I was working Operations on the Elk Complex fire in Siskiyou County, California in 2007...

Bad year on fire and no rental trucks available when I flew in... SO... I got issued a Subaru Impreza WRX.

The boss sent me out to run the ring road around the fire (150+/- miles (IIRC) of logging roads around that fire).

I ran that that damn rental Subaru like a raped ape... air-born Baja chit.

FUGG IT WAS FUN.

Damn thing held up pretty well. and I abused the crap out of that car.

I have no idea on longevity, but for what they are (AND brand new)... damn impressive.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
