Ever heard of DC Shoes? Those punky looking skate goths at the mall wear ‘em. Apparently the fellow that runs the company is quite the adrenaline junkie and a crackerjack rally car driver.
This month he managed to jump a Subaru rally car like 200 feet or something insane. Check the whole story (with pics!!) on 0-60mag.com
**UPDATE** I hope you tuned in, the stunt premiered tonite on the Discovery Channel.
Check out the Vermont Sports Car rally page for cool pics. (Cool site, too, actually.)
Autoblog has some shite ‘Tube video.
AND there’s some decent video and behind the scenes on Discovery Channel’s Official Site.

What year? You don’t have one of those bug eye ones do ya?
I was specifically thinking of getting an STi or an Evo to tear ass around dirt roads like Tommi or Colin and take jumps.

I’ve got a black 2005 STI. And a black 2004 Supercharged Nissan Xterra, kick the shit out of them both and they ask for more
they’re great for rippin around in snow/dirt. Oh and the gas mileage sucks on both! 16-18mpg
An EVO would have been my first choice but I live in Canada and they don’t sell the damn things here although they are coming next year I believe, they had to change the bumper setup to protect the front mounted intercooler in low speed front end crash tests.
Due to the intercooler placement and a few other things the EVO’s arent as well suited for off-road out of the showroom but I just think they look better.

The Evo situation is only fair as you had the WRX years before us down here.
I think if I do go that route I’ll take the Sti as the 2.5 liter engine seems a little stronger to me.
