H2O International is a gigantic annual car show in Maryland that’s known for three things: 1) the world’s lowest and most ridiculously built show cars all in one place, 2.) hoonage and debauchery that makes a frat party look tame, and 3.) more ticketing and impounding by Ocean City Police Department than you can ever…
Yes, believe it or not, the question is regarding my bagged 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo, the one I had the audacity to compare to a 2016 STI. It’s a truck, kind of—less so since I got my hands on it—but can it tow stuff? Specifically, can it tow my drift car?
For a guy who’s only real experience behind the wheel was the occasional “high-spirited” driving on the roads of Long Island, drifting is one helluva sport to jump into. Combine that with the fact that the only real mechanical background I have thus far is what some would consider to be that of a “Subie Destroyer,”…
A few months ago, Akira Nakai-san was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania building the latest Rauh-Welt Begriff Porsche for Porsche enthusiast, Ben Harmony. The newest addition to the fleet, known as “Prince”, took a surprising two days to finish (he typically completes builds in three) and was the first Porsche to receive…
If you’re a Subaru enthusiast and you weren’t at Wicked Big Meet on June 12th, well, you missed a helluva show. With an attendance record of over 7,500 people, the event continues to be the largest Subaru gathering in the world. But have no fear, because tomorrow is Big Northwest, Subie Events LLC’s West Coast version.
Ever since I started filming Formula Drift races, my mother, Amy Werman from our Worst Car Stories series, always joked about getting a ride-along with a professional drift racer. Here’s what happened when I got her one.
As the Baja gets reassembled, I can’t help but get pumped to drive it up to Wicked Big Meet this Sunday. This will be my third year going, and this time I’ll be covering the event for Jalopnik.
Did you honestly think I was going to leave it red? See just how many commenters asked if it was, in fact, staying that color.
While other New York Auto Show people were going to lame parties, legendary tuner Akira Nakai built one of his famous RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF Porsche 911s at the HQ of The Drive in Brooklyn. I went there to to check it out, and I got a nice blast of noise.
Amidst all of the Facebook Live broadcasts we’ve been doing here at the New York Auto Show, we couldn’t help but salivate over all the gorgeous Skylines Nissan has on display.
I have loved cars since I could talk, and I’ve loved Subarus almost as long. I love them so much that I daily-drive one of the wildest and worst Subies in New York—a bagged and stanced 2005 Baja Turbo. But when I talked my way into a brand new 2016 WRX STI, there was only one question. How does a modern, proper,…
As a younger man, I spent a lot of time around modified Subarus. I gained a great deal of knowledge and experience (or so I thought) to the point where I decided to attempt motor swap. I parked my car in my mother’s garage for what I thought would be the very last time it would ever be naturally-aspirated. Boy was I…
How in the world can I possibly compare this crazy stanced and bagged Subaru Baja to the new 2016 Subaru WRX STI? Find out soon in my upcoming article.
