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.
