14. You like the color Cherry Blossom Red, but not Pink.

15. You know what 555 means.

18. You concentrate more on the tach then the speedo.

19. You think the S202 is the hottest car ever.

20. You don't understand why people use BOVs, BPVs work perfect.

21. You never get tired of the sound from your exhaust.

22. You never want to get a car that isnt a Subaru.

23. Anything more than 18" rims are rediculous.

24. You don't mind getting smoked by a Cobra, because you know he wouldn't last a second in real conditions (snow, rain, mud, etc).

35. When you open a car with framed windows when the windows are down, you hit your head on the frame.

36. You forgot to swap tension springs when you swapped trunks with someone.

37. People think your car is slow cuz you dont lose traction in first.

38. You think underglow, neons, and LEDs are so dumb.

39. You log onto SL-i everyday.

40. You dont know what real understeer feels like.

42. The happiest time of the day is your commute.

43. You don't feel good leaving your car in the parking lot.

44. When you eat fast food, you sit next to the window and stare at your car.

45. People that don't even own a subaru trying to tell you how to upgrade the car.

46. The only import you will ever have to prove something to belongs to your friend who bought the Evo.

47. You go out of your way to find dirt/mud roads that will still kinda get you to where you are going.

48. Everything ****ing rattles, and you have no clue why or how to fix it.

49. The dirt covers the paint chips.

50. You and your friends mean totally different things when you say "V8".

51. You secretly get mad at people when they say "I'll drive tonight." and you have to leave your Sooby parked.

59. Given up all hope on your paint job.

60. ...and don't care cuz you're going mud flinging anyways.

61. Want a bigger front sway bar to reduce understeer (well actually increase front grip).

62. Have no doubts, wagons are THE COOLEST EV4R!

63. You are happy and willing to put pink parts on your car.

64. You think your B pillars could withstand an attack from Godzilla.

65. You think your in a Subie brotherhood and want to wave at every Subie that drives by.

66. When behind another Subie, you habitually recognize the Subie rear differential... like dogs sniffing each other's balls.

67. Most often wants to drive the subie over the other cars in the family stable.

68. You pray for rain.

69. You pray for snow.

70. You feel the need to put a rally pig sticker somewhere on the car, even if hidden.

71. You give girls bonus points just for being a Subie driver.

72. You can't pass a dirt lot without feeling its siren call.

73. You turn on the defrost and you've suddenly lost 100 hp.

74. You see the Corvette that beat you the day before is now being pushed by its owner off the slick spot in the morning snow...and you honk.

75. You wonder why it's so hard for people to push the door closed without touching the windows when your car is clean.

76. When driving in the rain, you wonder about the swirled collection of water that sits in the middle of your rear window when driving around.

77. Anytime, anywhere: You'll know a scoobie w/ exhaust is coming up to three blocks away.

78. When you pick your friends up, you don't have to call, or get out of your car: your exhaust does the job for you.

79. You have a serious addiction to SL-i, it becomes almost a chemical dependency; sometimes you debate rehab... then you log back on.

80.When you're at a gas station and some Ford guy says "Wow, I know a V-8 when I hear one" or "That thing sounds meaner than my truck, what did you do to that thing?"

81. You search out for the biggest parking lots the day before a snowstorm.

82. You'd rather go to a windy mountain road than the drag strip.

83. Your more concerned with suspension mods than anything that adds

I disagree with alot on this list.....

I think it's funny when people come up with "You know you own a....." lists, because 90% of the list is retarded.

Then again, I work on subarus all day 6 days a week, so while I love my legacy wagon, i'm not as obsessive over it as say my 72 Baja Beetle.

I was being a bit sarcastic, which i can understand can be hard to tell through text.....

I do agree with the wagon one, Subie owners seem to be almost religious about wagons....

.....and hell who can blame them!? :wink: :wink:

Actually people at my work cannot understand why I purposely sought out a wagon instead of a sedan....I just look at htem and laugh and say "if you own a wagon in your lifetime, you'll either own another one, or never own one again. I just something you get or don't"

We just got a Bugeye WRX wagon traded in, and it was everything I could do not to ask the owner of the shop how much he wanted for it lol

More gravel and dirt-mixed than JUST dirt. But the church being built was nice enough to even put some cones in for a quick and dusty autocross session in their rather large new unpaved parking lot. :smt018

2. You think your car sounds better than a muscle car.
Haha, had an old guy ask me if my car had a V8 today, i grinned and said 'Nope, Boxer 4 cyl'

9. You don't notice a difference driving in the rain or on dry.
:D :D

10. You hate that the gas cap doesn't have anywhere to sit, and you dont want it to touch the quarter panel.
Lol, mine does, it sits on a little holder on the flap itself. With the GC8's the cap actually screws into the flap. Must be a GD thing.

28. If you had an STi, the first thing to go would be the wing.
Fark off! Bloody yanks. Mind you, we are used to them, and proud of them down here...

And +1 to 35, fucking every time, without fail.

(one of my pet peeves)
24. You don't mind getting smoked by a Cobra, because you know he wouldn't last a second in real conditions (snow, rain, mud, etc).
(everytime I see a RWD or even FWD car that is faster than mine I always think to myself "I'll race you in the winter" lol)
43. You don't feel good leaving your car in the parking lot.
(I'm not too anal about this but I hate the high school parking lot)
54. Gold is a color you would consider for your rims.
(gold FTW)

#90. your friends ask you all the time if your back windows are broken.
#91. you yell at your friends when they try to clean the mud off your car.
#92. even jeep guys give you the thumbs up.
next one kinda goes with the burnout one.
#93. ricers are always asking you to do the legendary awd donut.
#94. your bone stock wagon will beat a honda hatch with $2,000 worth of mods at the track. (personal experience :twisted: )
#95. senior citizens that drive subarus but arent into them hear your car and wonder why they spent 50k on a chevelle they drive twice a year
#96. when you say unequal headers to people, they look at you like you have no clue what youre talking about
#97. people give you a weird look because you have 8 lights on the front of your car
#98. at least once a year, someone says to you "nice toyota"
#99. you forgot to tell the guys at smog check that the car is awd and now you have a small series of scratches on your front bumper from it hitting the fan. (not me but a friend of mine)
#100. explaining to someone how the pistons move in a boxer ends in having to get a paper and pen to draw a diagram.

there, now we have 100
