Don't Try This With Your WRX STI!

Subaru WRX STI Bobsled Run
Not everyone can, or should, take their Subaru WRX STI down a bobsled run. It takes an expert, a big safety crew, multiple cameras and something loose in the head to make this happen. It's not meant to be, throwing a vehicle down a legitimate bobsled run, the oldest bobsled run in the world. You're going to get some dings!

Nerves of Steel Behind the Wheel

The driver's name is Mark Higgins. All we really need to know about Mark is, he's from the Isle of MAN. He's got spiked tires, a helmet and nerves of steel. The Subaru takes some damage along the way... Take a look! As you can see, the Subaru WRX STI received a few dings and dents along the way, but considering everything it went through, it's in amazing shape! Want to see the dings and other details about this run you should never attempt? The folks at CNET Road/Show have an article and photos. CNET Road/Show link.

Don't Do This!

Do we really need to point out that you shouldn't try this with your new Subaru? As rugged as they are, as great as they tackle the different weather in the Northeast, as sporty as they look and feel - driving your Subaru down a bobsled run ... that's just not a brilliant thing to do.

New Subaru TV Commercials feature The Barkleys

Who Let The Dogs Out...Back? That's right, the special family of dogs and some of their furry friends are back on TV. It's time for a new series of TV commercials for Subaru featuring everyone's favorite dogs - The Barkleys! Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Drop Off." In this commercial, the parents are dropping off the youngster for his first day of school. The commercials are a combination of funny and kind-of sad as the family sends Junior off to school for the first time, or takes the mud-covered Subaru to the doggy car wash. Dogs Don't Like Practical Jokes? In one of the commercials, it seems that Father Barkley is getting picked up from his latest bowling game. Seems like the perfect time to play a joke! But Mr. Barkley isn't in the mood for the classic joke in this TV commercial. Guess he didn't have a good game? Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Drive Away." In this commercial, one of The Barkleys is not in the mood for a practical joke when getting picked up from bowling night. At The Car Wash... Yeah! Probably one of the funniest this time around is the Subaru commercial at the car wash. It's a lot of team work between all these dogs, but it just doesn't make the Subaru as nice looking as it could. Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Car Wash." In this commercial, the Subaru needs a good cleaning and a group of dogs are ready to do the job. Just a Scratch. And The Barkleys are also teaching one of the youngsters how to drive their Subaru. But it seems no matter how old you might be, in dog years, it's pretty easy to be a distracted driver. Good thing they have a Subaru to keep them safe from distractions on the road. Screen capture from a Subaru commercial with The Barkleys, "Driving Lesson." In this commercial, it's time for the young Barkley to learn how to drive the Subaru. Behind The Scenes of a Subaru Commercial - Bonus Footage For fans of The Barkleys, we get some special Bonus Footage with an extra 60 seconds of fun with our furry friends. Screen capture from a behind-the-scenes video of the new series of Subaru commercials with the dog family "The Barkleys." We've loved The Barkleys and had fun with them since they first appeared. And we look forward to their next appearance on our TV screens in their Subaru.
