Is this strictly a forum thing? I know a few people with subarus that aren't part of this forum that would probably go.

Heh, weird I just noticed that I don't lift my foot off the gas when I take corners either. I'd get mad understeer if I did that in my Civic though.

OK, so East Bay and Peninsula i say that we meet up at In-N-Out across from Oakridge at 10:30 and roll out from there. I'm not quite sure of the route we can take unless we are just meeting up with everyone in Watsonville.

With a big sway bar and the alk, I would let off just to make the back rotate just a little extra then jump back on the gas.
