A girl called Philomena, a Subaru WRX, some people in a golf kart and plenty of dust – that sounds like the oddest combination ever. But as you're about to find out, it works just fine. Here's one for the Subaru lovers!
Always trying to show girls that are having a good time, the guys at TRC put Philomena in the passenger seat of a rally car, an older model Subaru WRX to be more precise. The lack of soundproofing and miles of piping that forms its roll cage make this Subie a scary place to be for the young model.
Of course, a rally car is not designed to scare people by accelerating in a straight line, it's designed to deal with sand, dirt and gravel. However, even it proved no match for the Florida terrain and eventually got stuck, which made for a very short joyride video.
If you really must know, Philomena Andress also goes by the name Mena Andress, is 26 and works out of Boca Raton, Florida. All 5' 5" of her weighs just 105 lbs, so the power to weight ration of the Subie is not affected by much. If you're wondering where you've seen here before on autoevolution, know that she was in the passenger seat, being scared to within an inch by a 17YO racing ace.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
