Stupid ass rollover BS.


At least the Toyota will still run after you flip it.

Yet another reason I bought a Subaru!

I'd rather trust a redneck with an IQ of a rabbit then those guys. After what they did to my vehicle they can burn in hell. O ya, I said it. Bring it.

Since always. :wtfru:

They are part of the Fuji Heavy Industries.

Fun fact:
Subaru:
Adopted in March 1958, Subaru refers to a group of stars also known by its original Japanese name, mutsura-boshi, or series of six stars. This group of stars-known in Western countries as the Pleiades-belongs to the Taurus constellation and is the basis of the Subaru trademark. Subaru automobiles were the first to bear a name derived from the Japanese language.


You are probably thinking that because of the Subaru OUTBACK, they were associated with the Outback of Australia...no?

wow. I'm an idiot. lmao

then again I never followed subaru's country of origin either. I just know they're cool cars.

Wasn't the reason we bought the Subie, but makes us even more satisfied with our choice. :dthumb:

I'm sure the next owner will be happy about that after they put the former owner in a box.

I find it mildly humorous that people on a motorcycle forum are discussing the safety of vehicles. :lol:

I was looking for stats on the rollover protection of my Busa. Apparently it is not all that good either, but it does rank above Toyota.:?:
