i've done it once. i normally keep my car pretty dirty and when it rains, it looks worse. i was a groomsman in a wedding that day. i wanted me AND the car to look respectable. i got a few weird looks from passerby's while washing that morning.

FWIW, that doesn't look like a Subaru. Maybe an older Golf or Jetta wagon?

Having owned an old Legacy, I can assure you it's not a BF (1st gen.). It also doesn't look like a BG because the rear bumper doesn't jut out at all and the headlights aren't "round" enough.
