You clearly interpreted my post completely wrong.

I completely agree with all the points you mentioned above. Like I said before, I've been a SF native from birth so I concur with your arguments regarding lack of garage space and issues with keeping your car clean.

I'll make this completely clear right now. As others have brought up, Subaru as a brand has had an unfortunate change in buyer demographic to the point where the performance models are only appreciated by those who know the performance associated with the badge.

I never said I considered a lack of acknowledgement from other Subie drivers offensive. There are hundreds of Subies I see in the city and i'm only talking about the STi's or well taken care of WRX's I come across. If I didn't specify this in my other post I apologize. Having said that, those that i've encountered in the city with clean(not visually but as a whole package) rides and tried to throw deuces at, unfortunately have failed to return the gesture.

You're taking my comments way too personally, and i'm positive most us here in the Nor Cal chapter will agree with me.

Why don't you share your experience(s) in SF when you cross paths with another well taken care of Subie?

I'm not hating, i'm just speaking the truth.

In the end I never expected heat from something like the issue at hand, so I apologize if I came off as a hater. Having said that, this is exactly why Lacey and I are working on an official flyer.

If you're still angry, I offer you my apologies and a sign of truce. The last thing we NorCal members need is negative vibes....

 

I wanna jump in here and say not all of us in this thread have that mentality. I don't feel it's fair to judge us all up here in north bay for one members comment or feeling towards subie owners in the city.
I surely wouldnt want others to think we are snobby because we all here are really welcoming and respect each other. I would encourge anyone to come out to the meets no matter where they live and meet us because somethings can be misinterpreted through text.

 

Not to bring up a dead subject, but thats exactly what I was trying to do with the wording on the spotted cards. The way you read something can be interpreted totally different than someone else.

On the other subject, I usually wave or toss dueces to Subys that I see are modified in some way even if its just a few stickers or something. When I owned my lifted Jeep for 8 years it was the same story. Most Jeep owners would wave, all of the ones who were lifted would certainly wave but most of the stock "pizza cutter" tires driven by yuppies usually would look at you strange. I just learned who to wave to and who not to waste the effort on

 

Most of the time, when I wave nobody can see me anyway. Gotta love dark tint on ALL the windows

 

Haha, I'm always wondering when I throw deuces at one of you guys... and I'm staring with the power of the force to try to see through that tint, probably a common reaction if you have tint though,

 

....And now for something totally different:
Sonoma Drift | News Archive | Media | Sonoma Raceway
I am planning on going Wed. the 10th if anyone else is interested. It would be cool to make it a midweek meet/event. (plus I want to throw some 96 in my tank...)

 

The track sounds fun. I might go if i get off work early enough.

 

Lol, yeah dude I try to make it a point to estimate where I think their eyes would be to make them second guess their privacy glass. "Damn he's looking right at me, maybe my tint isn't as dark as I thought..."

 

I always throw deuces to subie owners, especially WRX and STi owners. It doesn't hurt my feelings if I don't get any sort of acknowledgement back. I just go on about my merry way and look for the next Subaru owner to save at.

I understand moms and g-ma's, old guys with no life and even young people drive Subarus. And it's no more apparent than when I drive my car to work through Point Reyes Station and Bolinas, and get stupid looks when I throw the deuce. Sometimes I think it's hilarious.

Anyways, who cares if you don't get a deuce back. All that matters is I have made a lot of good friends since owning a Subaru!

I almost went with the Killer-B setup. But going with the Tomei EL headers allowed me to have enough leftover to purchase my catless downpipe at the same time.

 

 

 

Would it be socially acceptable to throw deuces to someone when you are not driving a subie.

For example,I was on my sport bike on the way to work and saw a wrx. I threw duecesas as I passed the wrx in the fast lane.

 

I throw duces to anyone with a cool car or bike. Especially if i can tell its their sunday car. Get duces back 99% of time. Maybe thats my car is european lol
