Talking COPS convinced my girl friend about the WRX wagon.

Yes! No! Yes but … damn! Umm… let me explain.

My girl friend called me at work to tell me that she saw an episode of cops in which 12 year old was being chanced by cops, he was in a WRX wagon. She was impressed as it ate up ‘off-road’ (gravel I think), the cop on the dash cam said something like ‘damn, we’ll never get him now’. They caught the boy after he managed to get his car stuck dangling over a ravine. She said that if we have to get a wagon (when/if married) she is all for the WRX.

YES! She likes it. NO! Bad little boy! Bad, bad little boy! Yes! The WRX makes professionals (cops) worry about its abilities. No! The WRX makes professionals (cops) worry about its abilities. Hence, ‘Damn!’ but still Yes!

thats funny...I've always wondered what the outcome would be if somebody had, say, an STi in a car chase...it'd outperform the cops both on AND offroad.

I wish I could be in a car chase sometimes, but without all the bad things like jail or death

Well, it was close to quitting time and a day for software testing can have ill affects on your ability to formulate coherent thoughts. I was feeling good because the story really shows how well designed the car is, but I don’t like the idea of cops eyeing me more because my car (someday soon I hope) is hard to catch. I don’t like that kind of attention.

flow of consciousness writing...i like. i enjoy reading "raw" composition, prose before it has been formulated and rehashed.

now go out there and get a wagon! just stay away from the bling bling blues b/c you will be spotted in the pack.

Imagine if there is a skilled driver behind the wheel. I think being in a car chase would be the so much fun, but then again, maybe I've played too much grand theft auto...

That's why Tokyo Metro PD and a few other departments use R34GT-R's and STi Versions
