You Know You Drive a Subaru When...

You Know You Drive a Subaru When....


You go play in some mud and don't wash it off for a week because you want to show everyone what a Bad @ss you are

People over-hear you talking about meth-injection and ask "are you OK"

When you go to Starbucks to get an iced tea, not because you want one, but because there was a parking spot up front and you wanted everyone to see your car

You stay at the time/auto shop he whole time they do your maintenance because you don't want them taking it for a test drive

You suddenly try to justify buying a DSLR camera because you bought a Subaru

Your talking with family/friends and mid-sentance a Subi drives by and for no reason at all you yell out "SUBARU"

You look forward to running errands so much, that they take several hours.

When you look over and your passengers face is melted to the head-rest

The gas station attendant knows you by name

When your nephews refer to your car as "The Space Ship"

Your neighbors complain that your car warming up at 6a.m is their alarm clock

Your insurance agent personally calls you to collect you bill.

When old men in Corvettes can't take their eyes out of their rear-view mirror.

And of course... When squares with crooked brimmed visors driving Scion TC's mugg you



Not sure it this is a re-post, saw it on another forum and thought it would be fun.

Whatcha guys got?!

When you look at your odometer and it says 198,000 and you proceed to smash on the gas.

When you can hear a car from several blocks away and know it's a subaru.

When even your wife gets annoyed when other suby drivers don't wave.

LOL. So true.

You check out every subie you see, even if it is bone stock and driven by a grandma.

And then you think "with a few mods...."




Hahah. My dog knows when I am home long before I get there.

...when you work in IT.

...when you get excited to drive in bad weather.

...when you find yourself taking the windy back roads instead of the straight highway.

...when all the guys at the tire shop know you by name.

...when you just got a new set of wheels and you are already thinking about getting another set.

LMAO. Reminds me of when my buddy got his brand new sport bike. He came back from lunch...
Him: I just went to McDonalds.
Me: OK, and?
Him: In Monterey.
Both: LOL!!!!

When you tell a law enforcement officer "no I can not turn my car of yet, the turbo is cooling down."

When you drive way out of the way for gas, because you want a station that has one pump per grade of fuel.

When your mechanic says "your piston ring landing has failed"

When you write in this thread when you should be working.

when you meet a new group of friends and they all assume you know one of the guys because you both own subarus.

when your neighbor yells at you because they thought it was you reving their motor all night (when it was a group of harleys 3 doors down).

when GT mustangs take the next exit in fear.

when the girl in the passenger seat of the M3 is waving at you.

i had a week off from work and used the time to do some mods in my garage. an older woman walks up while i'm working on the car and asks if I was on vacation.

i was a bit weirded out but I tell her, "uh...yeah, why do you ask?"
she says, "i live across the street and i know when you start your car, it's time for me to wake up!"
I laughed and told her "the alarm" would be back in a week!"

A lot of the things in this thread hit close to home, but this one in particular got me. A ring landing failure destroyed my engine in fall of 2009.
