I just had to get this on film, the stream was a few inches higher on our return from camping. Thankfully, I made it or I would have never lived it down... Go Subaru GO!

  • You're lucky you didn't flood your cylinders, like me :(. I didn't realize how deep the puddle was and took it too fast.

    Check my videos so you know what's too deep, because I'm looking at about $3,500 for a new engine (labor included).

  • Yeah, I'm kind of a knucklehead. The Subaru manual says not to go into water deeper than the chassis.... well I about doubled that (or more). I don't think I'd do water this deep again, but I want to go play some more REAL BAD! It's winter now..... bring on the snow!

  • Crazy! Did any water get in through the doors? Are they sealed or something? Ive never seen a water crossing like this with a wagon before!

  • Thankfully, no water got in! The only casualty was my drivers side foglight filled with water and died, but that's a small price to pay for getting this recorded.

  • hahaha I was in that car...

    c(=

  • I can verify that!

  • Water that high would get in my exhaust and intake (hence keeping it shallow and fast with my car). I definitely can't go there.

  • I always wondered why my 98 legacy outback had water tight seals on the doors...

    now I know

  • @renichms If your car is running, it will not effect your exhaust. But yes, your intake will get fucked, unless you reroute your intake.

  • @dgsblb Reroute your intake with a $5 vacuum hose and you wouldn't have that problem. lol

  • GO SUBARU!!

  • yeah man. i have a 99 outback. i push that car to the limit and its been real good to me. deep water, snow, mud, steep hills. she's gotten me through every time.

    go subi!!!

  • Might as well save up for a wrx swap!

  • Awesome. People sometimes really do underestimate the capability of these cars.

  • If you use a snorkle you wouldn't have an issue.. you'll just need to change your diff oil, casue water will seep through the seals and turn your gear oil into gray crap.
