I think I just read the dumbest comment I've ever heard. "The bad part of where i live in north carolina is that truck and Mustang/camaro owners are the most educated."

I'm one of those "dumb Camaro owners" that actually knows how to spell "Porsche." So guess what that makes you.......

And considering you're nearly 30 years old, I would've expected a more intelligent statement than I had just read.

Oh yeah, and you keep showing those Hondas who's boss in your little wagon.....

Kudos for knowing how to spell porsche . Ive got about 4 posters of 911's and its evolution on my walls .

But getting to the point, lets all be nice wrx'ers here. I can understand your comments up to "Oh yeah, and you keep showing those Hondas who's boss in your little wagon....." - that was just kind of below the belt . And might I add, I personally think its hilarious when hondas rev at me or something - it usually brings a grin to my face :P.

So the overall message is: Now now boys!

if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all...... oh crap, nevermind i would never be allowed to talk. In the defense of Honda's- not all Honda's suck it's the idiot that put a muffler on and think they can smoke everyone. Honda's reputation is forever tarnished because of those people. I've had several Honda's and they were pretty quick without being riced out but I LOVE MY SUBARU

my buddie who (has always been a die hard suby fan) owns an 05 evo...yeah don't understand that. tried to convince me that subaru were australian and after i told him they were japanise (with alot of arguement) he finally "decided" i was right. then like two months after that he started telling me how the "boxster" motor in my suby was from porsche! i was like YOU ******G retard!!!! and then let him just think whatever, he also happens to be the most stubbern person in the world!

but other than that i've had the "do a burn out" crap and "why isn't there any backseats" (i had my interior gutted for awhile) i've also had "why don't you have a hood scoop?" (i drive a rs) and "is your car all wheel drive like the sti?" and "do you have a hole in your exhaust or something its really loud"

i guess live around alot of really dumb people

Thanks! Being a dumb Camaro owner, it was quite the challenge! Sorry, I just find it to be ignorant and offensive when some idiot starts making assumptions of people based on what they drive. If I did the same, I'd assume every wagon owner was gay, especially since they are one of the most popular vehicles amongst the gay population. That's no joke.

I read it a few months ago that Subarus were amongst one of the top car choices amongst the gay community, and wagons were one of those top choices. It would be just as ignorant if I were to assume everyone male behind the wheel of a wagon wanted to blow me kisses.

Hondas don't suck. The majority of their drivers do. You're absolutely right about Honda. When I see an Accord or even an Integra, the first thing I think is "it's rice in progress." Then, when I pull up next to it, it's some older guy or some lady. Every time I see an Integra I think it's some ricer driving it and he's going to try to race me.

It's the same story with the Neon SRT-4. (Most of) Those guys are the worst. Hell, I know SRT owners that won't even hang out with SRT owners!

Maybe your friend was never a die-hard Suby fan like you think he was. I'm not a Subaru fan and make no bones about it. I don't like some vehicle just because some company comes out with it. Subaru, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Mitsubishi, GM, Ford, etc. all make cars that I would love to own and cars that I wouldn't have any interest in owning. I'm a fan of cars, NOT of companies. Maybe he is too?

As for the "boxer" behind a Porsche engine, people think just because Porsche and Subaru both make boxers that they are related. Not the case.

yes i know he's not a die hard subie fan, but thats what his perspective is on himself (was that bad grammer?) i just find it funny that people can't be true to themselves. like if you like evo's fine but don't act like your a die know everything fan of something else! lol ah what do i know i'm apparently gay right? cause i drive a subie.

ps i also know more about his evo than he does...depressing

Well, if you're gay cuz you drive a Subaru, then I guess I'm just a big, dumb gay mullet-headed redneck, because I drive an STi and a Camaro.

So be it. I'll be a big, dumb, gay redneck, because my Camaro and STi both kick ***.

In the past I got a lot of the "do a burn out" and "does that thing have a v8? (or v6)" I even got some v4 comments.
