    Cause my dad had one. :P

    Add: sry, hit post before i was done.

    When my cruddy Z24 was totaled in NJ back in '92, I had taken my dad's Typhoon to Jersey to get me through till spring, when I would get out of school and hopefully get a new ride. Even with BF all all seasons on it, it stayed parked in nearly all snows. It would sit and spin all 4's. Not the best AWD system I had ever lived with. My roommate would drive us to school in his Dodge Colt. >.<

    Got my Amigo soon after and life was good again.

    Maybe we should start a thread category for Subaru bashing/promoting? Seems like I keep seeing the same basic off-topic posts appear over and over again in a bunch of different threads.

    Did anyone notice the links posted in the ebay auction for the superman VX? One of them links to a video of Kasia. She's famous! LOL.

    Back on topic, the vehicle in the original post is a heavily modified Axiom. It was built by Mike Goldin who owns a subaru shop near where I live in Aurora. http://www.summitauto.us/

    He also has a modified subi forrester and he's taken both of them to Moab a few times. Here is the cardomain page for Yurchalka http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2477601
    thanks for the info...i figured someone would have to know something about it

    ahh...like wormgod said, different applications...
    i've been stressing over and over again that i need something to 1. carry my 150lb dog in. 2. something that can get me around, year round. 3. can still be quick and fun to drive...
    so...i love the STI

    Jack, I am glad the new STI is a hatchback...hahahahahahahahahahaha, at least it can haul a lot of groceries now.....

    I don't know how I missed this thread, thanks to Riffraff for pointing it out for me...
    yup, and my dog...and my snowboard...and my friends...and still haul @$$

When you own a vehicle like the VehiCROSS - a jack of all trades, master of none - it is just natural for the mid-range owners to lash out at the rigs atop the pedestal of those sports... dare I say the VX is a rare mix of those vehicles among two kingdoms, dominated separately, by Subaru and Jeep. Yes, I dare...
    hmm...to each their own huh?
