Well, it's the 'off-season' now, and I've been trying to think of way to maximize success for the 2011 tornado season. The very first thing that comes to mind, is driving a ridiculously inefficient vehicle, the legendary 99 chevy tahoe Severe Hail Intercept Team vehicle. 15mpg is just not cutting it. I'll miss her, she's been very good to us here at SCTV, but it's time to find the perfect chase vehicle. What would be the perfect chase vehicle? Small, lightweight, good mileage, all wheel drive, all things that come to mind when thinking about a new chase vehicle. I did some googling, and behold...

So I hit craigslist, looking through page after page of worn out old Subaru wagons, looking for the perfect deal. Found one nearby, small fix-ups will be needed, but it's going to VERY cheap and VERY easy to make it chase ready. I wasn't impressed with the stock ground clearance, so I found some cheap easy ways to lift a mid 90s legacy wagon. Tonight, my buddy James (jamesthemechanic.com) and I will be headed out to check out a potential candidate to be the next Severe Hail Intercept Team vehicle. Stay tuned for S.H.I.T. 2.0!
