alcopaulic Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I think this was discussed before in another thread, but whenever I see another Legacy (usually a 2.5i) I think they are going to look over and realize I'm driving the bad-ass extra loud version of their car... Then you realize the legacy's target audience and know they have no interest in loud turbocharged sports sedans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've had people guess its an Audi, BMW, and Lexus. my girlfriend once hopped in a M3 parked right next to my car (in her defense it was the same color). Also while explaining to a buddy that i wish there was a 6 speed WRX or i had gotten a 4th gen LGT wagon he damn near slapped me across the face for second guessing my baby.

GTEASER Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Just stopped by the dealer at lunch today to feel the new '15 WRX STi short shifter and as I was pulling away one of the salesmen came running out of the store to catch me before I drove away. He was falling all over himself about how he loved my car and would sell his WRX in a hearbeat if they made the GT again. He was giddy with compliments of the way I have it done up, from stance, to wheels, lip, etc. He really couldn't get over himself that he was actually in the presence of the 5th Gen LGT. It was like he saw a real life unicorn and had been a My Little Pony fan his whole life. Â Made me feel good!!!

ripp3r Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 All those WRX / Sti waves, peace signs and points - it's not because they know what it is, it's because we're in their hood scoop club. Â Now the fellow GT owners - those are the ones that get the response and make me smile :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrik94087 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm loading the rhino rack with a shed from Home Depot with the help of an associate who says he remembers my car by the Enkeis.  Two other home depot guys walk up. Second guy (caucasian kid) : Hey I saw you parked next to my EVO yesterday. Me: Yeah, I wanted to take a pic for comaprison. Second guy: Looks really nice.... Third guy (older hispanic gentleman): What kind of a car is it?

fredrik94087 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) evo with lancer hood?  Hmmm...not sure if this is a faked lancer... Here's one from the web. Wheel wells look similar and so does the wing. And, when I mentioned Evo, he didn't say it wasn't. Edit: I dont see an FMIC on the kid's car. My mistake.

redstriker Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 You can also tell it is not an evo due to solid black underneath the logo on the grill compared to an evo that has 2 slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jri Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Saw a 5th Gen GT outside of Montreal being driven by an attractive blonde.... Tried in vain to get her attention, briefly forgetting that I was in a rental car! My favourite compliment was from two police officers after a routine traffic stop. #1 says #2 "That's a sweet ride". #2 replies, "For sure, love Subaru's"..       I don't know of anything that makes a man drool faster than seeing a woman who can drive a car with a manual transmission while wearing sandal heels and a mini-skirt. My wife in Brazil.

bill.in.mtl Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 My daughter had a minor fender bender during last winter storm - taking out her front bumper. Conditions were very slick and she slid into the side of a highway exit ramp. Local cop helped her get the car into a parking lot and asked her if her mom was on her way in a panic due to this minor issue. He went on to tell her he sees many accidents when people rush to another one. She told him no, her dad was on the way - and she was not worried. I drive up, park behind the cop - he smiles and replies to my daughter "yeah, understand why you are not worried - nice ride"     Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurlyOldManMN Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 *sigh*Â dude 1: "What the HELL is that? Some kind of impala rocket?" dude 2: "I don't think we would have caught this one..."Â ... said the cops to each other while pulling me over last night. Thankfully I wasn't speeding, but arguably qualified as "unnecessary acceleration". No ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Drove past a guy in a white 2015 WRX yesterday. He was leaning right up to his steering wheel, eyes as big as saucers, huge smile, giving me a deuce as I passed by.

fredrik94087 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I made a friend at the post office. It started with "nice Legacy". He invited me to autocross sometime with him and his buddies.

Rhett Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I was vacuuming my car at the car wash the other day when an old fella rode up on a bike. He proceeded to tell me that I had a nice car. Then, he asked me for some money. Not sure if that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
