Cool, the Ring. Where do you think Subaru does all their handling development?

Do you remember the 80's when the quote was "The yuppies all drive 'Buru's and Bimmers" ? Hehe, I was just reminded of that the other day.

Ya Yuppie, you!

Non-paved driveways?

Here's a video of a WRX at the Ring from an Impreza club guy: http://208.184.121.11/i-club/STi5TypeRARing2Sept2002.mpg

*Edit*
Sumbish is pretty quick.

Excuse me? A Bimmer with 189,000 miles on it is what SOLD me on their product. I used to think folks just bough them for a status symbol like my friend Funked until one day a friend dropped it off over a week-end while he borrowed my truck..the first day of driving this car quality slapped me in the face compared to its American counter-part, then 2nd day I looked at the odometer thinking it had probably less than 30,000 on it, I was shocked to see 189,000 miles. I asked my friend what had been done to it (he was the 2nd owner) He replied "Brakes, Oil, usual wear and tear stuff."

Edit: You may have been speaking of the "Beemer" motorcycle. Beemers are motorcycles, "Bimmers" are automobiles.
