Blue SVX police chase
Anyone else in the NW see the SVX being chased by the cops?
It happened all over the Eastside (Kirkland, Bothell, Juanita, etc.). It was on a couple channels.
He managed to escape police for about 25 minutes. Even busted through a fence and rallied through a golf course at one point.
Ended when he was surrounded and gave up.
Sorry, but I have no way to get video of it.

That was hilarious! I wonder why the cops couldn't catch up to him for so long? I guess front wheel drive and sloppy handling don't do well at high speed chases that get taken onto golf courses....

I was rooting for the car, not the guy driving it!!! Glad to see that it wasn't totaled and of course that nobody seemed to get hurt. Did you see the two red Outbacks, couple of other subies in there too. Started me thinking that I should look at picking up an svx!

I'm glad I wasn't driving a subaru down the highway when the chase took place. I would probably try to race him.
Wouldn't that be funny as hell!! All these Subarus giving chase. LOL!!
On another note I now know why you always see people getting blow-outs and flat tires on all those police chase videos on TV. It's because they are driving on the shoulder of the road! We all know how much crap is on the shoulder! Tires, pipes, chunks of godonlyknowswhat!

Our roommate watched that go down. He was sitting in his office, and saw all these helicopters, so he called Art and asked him to put on the news. About 5 seconds later, a blue svx flew by, followed closely by several police cars. We watched it on the news yesterday night.

I saw it on Fox news last night. It's a shame becasue that SVX looked like it was in very good condition. It held up to smashing cars and fences damn well too. A testimate to Subaru build quality.

haha, I think they mentioned Kenmore in the chase Laurel, I think it's sad that the car looked amazing, it looked all shiny and stuff and when he 'sideswiped' people the car held up so well. Even when the jackass (rooting for the car here) in the Suburban smashed the SVX it was like, "yeah I'm a Subaru, what up?" and drove away.
