    A lot of folks just don't feel the whole subie love thing, have no idea there are forums to be involved with in the first place, and have no idea why you're waving at them. That actually surprised me at first.

    Forums don't have to be involved, sorry about that. It was for me though, I never waived at any subie til I came on here but I was shy and never talked with anyone, was mean, guess"stuck-up" too and wasn't courteous on the road. I was like wtf are you waving at me for dumb a**

    That was me, Was Me.

    Guess I grew out of my shell and am nicer to everyone, more happy and outgoing and I wave now.

    I agree, some just don't feel the whole subie thing(wave). That's fine, maybe they were like me back then. wtf dude, I don't know you. Now I'm on the other end, wtf dude, why aren't you waving back

    Two today! both PSM bugeye's wagons....and I'm in a PSM wagon too!! but not bugeye. Both around 9:50am and within 1mi of each other. The first was at the 100N and hwy 81 'strange' exit at the first light..it turned green and I then noticed you were next to me, tint, bronze wheels, car looked and sounded really good! And the other was on hwy 81 just over 100 at the first light when I was heading west.. veryyy nice and clean car with JDM? front end, wheels as well and swoosh stickers on the rear pass windows..I rolled the windows down and waved and got a wave back!

    Yup! looks about right, nice vehicle! I had to do a double take because of how good the paint looked.

    RexNEffect: I dont believe that would have been your GF in that spotting given it was an asian dude...unless..? haha. BUT, I have seen another wrb 04-05 roll past my place of work on West Broadway, does she have 02-03 black wrx wheels?

    I don't see many subarus around so most of them are good to me :D.
    I do have to agree though, a few of them need some work. Mainly non-bird catcher hood scoops and restored headlights. However, I don't own the cars so I don't really care lol.

    There were definitely some cars in the show that didn't belong there though.

    Tash, The guy with the 07 sti with the intercooler backwards does not even have it hooked up..... It is just sitting there and I guess its a custom one he bought from an 05 STI that some guy made.... Yes he caught me on my way to my car leaving.

    Yea, I have the roof rack. There are a lot of subaru owners working at cummins, I have only met a couple. Yea I spotted your yellow fogs the other day when you parked in the visitor lot and saw your car earlier today. Welcome to Cummins, let me know what line you are on and I will stop down.

    Followed a red '10? WRX wagon from the big parking ramp near First Ave out of Minneapolis on 394. Gave the girl driving a wave and got one in return. Were you at the Reel Big Fish show, too?

    Spotted a 2dr 2.5RS yesterday. While that might not seem unusual to you lot, it was a left hooker, and I'm in the UK. We don't have 2.5RSes here. It must belong to someone on the local US base. Here's a question for you: If you were moving somewhere that had a wide variety of UK/Euro/JDM spec vehicles available, would you bother shipping a 2.5RS from the US ? Now, I absolutely loved my old 2.5RS. But, as soon as I found out I was moving back to Europe, I went shopping for an STi Type-RA Limited. Wouldn't you leave the 2.5RS at home and find something a tad more exotic to play with for a while ?

    Having said that, the next door neighbour brought over his Mercury Mariner Hybrid, which I suspect may be the only one in the country. Your tax dollars at work, folks.

    Agreed. I'd have put that in storage and searched for something a lot more fun. Which base are you near?

    As far as the Mariner goes, nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    Clear of it of all toxins and sink it in the ocean for divers and aquatic wildlife. It is in fact a Mariner, so it's fitting.

    I'm pretty sure that's how one of the Godzilla movies got started. Do you really want that happening to the UK?

    Then again, it would be a somewhat funny belated 4th of July gift.

    Spotted a dark grey GR hatch (couldn't tell if WRX or STi) in the Menards parking lot in Cottage Grove at around 1pm today. I was the retard in the red 350z roadster with the 2'x4' plywood sheet in the front seat.

    Menwith Hill. Trish's accent always makes people think she's involved with the base. They get very confused when they hear me. My accent has changed. I've lived in so many places now that nobody can tell where I'm from any more. It's kind of fun making them guess :devil:
