Subarus in the local news.

Rally wannabe kid breaks his Subie thru ice practicing his drifting to be a "rallier."

Dumb kid?  I see a ton of posts on here about doing this in parking lots.  Champlain region has been much colder for longer than it has been around here.  and breaking through within 10' of shore isn't like he dropped the car through in the middle of the lake. 

Other than possibly unrealistic expectations of sponsorship and the same rally dreams that many of us here have, I see this as more responsible than drifting on public roads in the winter or even a parking lot.

Trooper Jamo received a third party report of a crashed and unoccupied vehicle on the dead end portion of the old Rt. 26 in New Gloucester. Upon arrival, Tr. Jamo learned that someone had crashed a white Subaru Forrester through the wooden barricade after accelerating down the dead end road. Tr. Jamo towed and placed a hold on the vehicle pending contact with the driver. As expected, the 47 year old registered owner called around 1400 hours the next day to report the vehicle stolen. After Tr. Jamo met with the subject and listened to numerous comical inconsistencies with his story, the male finally admitted to driving and crashing the vehicle after leaving the Eagle’s Nest bar in New Gloucester. Tr. Jamo cited the male for leaving the Scene of a Property Damage Crash & Failure to Report Accident by Quickest Means. The male has previous OUI history and is Conditional “Q” until 2021

Also,vehicle make not mentioned, but, one I thought was funny.

Trooper Cote was traveling southbound on the turnpike in Auburn when a vehicle passed him at 97 M.P.H. in the posted 65 M.P.H. zone. He stopped it and summonsed the adult male operator for Criminal Speed. He told Trooper Cote that he had been in a hurry because he was late for traffic court in Portland as a result of previous speeding ticket.
 
Here's another one. I got just one question--how in hell did she get that Foz going "...in excess of 100 mph..." ??? Guess she was going like hell, got airborne off a crest, then smacked some poor guy in a delivery van coming the other way and went off into the trees.

Van driver wasn't hurt by some miracle, Foz driver hurt but not as bad as it could have been. Look how smooshed that thing is!
