was 23.... so for a few days until it warms up again. Looks like toward this weekend it might hit 40.

 

Your best bet is to shoot some video off old hwy 40 in the sierras. You will have better luck with the snow hanging around up there.

Brian, you should just take a road trip up here.... there's snow like 8 months out of the year and I've seen some good roads to go drifting on when my RX is done.... mmmm drifting. Gotta feed the monster somhow:D

Looks like lots of fun, I'm totally envious. We have a sweet snow trail by my house but it's been turned into solid 4 inch ice by the amount of traffic up and down it this month. It's too dangerous to attempt at the moment. Can't wait until we get more snow so I can make a trip up there with my camera.

We'll need to get together in the mountains then Jeremy, where the snow will be staying for a while. I should have my tires and rims mounted in a week or two.

 

 

WJM... the rims are just 15" Pug alloys, nothing special. Pix will come when they're mounted.
