EchoBooming in Birmingham

The BDSM (Birmingham Drunken Scooby Modders) crew went to huntsville this weekend little Rally-X action.

new pic!

I must say this is my most favorite thing to do in a car, nothing beats an AWD drift on dirt.

All of us were n00bs to this form of motorsport but we didn’t do to bad. Three of us had a 1 2 3 finish in our class, and a 3 4 5 finish over all. We showed them all the Beauty of Subaru All Wheel Drive

Rally on!

Tonight I get the pleasure of a 24 hour test drive from Jim Burke Subaru.

I will be taking home a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT Limited similar to the one below:

Now for those of you that think I’m getting soft in my old age by thinking of driving a wagon, know this:
250HP 250lb/ft of All Wheel Drive Fury is hiding under that tame wagon facade…..

The only drawback is that Jim Burke only has an automatic in stock… Now there’s no way I’ll be buying an automatic, but it’s worth a test drive anyway …

Until then…
