    So on Friday, November 27th, a group of friends and I decided to go for a cruise up to Mt. Baker and have some fun in the snow and possibly sled a little.

    It was a gorgeous drive! Save for a couple icy spots, the roads were clear -- it was nothing our superior AWD systems couldn't handle though :p

    Some of these pictures are from my D60, some from Paul's 7D, and some from Bryan's 20D.

    Then we meet up with the other car and grab some coffee and drive up. Not many driving pictures.

    Nice pics! I wish I could shoot pics like that.

    I think it's funny when people load up the car with stickers of stuff they have on/in the car. It's like a shopping list for people who wanna steal your stuff. I wouldn't be surprised that when it gets broken into someday, that there are going to be checkmarks next to each of the stickers to make sure they got everything.

    The owner of the RS is incredibly anal about how he stores/keeps and protects his car. It's kept in a locked garage with a security system and cameras. When we're out and about he hardly lets it out of his view. He has a very redundant alarm system with paging and GPS tracking.

    It's pretty nuts, but he loves it.

    He has a crazy swapped ready to go for it -- but no time with his insane work schedule. The suspension in it is already nuts, it just needs more zoom!

    Is it gonna be a 2.2L or the ej20?

    EJ257. Sleeved to a 2.7L. LOL. I think he's going to put a smaller turbo on it for insane quick spool and response. He doesn't want high numbers, just a fun car for Auto-X and mountain runs. It's not his DD.

    This thing is gonna be an auto x monster! If I were older I would do about the same thing. As you can tell from my screen name, I am a Subaru fanboy haha. GC8 is my absolute favorite, but there aren't enough good ones to buy. I also can't afford to have a project car right now. I'm aiming for an MR2 SW20 turbo now.

    Awesome! Yeah, we're pretty much the only local subaru modders who aren't ricing out to hell and know what we're doing. Just a small handful of us. The silver wagon has a VF34 and is just a hair slower than me.

    The guy with the GC8 is bringing a v6 spec RA over to be his new track @#$#@

    Man, when I can comfortably afford things like that, I could easily pass on a porsche or Ferrari to be 16 years old again.

    The roar of 3 modded subarus up a mountain is a wonderful thing! I wish we had a soundclip of it. Mine is definitely the loudest, haha.

    Cool pictures, that picture of the bird looked good, capturing pictures of snow is actually a bit tough, it's not as easy as you'd think. Getting that white balance is tricky sometimes.
