yeah but at least you could look at them like they were the idiots, instead of the other way around. i had a guy at work call my a melon shooter. it was kinda funny cause he's in his sixty's and is middle eastern, he's a funny dude.

Yeah, it was some little punkass kid in his daddy's Corvette. I just replied with a "So it can sh*t your daddy's Corvette out in one big lump."

Ahh, I'm sure it's the same "look" they give me right after I tell them that I don't plan to mod the STI for a looong while, as the first mod I need to do is work on the driver, getting acquainted with how she handles (via autox and rallyx). New tires and entry fees for me!

haha, a month or so ago I hit up a few body shops getting prices to fix a big scratch/dent and get my morrets painted. EVERY SINGLE BODY SHOP (including the one at the Subaru dealership) asked me "did it come from the factory like that?"

yes, Subaru put on lights with abs housing and left it unpainted....it looks le c00l.

One of the guys in my local club told me that one day while in his STi a lady missing half of her teeth pulled up next to him and wanted to know if the spoiler was so big because his [******] was so small.

Some of my favorite questions/comments:

"Did you know your car sounds like a VW Bug, ha ha?" (co worker)

"Cute car" (from my Chevy loving uncle)


As I walked out of a 7-11.....

Homeless man: "Hey, I've been seeing a lot of those lately. What car is that?"
Me: "It's a Subaru."
Homeless man: "Oh, my buddy was telling me those have AWD... that true?"
Me: "Yup."
Homeless man: "Yea, that's good to have... take it easy."


Seems even the homeless are concerned about automotive safety. Who would have thought?

"Does this have one of them race car engines?"
"Is it a Type-R?"
"Is it faster than a Type-R?"
"Nice STi"(I have a WRX TR)

Those are just a few off the top of my head.
