A couple months back, Amy and I got casted in a commercial for the new Subaru 2010 Legacy. I don’t know how else to put this: basically they were going to pay us all a good amount of cash to stand around as if we were at a typical Subaru meet. I guess the marketing folks at Subaru have a thing for the whole community aspect of owning a Subaru; kind of cool I guess. We each walked away $1200 less poor after 2 nights of standing around and eating free food somewhere in Long Beach.
I'd bent all 4 Advan wheels and was rolling on stock BBS for a while.
Honestly, I was stoked considering I’d just bent all of my wheels at Streets of Willow maybe a month prior and hadn’t located new wheels yet. This was before I’d upgraded to a Project Mu big brake kit, so I could still fit the stock wheels. Later on after the big brake kit, I could no longer fit stock wheels in the rear, but that’s another story. Anyway, Subaru made this YouTube video called “AWD For Life” and I happen to be in it here and there.
I’m the guy who says “With these cars they’re quick out of the box and if you want to make them even faster, it doesn’t take a lot.” At the time, I was still rocking Stage 2 (turboback exhaust and intake) but still managing a healthy 90whp gain over the factory. Since then I think I’m at 130 over the factory output and almost pushing 400wtq? Yeah, it’s quick alright! I think I’m past the “it doesn’t take a lot” though, oops. I can’t wait to get casted in another commercial or even a movie.
