WRX

This is a true story.

In the early 90s my boss broke his arm and he was in a sling for a month.

That caused issues. Not “would he work?” But, how would he get to work in an area without public transport or taxis?

The solution, he swapped cars with me. I had a brand new automatic Holden Commodore shitbox. He had a brand new red Subaru WRX manual.

He got one of those things you clamp on to the steering wheel so you can drive one handed.

Me, I got to hoon around in a genuinely frightening getaway car: I spent a month experimenting with the dynamic limits of AWD. And I found them

No one would be crazy enough to create that solution today.
