Tearin' it up in a Subaru - video

Saw this vid on another site I frequent. This driver definitely has some skills. It takes about a minute before it gets to the good stuff, but definitely worth the wait.

Yea I'll say he has some skill. My guess is most people only wish they could drive half as well. Quite entertaining that's for sure.

WOW! Where do I buy a ticket for the passenger seat? WOW! The donuts around the moving segway was just sick. I did notice he used a handle of some kind to the upper right of the shifter, what is that? Anyone know how the brake management is setup on that ride?

^^^ at 2:34 on the video he reaches for something, that's the something I'm asking about. I see the E-brake, it's huge, but whats that at 2:34?

I'm glad you all like the video. I had to watch it again and turn up the volume a bit more. I'm not sure what that is that he reaches for at 2:34.

This guy is definitely letting it all hang out, going through the weeds, at 2:18 he starts hitting the plywood with the right rear quarter as he drifts in a circle. Definitely lots of fun, and I too would pay for that E-ticket ride!
