So I walked up to this kid the other day and decided to have a little fun. It went a little like this:
me: Hey sir, is that your Subaru out there? him: Yes it is, you're not planning on giving me a ticket are you? me: Why would I do that? him: ...Oh.. never mind... What's up? me: I have a Subaru legacy and I'm actually looking for a hood, do you happen to know where I could find one? him: Nasioc me: What? Nasi-what? him: N-A-S-I-O-C, It's an internet forum and they have a private classifieds section where members sell parts, I'm sure you'd be able to locate a hood there. me: Ok thanks. I probably shoulnd't be telling you this, but I actually raced one that looks like yours and he only took me off the launch, we were dead even after that...Oh I just remembered, my clutch is toast, so that's why he beat me... him:Yeah man, that makes sense. me: You know, I was thinking of doing a WRX engine and turbo swap, because everything else on the car is the same as the STi. Drivetrain, suspension, everything. It's a pretty cool little car. him:I'd recommend an STi swap, preferably with forged pistons, that'd be the best bet as far as power and reliability ( for some reason he was trying to hold back a smile). me: Yeah, totally agree him: Well, I have to get back to work, good luck with your legacy.. |

A couple weeks ago, I was going on lunch at work (I work at a Toyota dealership). I was pulling out of the employee parking and right in front of me on the lot was one of our salesman showing a man and his small boy the Tacoma's. I stopped to look both ways before I pulled out and the boy heard my rumble and turns around and his jaw just dropped. He immediately started pulling on his dads shirt going "Daddy look!" And pointed at my car. His dad looked and did a double take and just asked the salesman how much for one of those? Put a big smile on my face until the salesman started whining because the guy went down to the Subaru dealership

The day I got my WRX, the car was sitting in the garage. My 6 year old son was pointing towards the hood scoop and asked, "Dad, what does that thing do? Does it shoot out fire?" I was tempted to say, "Why, yes it does son!" but figured I better be truthful...I explained a little bit on what the scoop's function is and now he calls it "that thing that makes the car go fast..."

I had a good one this morning. I stopped at an open house this morning on my way to work just to check it out. After taking the tour, I was about to leave and the agents partner came in from outside and struck up a conversation about my car.
Him: Is that your silver car out there? Me: Yes, that is my Subaru Him: Does it have the Porsche motor in it? Me: No, its not a Porsche motor. It has a flat 4 in it that is the same layout as the Porsche motor though. Him: I thought they had Porsche motors in them. My nephew has one like that. Me: Its the same design as the Porsche motor, in a flat configuration, but its alot cheaper and easier to work on. Him: His has the Porsche motor in his. It also has the Porsche chassis. Me: (okay????) Oh really? Him: Yeah. Its pretty fast. Is yours fast? Me: Fast enough to get in trouble. Him: Does yours have the button? (imitates pushing a button with his finger) Me: Which button? Him: My nephews car has a button that he pushes for boosting. When he pushes it that thing really puts you back in your seat. Me: Really? Him: Yeah, he bought his for 30 thousand Me: Wow, I got mine cheaper than that Him: His is really nice Me: I'm sure it is Him: Its really fast too with that Porsche motor (rambled on some more about the Porsche motor and chassis and how good it was) Me: Well, I really have to get to work, have a nice day. Him: Alright, stay out of trouble. Porsche motor and chassis, huh? |

Sounds like some Subaru owner out there is only slightly familiar with his Subaru.

^^^Reminds me of people in my highschool auto tech class..."The only reason I have any respect for Subaru's is cuz they use the Porsche Boxter motor."

I was showing a guy from work my car when I commented about my Impreza being made in Japan vs the Legacy I was looking at being made in the U.S., he responded with "Japan...Are you sure? Isn't Subaru Australian? You know...outback and the stars on the badge and all that?"
I'm assuming hes not the first |

My sister is lioking for a new car so I took her to the local stealership. First thing the sales guy says is "please say you are trading that in" referring to my bugeye. Of course no is the answer but he kept asking.
About 30 minutes later we took a 2010 impreza for a test drive. I commented on how it was weird for me because it was N/A. His response... "Wow how much did that cost to convert it over? Is it turbocharged or supercharged..." :face palm: |
