Awesome Pics Dave! that last one! UNREAL!
*Raises Hand*
Your Subaru/Evo fetish is showing hard – today isn’t necessarily a strong example, but it’s coming out!
That sideways open wheeler is just plain awesome
hand up WIN!!!!
Jay fwd is kinda boring, RWD is rad but I have had it, awd is uncharted and therefore interesting territory for me 🙂
Glad to see someone else shares my sideways open wheel fetish as well.
@Dave – Sure, but c’mon man you know you love the rare platforms! I’d buy a Mazdaspeed 6 over the Suby/Evo trend any day. 😛 On that note, dig up some cool MS6s and do a feature. I know, I don’t ask for much.
I want a Subie too!
I might have a couple sixes saved already…
