Subaru marketing is making its way into news articles.

I'm supprised it didn't say "Turbo-charged WRX with symetrical AWD and a 4 star crash rating"

I want to know how the hell the cops ran him down at that speed, I don't think a crown vic could hit 145, esp w/ a 4 speed automatic . . . maybe the cop was in an SRT lol

I don't know about anywhere else but the rumor around Jersey is that a cop isn't allowed to do over 100 mph to chase you because then he is recklessly driving also. And also here, double the speed limit is a loss of license for about 6 months. I hate New Jersey....
