High Speed + Snow Tires = FAIL

One of our readers tipped us off on a post they found over at the FinalGear forums. Apparently, a friend of a FinalGear member was driving late at night, and swerved to avoid a deer. The outcome? The car hit two tress, flipped twice, and everyone survived.

The driver of the car had a harness bar installed, and claims that it worked wonders in helping him and his co-occupants survive. We’re not really sure how much just a harness bar would truly help, but at lease they’re ok.

I’ve decided to post this up, just because it goes to show how tough these STi’s truly are. I’ve attached a number of pictures taken by the driver, which were posted to his Photobucket account.

I’m still pondering a couple of things though…

Why is the car wearing Bridgestone Blizzak Winter Tires?
Did our driver really try to avoid a deer, or did we just encounter some lift-off oversteer while running out of road?

PDE website using illegal software?

Shortly after posting up my previous article on the PDE camber plates, I noticed that the PDE website appears to be using illegal software.

It appears the site is using an illegal warez software copy of CubeCart, which is an online shopping cart system. This can be figured out from seeing the “[iAG] Nulled 2008″ line in both their page title and footer of their website. (iAG is a popular online piracy group, and nulled means the software has been modified to circumvent the requirement of a serial number)

Their website is: http://www.pde-usa.com

Painting + Tape + Hood

NASIOC member REX8 was walking in Philadelphia on his lunch break when he spotted an interesting sight: A painting duct-taped to the hood of a Subaru 2.5RS. We really can’t explain this one, and so far no one has taken the claim to fame in the NASIOC thread.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but sometimes we don’t always know what those words are…
