Alex C Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Im reading "Riding on the edge" by Dave barr. While he was in southern south america he got a lift from a guy with a subura truck (his spelling, I guessed he meant subaru, cause it is closer to subaru then suburban, and has similar phonetics). Alex P.S. I will never ride my motorcycle across africa, or south america, much less the world. Still inspiring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldDiggerRoo Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I guess it's kinda related. I was at the bookstore the otherday and was looking thru "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Kiedis (lead singer of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and he had a photo or him with black eyes and stuff with a caption that said something about being drunk and wrecking his moms Subaru when he was younger.

nomica Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 This an excerpt from Blowout by Catherine Coulter (released 2004): When there was a sudden pop, loud as a shotgun blast, he flung himself to the side in automatic reaction. The pop was followed by the hard slap of rubber against the asphalt. A blowout, a damned blowout. The Subaru's steering wheel jerked in his hands as the car's back end lurched wildly to his left. He gently eased the car into the skid and let up on the accelerator, but the Subaru's momentum lunged it into a snowbank. Despite his seatbelt, his head slammed against the steering wheel, stunning him for a moment. Then everything was quiet. Savich raised his head, shook it, hoped he hadn't hurt himself, and slowly climbed out of the car. The back driver's-side tire had blown. All in all, he preferred the snowbank to going through the guardrail. He buttoned up his coat, wrapped his scarf tight about his neck, and cleared snow from beneath the left front wheel. Satisfied, he climbed back in and put the gear in reverse. The Subaru hardly hesitated, just backed right out, leaning heavily to the left. Savich climbed out again and collected the spare tire and jack. He called Sherlock, told her what had happened, told her he'd be about twenty minutes late.

Alex C Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 wow, a whole excert. So does the subaru save the day? or was it only a small piece of drama? BTW, Clark used a subaru wagon to cart the laser designator around in Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" book. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 wow, a whole excert. So does the subaru save the day? or was it only a small piece of drama? BTW, Clark used a subaru wagon to cart the laser designator around in Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" book. Alex Clark.. He's such a BADA@@. Especially in "Without Remorse" when he stuck the guy in the hypoberic chamber to get info out of him. Pure meanness. Hope he treated his Soob better.
