    So, I was in a car wash thee other day, and this guy (who drives a ford probe) was talking crap subaru.:mad: I was like, "what is your problem." Anyways, the only thing he said that struck me was that, "the only reason why there are so many subaru cars in MN is because of the snow. Now, I ask everyone is this the reason why all you guys on MNsubaru got a subaru?

    No, but it is a reason why there are more Subarus in the northern states than the southern states.

    Plus there are only 500 of my car in the WORLD. That sold me over the 08' WRX that I almost bought. Leather seats and a more subtle look was also the deal breaker.

    I rode (correct word?) in an old legacy, then it was a 1 g outback to kndergardern. And if I weren't to drive I would be riding in my dads 09 outback. My dad sold his soul to subaru a long time ago (18 years I think) so I have never ridden in anything else but a subaru. **** is in my mof'in blood man

    Subaru for life

    People who buy AWD for the snow are ******s.
    I buy it for wet course traction, frozen lakes, and the ablity to mash the pedal on corner exits and live.

    It was cheap, and I figured it would be faster then my sentra. The guy sounds like a d-bag....and he drives a ****ing probe.

    I have had a few. Liked the awd, and now I really like the space and boosties of my wrx wagon. Also, gas mileage is great, and the wagons arent a car that everyone modifies. Stands out in a crowd, even with other subies around.

    EDIT* hate my insurace rates. I'm getting a new legacy 2.5i next, the wrx is rediculous to ensure. I have no accidents and no tickets. ghey.

    HAHA! I found that amazingly funny.

    I got one for the AWD advantage, mainly for ice not so much snow. But also since Subarus are incredibly easy to work on and maintain, while still being super reliable/dependable (150k miles = brand new, Mine is still running awesome at 192k and having seen boost a couple times.).

    My first question is why you'd be taking any criticism seriously from a guy driving a Probe.

    I've always liked the look of the 2.5rs. As an added benefit awd is way more funner;) than fwd in the snow. To be honest I sort of prefer rwd.

    lol I used to drive a ford probe. Actually I'm still trying to sell it. I bought my subaru because it's a quick car that I can drive in the snow. If I was in an area that didn't get snow, I would have bought something else.

    he drives a probe... and was talking ish?... that doesnt even count.

    any heinous comment he tries to smack on other car drivers (save maybe a geo) is just a joke.

    i would have just laughed at him and said

    "the only real reason why your driving a probe is because you liked the way the name sounded like so much pleasure and enjoyment" haha

    I got it because you could attach a cable to your PC and mod it. That was the coolest feature of all. And the awd and the turbo and the four doors.

    I got mine as a high school grad gift in California. I didn't know what it was capable of until I brought it here, and now I'm in love :)
