First day I brought my '15 WRX to work.
Coworker 1: See his new car? Coworker 2: Which one, the BMW? Me: It's a Subaru. Coworker 2: Very nice. |

Went to advanced auto parts yesterday to check a CEL as my lovely V1 Accessport is broken. Mind you, this whole conversation takes place before I turn on the ignition to the car to enable reading the CEL. The conversation ensues...
Worker: *Sits sideways in the driver's seat and plugs in the CEL reader* What kind of car is this? Me: A WRX Worker: Who makes that? Me: Subaru Worker: *starts flipping through the CEL reader trying to find the car* Is that made in America or...? Me: Japan Worker: Oh I found it, it's not on the list Me: Look under Impreza Worker: Nothing is coming up on the reader. Me: That's because I have to turn on the ignition for you to read the CEL Worker: No, it should... Me: *I turn on the car* Worker: It's coming up as p0172 Me: *Google search on the droid* Oh it's running rich, thanks. MAF cleaner and the CEL is gone, at least for now. |

I used to drive a slammed 2000 Celica that would spit flames. I've had a cop pull me over saying "it sounded like I was going fast" and proceeded to strike up a conversation about my car and then let me go haha. That thing was quite the attention getter, ill miss it

I think even if doing nothing wrong, the WRX are just a magnet for trouble.
I picked up my 2002 WRX late on a Friday, so couldn't get it inspected until Monday so no sticker. My buddy and I were coming back from seeing our gfs when a cop on the opposite side of the highway turned around and pulled me over. Cop: "Know why I pulled you over?" Me: "No." Cop: "Your fog lights are on and they are the size of dinner plates, illegal to drive with fog lights on with no inclement weather. They blinded me." Cop: "Those after market?" Me: "Sorry officer, first car I've had with fog lights, I'll shut them off. They came with the car." Cop: "You also have no inspection sticker" Me: "I am aware, I just bought the car yesterday" --- Cop turns to walk away --- Dumb a$$ friend (thinking he was being friendly with the cop): "Officer, one of your lights look like it's broken" Cop: Excuse me? Dumb a$$ friend: "Yeah, one of the lights on your light bar looks broken" Cop (now looking at me): "Sir, how fast were you going?" Me: "60, cruise control was set" Cop: "I clocked you at going 75" Me: "Officer as this is a brand new car, if you clocked me going faster I'd like to know as I'll take this to the dealership immediately to get it locked at." Cop: mumbles and walks away Cop: "Here's a warning, slow down, turn off the lights and get your sticker" Also got pulled over the next day for no sticker... I got pulled over more in that car than any I've ever owned. Must have been something with that year Same car also got comments every time I went to get oil changed or work done. |

Around in my home town in Washington there is a honda meet-up every friday night. First thing I always get asked is where the BOV is and to have it make the "sound"

I seriously hate Honda fanboys. There are some really nice, clean Hondas out there and those gay little kids ruin the scene.

A buddy of mine had EFI's racecar at the high school (my old stomping grounds) as part of his senior capstone project.
One of my friends, who previously seemed to know a little bit about cars, asks me, "Is this thing twin turbo?" Me: "Nah, just a single big one, DOM3 I think." Him: "Oh, cool." *Two minutes later he's talking to my friend who brought it* "Is this thing supercharged?" |

Actually.. my 15 WRX Limited got 33.4mpg on 1 tank. Which it lasted me 500 miles and change (because there's still another gallon or so left). Thats mostly highway miles + some NYC city driving with A/C on low. |

On another note, I need to start remembering the dumb things that people say to me so I can record them here. Or the type of people who try and get me to race them. |

My ex has a BRZ and the people questioning the car was relentless.
It's AWD right? No... rear wheel. No, it's AWD, all Subarus are. Nope, still rear wheel. _____ Only 200hp? Not very much? The car is small, how much does it need? It feels like it has a lot more, tons of fun to drive. Well, 200 still isn't very much. I really don't get it. Awesome car, sorry you have to put up with that haha. |

Why do you have that big handle on the back of your car? Is it so you can pull it around? 15 STI |

Car is COVERED in mud for a meet.
Stopped at a light Them: Didja get stuck and have a buddy pull you out? Me: Nope. Did this on purpose and drove out with my own four wheels. Them: That's impossible. Evos don't have THAT good of AWD. Me: Shucks, Guess I should've bought a Subaru. *light turns green, open cutout and leave* Wat? |

Was merging onto Rt 37 west from the Garden State Parkway south, and came onto 37 right in front of a decent looking new GTI. Dude rips around a few cars and rolls up next to me at the first light...
Him- Nice is that an STI!? Me- Naa just a WRX, 08. Him- Got any work done to it? Me- Just an Accessport and Stage 1 OTS map, completely stock otherwise. Him- Sweet dude let me see a burnout! Me- I'd be all about it if it wasn't all wheel drive Him- *Awkward laugh and puzzled look* I was trying to see 2 wheels spin! He then tears off as the light turns green. ....Some people don't seem to grasp the concept of AWD haha |
