On my way to the bar with a buddy of mine and two girls in the back. My buddy looks at all my gauges and asks about how the boost works because he sees "boost" on my boost gauge. I'll never make fun of someone for not knowing about cars, we were all there once but I laughed out of how he tried reasoning how boost works.
Him: So how does the boost work do you push like a button or something? Me: Ohh uhh no it automatically happens when i floor it Him: Soo when you floor it the nitrous kicks in? Me: Nonono no nitrous, I have a turbo Him: (Puzzled look) so how does it go fast then without nitrous? Me: (Basically I explain the basics of how a turbo works, how pressure builds up because of hot side spinning pulling in air via cold side blah blah blah) Him: Ohhh ok so when you let off the gas is when the boost kicks in Me: (Puzzled Look) Him: Like in need for speed when you push the button your boost goes down just like when you let off the gas I couldn't hold it in and I bust out laughing, he wasn't grasping it and I felt kinda bad for laughing but he then claimed he was going to take a physics class soon so hopefully that will help him understand better.

"You have a Subaru and you don't race it?" I said street racing was for high school punks and he stopped talking.

flooring it on the highway passing people with the passengers first time in it, he always tries acting like a bada$$ saying how he's not afraid of anything...
Me: *floors it, accelerates as car gets louder and external wastegate makes noise while passing cars* Him: What the #%*#! Holy @&$%! Christ slow the %#@& down were going to #%*£ing die! $%#€£¥•*^%^€£¥€£>%#&$&$ and so on and so on until I slowed down. When I did a quick launch and a 1st to 2nd pull and kindly asked me to stop because I was emotionally destroying him. |

Recently, I've been going to the car wash often to keep the salt off my roads. Everytime someone there hears my car running, they ask why my rods are knocking. It makes me giggle when no one knows how our engines are naturally tap happy.

I was going from my home church to our 2nd campus and had to give our worship pastor a ride...As he's walking towards the car he stares at it funny like he's never seen one. After he gets in I turn the car on (I have a catback) and he says "gosh, what kind of engine is in this thing?"
So i explained to him and he was stunned at the fact it was a 4 banger... After a while of driving he says "I wouldn't be able to have this car. I'd get too many speeding tickets. How do you do it?" Me..."if i do anything it'll be in a road that is less public, so i dont get too much attention...do you want to feel what is it that i do?" Him..."no no no...thank you i believe you" It made me proud of my subie...still making great impressions |

"Why is your glovebox so heavy?" or (Sharp turn) "Wtf, where's your 'oh ****' handle??" Anyone with an older impreza (93-01) might understand. Last edited by ManualOverAuto; 03-21-2013 at 03:28 PM. |

Guy: Oh it's a Subaru? I wouldn't be caught dead in one.
Me: Really? What would you be caught dead in, I'll buy you one. I follow a guy who cuts me off three times with no turn signal. He stops dead in the middle of a one way, one lane street, then very slowly pulls over and parks, again using no turn signal. So I roll my window down. Me: Hey your turn signal is broken. Guy: Umm, no it's not? Me: Then use it. Jerk. (Tad bit more vulgar than jerk.... Haha) |
