1994 Subaru : SVX

Is Ca$h still around?

bad_quote · Oct 10, 2005, 09:15 PM

Bastard. The car is probably ruined.

Here, buy my car. It's been kind of beat up and unsafe since 1994, but at least it runs.

Plus it was on TV!

Unsafe since 94?

Tesseract · Oct 10, 2005, 10:44 PM

oh, um, oops. the car is a '94. I guess the date of the crash wasn't actually specified.

Kevin · Oct 10, 2005, 11:59 PM

That car is a dangerous vehicle.

I think they need to be taken off the road.

I hope I don't have nightmares tonight.

I saw that live. The part on the golf course looked pretty fun.

The police are (were) thinking about charging the guy in the gray Suburban (civilian).

If he was a civilian, without police authority, he should be charged with something. He could have caused an accident, trying to take the law in his own hands.

Just watched the local KING5 news, the seller was using a 17-inch PowerBook G4.

He was a civilian. I understand the risks and I know that many cops were probably pissed, but the news also said many cops were rooting for the civilian. I don't think he'll be charged. I think he learned his lesson.

If I had the same type of vehicle and my wife wasn't with me, I might have done the same thing.

So darn weird.

bad_quote · Oct 11, 2005, 10:48 PM

the civilian in the stupid SUV shouldn't have done ****, because it was an SVX. They're expensive and rare and I'm sure the owner didn't appreciate some jackass with penile inadequacy attempting to prove why he 'needs' his SUV by ramming his stolen car.

bad_quote · Oct 11, 2005, 10:50 PM

.. it was funny to see it pulling away from the cop cars, and out manuvering SUVs and offroading though. AWD suckas!

the_glassman · Oct 11, 2005, 10:52 PM

anyone have a vid?

bad_quote · Oct 11, 2005, 10:54 PM

I do. Hold on.

No footage of the fence crash though.

Better video here.

DAMN that guy was hauling ass. He must have been going over 120 easy.

bad_quote · Oct 11, 2005, 11:01 PM

ahahahah "In his Subaru SVX, a very fast car...t hat I might add is very difficult to catch"

Bhahahahaha. These guys probably had no idea wtf one was before this chase.

Doofy · Oct 11, 2005, 11:03 PM

Anyone have a vid which doesn't contain the letters "wmv"?

Never mind - Cash put a better one up.

bad_quote · Oct 11, 2005, 11:15 PM

Poor thing.

The owner is posting on the SVX network, he's pretty bummed. He spent 6 months looking for one in the color and condition he wanted, and had to import it from canada. Had the kilometer cluster changed to mph, that sorta thing. Now his insurance company only wants to give him $3000 to get another one. YEAH RIGHT. Try to find an SVX that isnt' a total peice of **** for 3 grand.

So anyway, that's why it's on ebay. He's just trying to get enough money to afford another SVX. Poor guy.

Kevin · Oct 12, 2005, 06:55 AM

Yeah I would have bought something faster.

Goldfinger · Oct 12, 2005, 11:08 AM

Hmm that persuit was really weird. He took a LONG time and was pretty relaxed to brake into the SVX and get away with it. Then why the hell was he talking to that person when coming out of the parking lot ? What a retard. And when the suburban touches the SVX the SVX touches some other car but that third car just keeps on driving, what the hell is up with that ? I would have stopped and give the Suburban driver a serious whoopin.

I gotta give it to ya, you have one hell of a road infrastructure to run from cops. Over here something like this is next to impossible.

The dumbass thief stopped to ask to use somebody's cell phone.... not sure what he was going to do with it exactly. The suburban was some dumbass civilian 'trying to help', but basically just ramming the SVX for no reason since he was hitting it in the back. If you want to stop a car, you ram right behind the rear wheel sideways to pull a pitt maneuver, not just ram the back of a rare car. Stupid SUV driving moron. Hopefully he'll be charged, we'll see.

bad_quote · Oct 12, 2005, 11:46 PM

Jeez bids are up to 5 grand now. Maybe I should trash mine and put it on ebay. Or not.

Kevin · Oct 13, 2005, 07:02 AM

Rob do you have dreams at night where you wake up sweating saying this very thing?

Stupid SUV driving moron. Hopefully he'll be charged,
