So I was driving down university the other night and a guy on a crotch rocket was driving erratically and so I decided to pass him. I figured I would rather pass him then have him drop his bike and then have a wrx back rub. So as I tried to pass he tried to race me. I am getting used to this reaction, all be it not what I am looking for. If I want to race you will know, which I have no interest in racing. What are some of the unwanted reactions you have dealt with for having the Subaru that makes others droll.
i get hicks yelling crap at me in thier 3rd gen camaros and 5.0 mustangs, i think i have every one of those turds that lives in my town scared of my car, because they utterly get pooped on.
My car got mistaken for a Mustang by a Bag Boy in hopkins and Drickskulls... I told i could carry my own grocerys... What he said through his only three teeth "Uh thats a cool car, Is it a mustang?".... ittyfool:
the lesbians that check out subarus are always the hairy, earth muff . . . in, granola types. Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwww
my favorite is when people make fun of me for driving a wagon. them groceries aren't gonna follow me home now are they?
lol, 61 pizzas, with an empty passenger seat and an unobstructed view out the back window. I see the commercials for the Ford Escape, "All the excitement of an SUV, and the economy of a sedan." HA, they're referring to the FWD version. my 4WD Subaru can carry more than your escape, and get just as good mileage, AND it's fast4r!!!!
I have been*called* a lesbian by people on university but also people always seem to think i want to go faster than I am like if i am on the highway, there is always someone behind me pushing me to go faster. And I get boxed in repeatedly by trucks, especially if the person is going slow in front of me, and it's obvious that it's slower than the speed limit - the ones on the other side will try to prevent me from going in that lane. actually, that's not really related to the subaru :laugh: I have had many people attempt to race and I don't race either. Unless I really want to. Which I normally don't. :roll:
Guy in obnoxiously loud Fiero, @ a stoplight during rush hour - "That thing fast?" Me - "Uh....:crazy:" Him - Tire chirp launch, weave through traffic. Butch lesbians (trying to find the badges on the back of the car as I walk up) - Nice Car, is that a Subaru???!!!"
Ever got compliments from a cop? I did and she was good-lookin' (a plus). I didn't get a ticket on top top of that. ...said I was going sideways so she pulled me over. :hsugh: Gotta love sleepers!
I get little kids in honda's and acura's trying to race me when i'm on my bike all the time....does that count for anything? I have actually had kids in Mustangs try to race me too... and when I say kids, it looks like they borrowed their parents car.
+1 on the kids with Mustangs (probably parents Mustangs)!!! :roll: Just last night I was comin home from softball when some kids in a stang decided to rev their engine and try to blow by me... Key word being try! They didn't succeed, then they pull up next to me at the next light asking "what the hell is that thing?" I laugh and say just some week jap trap! :laugh::laugh::laugh: They then decide to rev it and peel out, while I just did the normal take-off... See ya kids! Is it normal for a Stage II WRX to pwned all over a Mustang???
I have before in mine, and it's not that hard. If the mustang is modded fairly decently, it may make it more of a challenge as they only have the 2WD drivetrain loss.
Yeah, I think they just think the name "Mustang" must mean the car is the fastest ride out there... I know it wasn't a Cobra and it was just stock, but it had the dual exhaust so it must have not been the ultra cheep Stang! It was pretty fun to rub it in on them though!
I doubt my car makes many non-subaru owners "drool" but... "is that thing fast?" "no, it just looks fast..." as I limp to the next light. Oddly enough I get every dbag middle aged dude in his god aweful lexus or infinity SUV try to race. Tsk tsk dad, all you'll get is the "are you serious" look
well...I just had 2 hondas try to race me the other day while driving...92 si hatch and 99 si coupe...they just rev their Vtec and I got scared so I just let them be...:bowdown:
Nobody really bothers me. And when the civics on teh freeway want to roll, I usually just keep it at the speed limit and pay no attention. I'm not made of money, so I'll avoid the tickets. Occasionally when someone is really asking for it, I'll go. But that is rare these days. BTW, if you are looking to break a bunch of ******* teenager's hearts, roll around Cottage Grove on the weekends. There is an abundance of jackass highschoolers with lead feet and slow cars that are just asking for it.
I get this all the time. Mustangs...not really worried. Camaro, V8, maybe, as my WRX is pretty much stock. As far as Hondas, I don't like wasting my time. Oh BTW, on my way home from work, at 12:20AM, N169, black Tiburon. GROW UP! I don't street/HWY race...much.
Over the past couple years that I have had my WRX I have noticed that most people assume that I am either 2 fast and/or 2 furious, which I am neither. But I am also not in a walker shouting at the young whippersnappers. I guess this all comes down to the defense of the accused rapist. "But she was asking for it, by dressing so slutty" ha ha, NO, zipit! just cause we got a Subaru does not mean we are asking for it. Tiburon = douchbag...one-step above a powerwheel. pow pow power wheels.
Subaru dude - "is that a stock Tiburon?" Tiburon Timmy - "shoo fool, you know I got the aftermarket hook up, wanna race?" Subaru dude - "no, fool, no. go back to wmc and ask for your money back."
Typical conversation: Them- That have a turbo? Me- Yep. Them- Is it fast? Me- It goes forward.... Also i had the pleasure of being behind a GTP and an SE-R the other night at a stoplight on the hwy. They decided to race so for fun I kept up w/ them for a 150ft or so until the megre/unmerge lane started and passed them and turned off.
I think the beauty of the wagon is that ricers seem to have no concept that it's actually a real wrx.
