Dash Cam Video: Subaru WRX Does 360 Spin While Passing

Keep calm and keep her between the hedges.

These days dash cams can provide us with a view of some crazy driving.

I'm not sure anyone will know if this move was intentional or not, but this Subaru Impreza WRX driver ended up taking an exciting spin while overtaking another vehicle.  And it was all caught on a dash cam video and uploaded to YouTube.

Looks like stunt driving worthy of a Subaru commercial.

Utah Subaru Dealers "Share The Love"

For the fourth year in a row Subaru is participating in the Share The Love Event - a sales event that generates a donation of $250 for every Subaru sold to one of five charities.  Each year five charities are chosen to be recipients of the donations and new Subaru owners can choose which charity they would like to have receive the $250 donation.  This year's chosen charities for the event are:

- American Forests
- The ASPCA
- Make-A-Wish Foundation
- Meals On Wheels
- Special Olympics

The Share The Love event has raised over $15 million for charity over the past three years and Subaru hopes to donate another $5 million this year.

In the spirit of "sharing the love", local Utah Subaru dealer, Mark Miller Subaru - Midtown, has a Forester wrapped in Share The Love imaging that is being used to take volunteers from the dealership out to deliver hot meals to local recipients through Meals On Wheels.

Also, the Humane Society of Utah held a pet adoption event at the dealership recently - finding forever homes for some wonderful animals and helping to spread the word to "never breed or buy animals. Adopt, don't shop."

Another Utah Subaru dealer, Nate Wade Subaru is "Packing an Outback" to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  The Outback, sitting on the Nate Wade showroom floor, has been filling up fast over the last few weeks.  For every toy you put inside the Outback you get one entry into a drawing for a 16GB iPad2.  Pretty sweet!


The Share The Love Event is taking place now through January 3rd.  To learn more about the event and the five associated charities take a look at this video:
