New to 360s

#1 Post by Confederate Bob »

I have known about 360s for years. I saw one with a sign in its back window reading "not for sale", so I bought it. Thankfully I found the Subaru 360 Club. All I need now is a lot of help.

Earning the "360 Brake Job Rite of Passage" certificate should be at the top of your list. Welcome to the Club, it's been a huge help to me. :lol:

C. Bob,

If you haven't already, go to my webpage and download the manuals and the parts catalog. Also, if you don't have it yet, PM me for the link to download the "Book of Reprints" - 30 years of tech tips in one place!

Yes but when you are driving it in traffic, your "situational awareness" will be dramatically higher than if you were driving say, a modern SUV.

After nearly 36 years of driving Subaru 360s daily, I have only been hit once - that was when I was stopped. I have come to the conclusion that our cars are so small that when they are moving the idiot drivers who cause accidents are not skillful enough to hit one. :roll:

300,000+ miles on Subaru 360s since Feb. 1975, and have never (yet) been stuck on the road with one!
