The 20 Minute Vacation.

I stole that line from the President of Stanistan. Anyway, yesterday morning was in the low 60's and sunny. A perfect day for a top down test cruise of my GoPro Hero-3 White Edition. I still cant figure out how to convert the Imovie to be transferred in HD to YouTube. The original Video is in 720 by 60fps but YouTube not keeping the format. Maybe because the video is too long.

Anthony my 16 year old tagged along (he loves the wind in his hair). No music, just the engine, the exhaust and the beautiful greenery we have this time of year. Watch till the end and you'll see the corn is like 8ft tall.

Great vid, Marty. I liked the brown leather in your IM so much that I ordered a new Genesis with it. They call it "saddle" and it looks like a baseball glove--I like it a lot.

Fabulous car too!

Nice countryside up there. Suby sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing the video.

The GoPro internal mic does ok (its blocked by the case) but I am going to order an external mic to better the sound.

old school trick, shove a piece of cotton wool over the mic with a piece of builders tape.

Nice video and beautiful car. BTW, good thing you wound her down at about 1:40 !!! Had I been driving that sweet ride of your's the vid would have ended abruptly and very badly.

Nice video Marty! For a second there I thought I saw a corner...but I was wrong.

That's why I go in the morning, most of the bugs are still sleeping.

I'm still amazed, Marty, that two engines that are supposed to be similar seem to manage to sound different from each other.

That could be part of it Marty. Also, different exhaust and mid vs. rear-engine. Your car is lookin' (and sounding) real good. These Subies are great little engines. JMHO

Thanks John. Henry and one of his guys pretty much rebuilt my headers. We started with a pair that we ordered from KEP and Intermeccanica sliced and diced it to fit my application.

Marty, I remember driving one of Henry's new IMs 3 or 4 years ago, with a VW turbo engine. After the drive I asked him why he hadn't installed any Subie power plants. He replied that no one had asked him yet. I also talked to his head mechanic and asked him about Subie engines. He said he hoped he would never have to put one of 'those' engines in an IM.

How times have changed.
