Thumbs up The Kato Mobile - Episode III - Return of the Dak



THE KATO MOBILE

Episode III - Return of the Dak

A dark force had converted the once valiant Subaru worshiper. Gone were the days of old, with mechanical differentials, cable throttles and bulk boost. Now it was the new and confusing electronics, stability controls and paddle shifts.

Things were faster.

Things were easier.

Heli's were not possible.

A dark cloud formed over our hero as life became boring. Then on one fateful evening, a chance encounter with a stock (lol had a BOV) MY98 WRX changed everything, forever.
