The car chase sounds like a helluva story.
As for you Daily Driver, that car is a fun rocket. I have given though to acquiring one (including the Subaru-badged version). Your commute is a heckuva lock longer and more exciting than mine. Kudos to ya.
I will say that if I still lived in Seattle, I wouldn’t own this car. I could not really take advantage of why it’s fun. I feel like I am living the dream of a lot of car enthusiasts that like shows such as Top Gear. I’m doing a “road test” that looks remarkably like the ones they do EVERY SINGLE WORKDAY.
Maybe that’s why I only get 10-15k out of most sets of tires. I’m on my 7th now. :)
