Subaruist Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 When I was busy mis-spending my youth, I pulled a lot of stuff that should have landed me in jail or in a morgue... Every now and then, I wonder about how the hell I got away with such stuff, and often pulled right out in the open. Something that stands out, can be seen from a distance, even involving large reflective street signs, lol... How the hell did I get away with that stuff?!? But now... now I am not the mis-spent youth, and I have been having far too much fun with my Brat, even running with a really bad/loud exhaust leak... On one hand, I seem to have always had some knack for pulling stunts and minor traffic abominations, vehicle mods and such, and getting away with it, and never getting caught,- ever. On the other hand, although I am technically a very safe driver (a matter of opinion if you ask former passengers, lol) I have been pulling some of the same maneuvers I used to, with a really loud exhaust leak, and still not getting caught... Yeah, I know, its only a matter of time, right?.... - So far in total, about 20-30 years and counting, lol... But its not that, its not fear of getting caught, but wonderment, amazement at how I have never been busted for my fun in a Subaru... I cannot help but feel the same thing that I have known so many times in so many ways... That sometimes, in inexplicable or incomprehensible ways, something can be greater than the sum of its parts, and if there is any truth to that whatsoever, then old Subaru's are definitely greater than the sum of thier parts. I can't explain how that would apply to this subject, but my gut tells me that it does, and its my gut that gets nervous when I start pushing it too far, and has never let me down... - and the same about my Brats! How the hell do I get away with this crap? I dunno, but I'm glad that I do! lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
