Subaru blurble is everywhere

I happen to work in an office right next to the freeway. In fact, I'm lucky to be near a window and it faces 237. Besides F15's doing low flybys, I keep hearing the subie burble as people "spiritedly accelerate" up the on ramp.

If it's not a Mustang sound, it's a subie boxer blurble. Unless I'm mistaking some Porsche sound for subies...

Just thought I'd share that. When you hear (but don't see) an unmistakable wide open throttle acceleration... what do you hear?

Oh you don't want to work here. I here F15's maybe once a month. The accelerating cars maybe once a day. That's like 5 seconds out of the day, VS the 28800+ seconds per day of work drudgery. NOT A REASON TO WORK HERE.

Hmmm... closer to 2:30 pm. But if you come near here I must have heard you before and not known it.
