Moon & Car
Here is a shot from below … The rest of the week we’re touching up the ice on the car to get it ready for its final images before departing from MTU. To begin winding down the adventure we’re planning a few talks & saying au revoir to our new friends in Houghton.

700bhp Fiesta heads to X Games
Back in May, we reported with mildly delirious excitement that Ford’s 700bhp Fiesta Rallycross was tackling the terrifying Pike’s Peak hillclimb.
And now Ford has announced that the mad-hot Fiesta will compete in this year’s X Games, in the hands of Tanner Foust - the X Games legend who dumped Jenson Button out of last year’s Race of Champions - along with esteemed driving chaps Kenny Brack and Brian Deegan.
2009 will mark the 15th year of the X Games, but the Fiesta will be the first car to compete in the stunt competition. It’ll be interesting to see whether the talented Mr Foust can keep 700bhp of turbocharged madness under control around the X Games’ tight, winding course.
Never heard of the X Games? Well, we can’t possibly explain it as succinctly as this video of the awesome Colin McRae back in 2006. Enjoy…

Why choose a Specialist over a Generalist? Independent over Dealer?
As a specialist we know your car better, especially when it comes to the right way to make economical repairs that a general repair shop wouldn’t know about or a Subaru dealer would never consider. Sometimes a vehicle will develop a pattern failure and a real solution needs to be found or a more economical repair procedure can be had.
Through the years we have found solutions to replacing expensive parts by making repairs to existing components rather than just blindly install new ones. We have been able to become very good at repairs and service work by specializing in Subaru and we try to share this experience with our customer with lower labor prices.
We know what parts we can use on your Subaru without sacrificing longevity. Most automakers have become pure design and assemble companies leaving the parts manufacture to other companies. These auto parts companies are free to sell the same parts in aftermarket channels with out the Subaru logo. While in some cases in only makes sense to stick with Subaru parts especially when it comes to slower moving items that may have not been introduced in the aftermarket by the companies that originally made the parts for Subaru. There is also a good chance that the exact replacement part can be found at a 20% savings if you know how to look (we do).
From top to bottom we really know your Subaru well and want to help you get as many trouble free miles out of it as possible. We have seen these cars go well over 300k and I am the owner of a 1992 Legacy with 292k and counting. We take pride in servicing cars with higher miles and often have suggestions to help keep them going. Even though your Subaru may be getting up there in miles don’t discount just how long they will run.

2010 Porsche Panamera S & Turbo Test Drive: Brash Four-Door Fills Out Porsche Lineup
Eco-Muscle
Almost everyone agrees that hybrid cars are the next big step on our way to an all-electric future. But what if we use two parallel powertrains, gas and electric, to drive a full size car? That way, we can offer the muscular V8 performance that buyers crave, yet still produce zero emissions around town.
