Drift on the Beach!
By Karan Singh
StreetFire.net
Every once in a while I get an inclination to go to the beach like the guys in this video. The only difference is that I can’t drive my car out onto the sands of Santa Monica and drift around like the Subarus and Evos in this video! They must be at a dog beach though because there are entirely too many dogs running around!

Ken Block Falls on Hard Times. Forced to Sell Infamous Gymkhana STI
By John Naderi
StreetFire.net
We found this thread on VW Vortex. Maybe Ken Block has not sufficiently wowed his new Ford partners enough as of yet. Perhaps the economic downturn has slowed the sale of DC Shoes and flat-brimmed hats. Maybe his upcoming gymkhana event series couldn’t find funding (uh, what we mean is, what gymkhana event series?).
Maybe this Craig’s List post is a joke. Maybe it was all just a dream. And maybe, just maybe, this seller is serious. Maybe he – yes, he, because there is no way a woman would do this to her car – is on drugs. Perhaps he’s on some medical grade nitrous, or meth, or maybe even something that we don’t know about. Maybe something that would require an ice cube up the butt. But then, Coyle is only one who would know anything about that.
All we have to say is that to be truly ironic this seller should have applied KB’s Subaru livery to a Ford Escort wagon. Get it? On second thought, it doesn’t get much more hi-lar-ious than the green underglow and hidden trailer hitch. That is, unless you were to release a remix of the original Gymkhana video, with machine guns and Sid and Marty Kroft explosive effects. Yes, that would rock us like a hurricane.

RC Cars Look Seriously Cool In Ultra Slow-Mo
By Jen Dunnaway
Editor
If you’ve ever gotten a chance to go over one of these pro-quality RC cars up close, you’ve been amazed by how precisely the components mimic their full-sized corollaries–it’s like all your favorite car parts only smaller!–so I guess it’s no surprise that, weird body-panel distortion aside, these tiny rides appear to behave exactly the way full-grown vehicles do when you slow them down enough to really be able to see what’s going on when you slam them around. Enjoy the show–the footage toward the end of the baja cars playing in the puddles is worth holding out for.

An Education on Ice
By Ryan Douthit
Drivingsports.com
There’s been some debate on the “YouTubes” regarding my ability to handle a car on ice. Recently, Subaru gave me an opportunity to put these critics to rest by reviewing my techniques with a bona-fide expert in the field.
My mentor would be none other than John Haugland, an instructor at the Norwegian Winter Rally School in Norway, where he has had such star pupils as Petter Solberg and Richard Burns, among others. Our classroom would be a custom-built ice-racing circuit, along with a set of various Subaru Impreza models.
Now, keep in mind, the techniques we’re covering today are specifically for competitive driving only. You really shouldn’t be yanking the handbrake as you enter the local school driveway. Not cool. Continue reading after the jump!
