Oh my goodness gracious...that was some of the funniest stuff I've seen a LONG while!!!!



Thanks for the research John...I'm starting my Friday off with a smile!
 
Originally created in January, 2000 by Sean Sosik-Hamor, the Trunkmonkey concept had been floating around the labs for quite a while before anyone actually decided to implement it. Consisting solely of a trained monkey and a steady source of ice cold high-quality import ale or lager, the Trunkmonkey lives in the trunk of any vehicle and helps to automate weight transfer at the rear wheels during spirited driving maneuvers.

But why a monkey?

Because they're extremely intelligent and agile creatures. And, most importantly, clinical tests show that not only do monkeys have a taste for beer, but some bloodlines have an extremely high tolerance level for alcohol. This is important because Trunkmonkeys must be able to stay steady on their feet while intoxicated, even under the most demanding driving conditions.





So how exactly does STmi Technology work?

Subaru Trunkmonkey Inertia Technology is based on the laws of physics mixed with the chaos of a drunken Trunkmonkey. Just like the crew on a large racing yacht distributes ballast to compensate for heavy winds hitting the sail, Trunkmonkeys distribute ballast in the trunk of a car to compensate for body roll going through corners and powerslides. Trunkmonkeys are also responsible for keeping body roll to a minimum when getting the vehicle airborne during rallies and other offroad events

Somebody has the TrunkMonkey link in their sig...I looked at it a few months ago and almost fell off my chair! I especially like the one where he's reading the gambling mag in the trunk and comes thru the pass-thru to clock the guy.

That would be me, I think . . .



It's a long-standing joke in the Subaru community. Quite a few Subie owners (myself included) have a stuffed toy monkey in the trunk for luck (and improved cornering :D).
