Ummm....how did you manage to break the front bar??
Maybe the end links? Maybe the mounts? But the bar itself?????? What is your VIN numberfor the car, I don't want anyone I know to be buying it later on. As to parts, you can go with the dealer for a bar, a junkyard or aftermarket. Places like Cusco, Whiteline and others make replacement bars. |

Your friend would rather get hurt tumbling off a sled at 60 mph, even on snow. |

Hypothetical question: What if you had to stop? You would be picking your friend's teeth out of your bumper for months.

Maybe the car thought it was going 60 because of all the wheelspin even though he was standing still?
You won if you broke the stabalizer. |

As for the sledding thing yeah me and my friends really did do that and i will post the vid once i get it. About the braking and him hitting my bumper wasnt a problem because he usually fell off doing around 40 mph. Only on one run we got him to about 60 and he went flying when he fell off it was great. Also i thought the mph doesnt go up if the car isnt moving? So yea that about answers most of it |

Congratulations. Here's your sign.
My friend was roof surfing when another car came towards them, he lost his balance, and the driver, trying to avoid the oncoming car headed for the ditch, at 35mph. Surfing friend cracked his skull + a concussion. No more football for that kid. Its fun to have fun, but remember, you as the driver are responsible, and if something goes wrong, you're the one going to have the guilt of hurting your friend. I don't know how much of a positive response you were hoping to elicit from this post, but I don't see you getting much. |

I guess you just don't get it, we dont' want to see a vid, we don't think this is funny, we're scared for the poor idiot who strapped his sled onto the back of your car. I'll be more wary of the subarus I see in Illinois from now on |

^^^^ Glad someone explained it. On another note, I'd love to see the video. I think it's great to see people making asses of themselves. Besides that, I think OT would get a kick out of it. |

On a side note, anyone ever done the physics calculations on the number of G's a body withstands going from 60 to zero in a distance of 3ft (average crumple zone of a car)? Its nutzors. Then take that same analogy and apply it to 3 inches. Ouch.

lol, Glad you had fun, but it was still a pretty stupid thing to do.
17, that explains it all. If you want to have real fun then go to an autoX course. Much safer and much more fun than dragging Heehaw and the banjo brigade behind your car. |

Eh, I had great fun a couple winters ago towing a sled around behind my car in a nice big empty snowy lot, with a packed base and about 12" of fresh snowfall.
We didn't go faster than about 12- 15mph, and not more than about 100 yards total. We used a tow rope that was about 25' long. The potential for injury or death was extremely low. But I'd sure wouldn't go 40mph, nevermind 60. That's beyond dangerous. |

Skis (actually Bigfeet(tm)) behind Jeeps on snowy roads are the best... Those were a couple of good days in college.
