what kind of vids can you create with an Outback 2.5 non-turbo? You can't hear the damn things, they are slow and handling isn't the greatest.

I've driven two of them (courtesy cars when getting the WRX serviced) and fell asleep at the wheel both times.

I wasn't actually expecting an "I live in the supercars world" answer.

I mean I don't know what kind of cars you are used to drive, but not all of us are that lucky.

What's more, I've heard nothing but good reports on the outback so somebody has to say something nice 'bout it.

Oh they are good cars for certain purposes I suppose, but you're unlikely to get "cool vidz" of an Outback for the reasons I mentioned. Its not exactly the type of car that makes the owner think "awesome, I'm going down to the carpark to make some vids of my car...."

I've driven Ferraris etc. but even if I hadn't I don't think it would change my thoughts.

Its a Subaru though so I should be supporting it.

I can't say I actually know anyone who owns one. Not exactly the most popular of vehicles.

A lady I work with has one actually now that I think about it, maybe I'll ask her if she'll come a vacant lot and let me video her doing some 'nuts in it.

There's an AAMI ad where the woman's Outback gets bashed by the garage door when the baby son closes it on the bonnet.
