Exclamation Why do the WRX' attract Honda's?

Why is it..that no matter where I park?

I'll park in no mans land. Empty part of the lot. Go into the store and come out only 10-15 minutes later and sure enough...even though still in no man's land. Now I have Honda's parked on my flanks.

Why? What do they hope to gain? HP through proximity?

Good God, why must they do it....? They only embarrass themselves.

And these are some Fugly ones...not even nicely done or respectable looking.

Anyone....anyone have the answer?

Same thing happens to me, I park in an EMPTY spot at least 200 ft away from a store (almost to the point where my gf would say, could you park ANY Further from the store!)... and some idiot in an SUV or truck comes and parks no less than 6 inches from my driver side door....?

I honestly don't understand this. More annoying than anything else. Those people are idiots.

I can honestly say that has never happened to me. But if I had to guess, I would say its jealousy.

It's like when you were young, and you wanted to hang out with the older cool kids. You would do anything just to get some sort of acknowledgment out of them. If it gets to the point where they are waiting for you in their car just to wave or make eye contact, shop somewhere else, lol.

I think they hope to gain our torque through osmosis of being near our WRXs.

Maybe they park farther away and next to you cause they figure you won't be banging your door on their car.

Get serious guys as long as Hondas are still kicking butt with the worlds fastest imports (AEM civic 6.51 1/4 mile @200+mph) (world fastest all motor 4 cylinder 9.76 by skunk 2 rsx which is faster than the easy street STI) and street cars in the 11s you have to give them there props. The guys that hang around your cars are just fascinated buy some thing thats different and not found around every corner.

^ I have no problem with Hondas. I was actually considering a hatch and still am. Yes there are a lot of "ricers" with Hondas but not all of them are like that. I don't know why so many people hate on them.

The race teams get the props...the everyday Ricer Honda drivers get NO PROPS whatsoever.

If you have enough money you can turn a Saturn Ion into a legit drag racer.
