    I had fun driving out there... The drive home was not very fun though... for all who was with our group driving home... im home now the car stayed with the old man and its getting towed to Morries on monday... hopfully. And for the next people to read this, what happened was i bottomed out the tranny on the hwy 60 road... and sprayed two WRXs and 1 1/2 miles of roadway with tranny fluid...

    I want to know how it could have bottomed out when there wasnt any big bumps. At least everyone made it home without crashing.

    I cant believe that Jason didnt hit it then, although Jasons car was probably higher on the side that the bump was on. Was the bump on a corner?

    someone was selling a EJ18 for like $200 in the F/S sectio ndo a search it should come up.

    It sucks to hear about the tranny. Its really strange that you hit the tranny pan, i have never heard of that gettign destroyed before. it might be time to invest in a skid plate. pretty sure mine has saved my tranny some undo harm.

    I made it back safely, this was a GREAT event. huge thanks to everyone involved (mainly Josh and Russ). It was very impressive seeing such a huge line of subarus. I am sure this photos will make nasioc/ other huge clubs ripe with envy.

    Other than your tranny problem I would have to say that on the way home was fun going around those turns/curves.

    I was thinking that getting some mini-cruises together somewhat frequently for local-ish country drives would be super-sweet :biggrin:

    This was an absolute fantastic event!

    We had six cars from the Rochester contingent....and we should have had more. We will next time.

    Really appreciate all the work that it took to put this together!

    i was one of the 2 cars sprayed. Was a fun drive right up till then! Good luck with the car! I think the old guy will shoot anyone that gets close to the car, or you if you dont have a white flag up when you get close to his property. Was nice of him though and i dont think your dropping fertilizer onto his grass! Btw, when it happened so much smoke appeared that I though there was an accident with tires locking up that I slammed the breaks myself.

    This event was great! I was so surprised to the amount of people that showed. Great job at picking a location that held us all in just perfectly! Way to go Josh and MN SUBARU!

    Great event, thanks to Josh and everyone.
    Who else was involved in the near pile-up after the second photo shoot? We went from 50 to 0 in about 10 feet. The car in front of me went left, I went right and the car behind us tucked in between, all while full slamming on the brakes. No way did I think we were getting out of that with no damage. Its that good Subaru brakes and handling (and good driving)!
