I had a weird, almost emotional reaction to the Subaru pic in today's !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! post. Its just perfect . It makes me think of awesome pics of McRae !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Or our boy Ken Block just murdering tires in !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! (2:55, still my favorite Gymkhana move ever). I haven't owned a Subaru, but I often think of how fun it would be. Would I lower it and put fat tires and a stiff suspension on it? Or raise it a few inches and put some dirt tires and mudflaps on it? Can't decide, but some engine tweaking is a given.

A WRB STI with gold wheels, in factory livery, going balls out on dirt is the most natural and perfect thing ever. Its like when a bull stomps the shit out of a bull fighter. Or when an Olympic long jumper Super Mario nails a triple jump. Its a moment of bliss when everything is how its supposed to be.

So beyond Subies in the dirt, here's a few other things that come to mind when I think of cars in their natural habitat, doing what they're supposed to do. Its basically an exercise in Google Image Searching, but still fun, especially if you stay away from easy memes. Any others?

That last one is a classic. Clean bro-truck parked in an asphalt lot like an ass-hat. You win.

This is the best I can do. It's from Caterham's site.

Well, that settles it, then. I'm going to have to get one and take the dang photo myself.

Perfect. I was trying to find a good shot of an MB on the Autobahn, preferably with a "Derestricted" sign nearby.

Excellent post :) here's a few I can think of

And my personal favourites:

The Spitfire one was even in a brochure of theirs at the time. Excellent sense of humour :)

Awesome. The E-Type Coupe and the Range Rover here are perfection.

lol I was waiting for that. Other acceptable answers would be a Ferrari on fire or a British car on the side of the road with the hood up.
