September 29, 200817 yr Some people have cars and some people go through some things that make their cars more like friends. This is how my friend started out... Bought it at auction for $1400.00 and drove it on the trailer. Then to this... Many rallycrosses and adventures later I have grown to trust this "car" with my life. Finally... My daugther was driving in a rallycross. One bad corner with too much speed and time stopped as I watched her and her friend go over. The single scariest moment in my life. But, my friend kept her and her friend safe and uninjured. I have some other pics I will add as well to show how much these cars can actually handle. Goodbye friend...
September 29, 200817 yr The single scariest moment in my life. and understandably so! I know how you feel. boy was it hard to watch my Chuxwagon leave, especially knowing that the guy that bought it crashed his last sooby into a fence post :-\
September 29, 200817 yr That's tough. At least everybody was okay. I've come to regard my rigs in much the same light...I trust my Legacy more than I trust most people.
November 17, 200817 yr wow, i remember seeing you and your sooby at many a ORG rally cross events. Its a sad day when a sooby dies. But at least it made the sacrifice and kept everyone safe and unharmed. What's the next project?
November 17, 200817 yr glad to hear that everyone is ok, the car did what it was designed to do, race in rallies and save lives.
November 17, 200817 yr i had a chance to ride it that bad boy wcss9 won the ride on a raffle was sad to hear of the loss at wcss10
November 19, 200817 yr Man that sucks, but I'm glad your daughter and her friend are okay, cars are a whole lot easier to repair than people, and unlike people, they can be replaced. (looks like a lot of parts are still good too, so your next rally project might be cheaper!
November 19, 200817 yr It's sad about the car, but there will be another. I'm glad to hear that your daughter and friend are ok! cause those are irreplacable.
November 21, 200817 yr Nice action shot! I still say it shoulda been me that killed that thing. Or at least the trans. Or something. . . Guess Ken's daughter beat you to it:drunk:
November 21, 200817 yr 'Tis a sad day when such a 'friend' expires. Glad to hear the occupants made it out okay. Are we going to see a part-out thread?
March 4, 201016 yr It lives! Tiny photo on the cover of this month's Grassroots Motorsports, and in the rallycross feature on page 87.
March 4, 201016 yr Author Indeed, I was called by a couple of people! Looking for a couple copies right now!
March 4, 201016 yr Indeed, I was called by a couple of people! Looking for a couple copies right now!Fred Myer carries GSM in their magazine section. This issue will hit the stands in about two weeks.
March 5, 201016 yr many thoughts here, the kids are ok, the car looked really cool after all your work and even though it's gone now, it's been 'immortalized' in a magazine? that's like one major bummer and two happy endings can't beat that
