When your son says" can we take the fast car?" And you have two others to take

When your wife tells you the car next to you has ugly rims!

You know you drive a Subaru when... You name your cat Subie..

You know you own a Subaru when everyone REALLY is staring at your car..

You know your a Subaru owner when you're cruising a long and the obnoxious civic all the way to the camaro ss decide to catch up to you and attempt to race you

1. Is that a chopper (helicopter or motorcycle) i hear, hell nah that's a Subie!
2. One time at a gas station some dude with a newer Civic asked me where i got my body kit & wing at, i replied it's all stock from the factory, don't know where the **** he's been at all this time!
3. When you have to ALWAYS check for any type of models, toys, rc cars, etc. of your particular model at any store that sells toys, i'm really bad with this!
4. When you finally start going to car meets for the first time in your life, befriending total strangers just because they drive the same car/brand as you!
5. When the service tech anywhere revs your car right at start up & drives hella fast in a lowass gear all the way to the garage/staging area when he hears/knows you have a loudass rumbling exhaust!
6. When your nice stock BBS rims are hella dirty from Brembo brake dust just a few days after completely washing them good!
7. When your dashboard area, frameless windows, & struts/springs all make loudass unusual noises unbefitting a $30K+ sports sedan!
8. When you've got to fill up at least 2-3 times a ****ing week, with expensive premium (91 OCT) no less!
9. When you've got to worry about piston ringland failure-WTF!
10. When changing your spark plugs (or anything else in the engine for that matter) is now a major pain in the ***, unlike an I4!
11. When people ask what the hell your top mount intercooler is under the hood!
12. When everyone & their mama now hates you & wants to race you or beat you to the upcoming merge (happens to me every damn day) driving in much slower vehicles (X-Boxes, minivans, work trucks, old 4 bangers, anything Honda/Acura, etc. basically anything you know is slower than you), & after you let them mash their gas wasting it & conserving yours, now they wanna drive all slow after getting in front of you with you on their ***, ****ing *******s man!
13. When you can turn & take corners hella fast-AWD FTMFW baby!
14. Oh & i can't forget, when you can launch the car at 6K rpm without any tire spin, hell yeah!

A guy did this to my car.. Right in front of me after he parked my car... So I walked up to him and asked.. Do you really not have enough self control? You knew that I was going to smash on it out of here.. Tisk tisk

When you see that dumb look on the face of a fart pipe equipped Civic/Accord/Tc as you walk away from them like they weren't moving.

When everyone thinks that because you have a wagon, your car is slow. ( I couldn't tell you how many times people have asked "what the hell is in there?" the first time they ride with me).

When gas costs you more than food each week.

She didn't tell me, she had one before I did. Sold it and bought another for her and the mods already started. And she LOVES IT

...you know what "torque bind" is.

...you know about the "Subaru virgin switch".

...you have a Yakima roof rack that you actually have a bike/skis/etc to use it with.

...you see "bad weather" as "Subaru weather"

When you have enough parts "waiting to go on" in the house to practically build another Subie.
