Drifting + Jeep = Rollover.

Mr Block is quite the driver. I'd love to have that Subaru.

No I can't drift in mine. I associate subaru with strictly off roading. That and getting groceries. Love rally races either way. Its the cameramen that gets hit all the time I feel bad for. They really need to invest in deer stands for those close up shots.

You left out embarassing 2 wheel drive cars.  The world is not 1/4 mile long, its not all paved and it is not all straight.

I looooooooooooooooooooove Jeeps too!  I had a '03 TJ and a '87 XJ.  I really miss my TJ.  I'm currently looking for another one.  Nothing like having the top down and doors off. :aok

Is it just me or is the engine horribly unresponsive in the second one? Sounds like it spends much over half the time either hitting the rev limiter or coughing.

I have a 2006 tj 65th Ann ed. 4inch teeraflex long arm lift with belly up plate. Snorkel, syekit, and a lot of extras. I had it a week before hitting the trail. My wif has a 4door 07 with dick cepeck crushers on a sahara. It looks mean without the top on. Mine is under repair right now. Tcase seal and rear driveshaft are messed up. Neither are mall crawlers. Want to lift the 07 but then it won't fit under the garage door when its time to turn wrenches. Mine barely fits.

It's a rally car.  The turbo/supercharger setup is made to keep things spooled almost permanently.

 :rofl Nice flamebait.

The last time Audi won any kind of WRC championship was 1984.  That was only because THE MAN Stig Blomqvist was behind the wheel.  He later saw the light and switched to driving and winning in..............Subaru WRXs.

Again with the Jeep  :lol  I love Jeeps too, but Subarus and Jeeps are two completely different worlds.  Trying to run a WRC course in a Jeep would end in disaster and embarrassment.  About as quickly as it would if you tried to rock crawl with a Subaru WRX.

Both awsome vehicles, but purpose-built.

Ahh, finally a place to post my first bumper sticker:
