Subaru Wagon Sandwiched Between San Francisco MUNI Bus and Trolley Car

Video footage sourced from a security camera located on a building that recently surfaced online has shed some light to an accident that took place in downtown San Francisco on August 3, 2012.

The recording shows a white crossover identified as a "Subaru Wagon" (likely a Forester) entering the inner lane of the road and slowing down behind a trolley car that had stopped for a red light when a MUNI bus came crashing from behind literally sandwiching the Japanese model.

While no doubt fun to drive, some consumers and reviewers have been complaining about the lack of power in the Subaru BRZ and its boxer-engine twins, the Toyota GT 86 and Scion FR-S.

Nothing the aftermarket industry can't solve, as proved by this Subaru BRZ tuned by Accelerated Performance.

Thanks to a series of mechanical upgrades highlighted by the addition of a turbocharger system, reprogrammed ECU and a catless exhaust, the BRZ's 2.0-liter flat-four is said to produce a massive 440-horses…at the rear wheels.

If only the blue-colored SUV was parked a few feet ahead we could have been talking about an unbelievable outcome in this accident.

What we see in this dash-cam video (likely sourced from Russia) is a driver of a Subaru Legacy Station Wagon speeding and not paying attention to the road while trying to change lanes.

According to sources, this is the first Subaru BRZ (seen on film at least) to receive the turbo treatment.

Ohio based Accelerated Performance owner John Visconti recently headed over to the North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club (NASIOC) to reveal what his company had accomplished with their new turbocharged BRZ by posting the results of the dyno test.

You've got to love old-timers with plenty of zest to go around. Take for example this 91-year old grandmother who had no problem whatsoever wearing her racing helmet and jumping into the racing seat and getting behind the wheel of an old Subaru (or so we're told) for some fun time at a rallycross-esque track.

The woman seems to enjoy every bit of the experience and doesn't lose it even when she veers off the dirt track.

Ford has premiered the first of five episodes of its new web video series dedicated to the 2013 Focus ST hot hatch titled "ST Sessions".

Following the one-minute teaser released back in mid-July, the first session shows the 252-horsepower Focus ST measuring up against its natural rivals, the 263hp MazdaSpeed3 and 265hp Subaru Impreza WRX hatchbacks, as well as the more expensive and much faster 414hp BMW M3 Coupe.

We are sure Chrysler fans can come up with many excuses and plenty of things to blame for why this 'Guts. Glory. Ram.' pickup truck towing a motor-home managed to be stuck in the mud and could not move in any direction without the help of a second generation Subaru Impreza hatchback.

While many will hold true – such as that the Impreza had better traction where it was standing – you cannot but praise the small Subaru for its ability to free a full size truck towing an even larger and heavier load.

You can see how it did it in the video that follows right after the break.
