Front wheel drive + high hp = CV shaft spitting out of the transmission.

Just a guess though. I hope it's not that ugly.

Usually rex's are good for high power tho. I'm guessing he was playing and broke a control arm.

yup his scuby is 4wd, and I dont think Ive ever heard of a wrx loosing a front CV.

That's exactly what I'm thinking, he slid the front into something and tucked a corner.

I didn't know they offered any FWD options

I like our Subaru's handling with AWD for sure
