BDII Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Respecifying the powertrain, interior, and customer options down from other markets is what makes a USDM subaru a USDM subaru. well said! Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcaveman Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 think about it...its a JDM car design where the pedals are on the other side. They didnt redesign it when they brought it over. this thread is full of fail Then the Australians, Brits and Japanese must like having no leg room for the driver. More likely there is something routed under their required on USDM cars that the Overseas don't have or require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Exuberance Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 ...driving a Forester, it's what makes a Subaru a Subaru. . yup just ask my cousin.... we call it the "Chastity Wagon" because you look so uncool driving it no one will ever want to have sex with you.

Leper Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 As a total Subaru "moonie", I have driven over 1,000,000 miles in 5 Subaru's with only 1 unscheduled maintenance. (Wheel bearing, who knew?) Given that, what makes a Subaru a Subaru is exactly opposite what makes a Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Chrysler, Mercury, etc. A Subaru will get you there and then back home. On dark, stormy, rainy, snowy nights, that counts for a lot. And if you have a heart, you'll stop and pick up the GM driver stranded by the side of the road, even if he does have a chainsaw and an On-Star rep screaming at you not to.

hutru01 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 ^ I hate when the mexicans at the car wash turn it on (when they are wiping the steering column down I suppose) and I don't know its on until the next morning when my battery is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutru01 Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Not cool, my friend. Not cool. I will put it in more politically correct terminology since I have apparently have offended you. The individuals who worked at the carwash that I used to go to in Fairfax, VA, all of whom were of latino heritage turned on my parking lights while wiping down the top of my steering wheel column. The car being new to me, I didn't recognize that they the parking lights were on until the next morning when my battery was dead. If you find that racist, thats your own fault, because it was the truth. (They just happen to all be latino, not my fault) Anyways, this is completely off topic. Back to what makes a subaru a subaru.

Umass94 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 after stopping having to put the key back in the ignition, turn it, then pressing the sun-roof close button three times. My ten year old Taurus had auto-close on the sunroof, and accessory power for windows after turning the car off. Thats what makes a subaru a subaru. Here's proof: Just 1 minute after buying my OBXT, I had 7 phone calls from insanely hot women, and got 7 dates out of it. Coincidence? I think not.

You haven't offended me personally, but I'm sure you offended others on this list. Your post wasn't racist because it didn't use politically-correct terminology. Maybe the workers were, in fact, from Mexico. Your post was racist because you referred to "...the mexicans at the car wash..." implying that Mexicans are deficient in some way and that workers of some other race may not have turned on your parking lights. The point is, the only reason for race to be included in such a statement was to be inflamatory, insulting, or degrading. If the car wash workers were white, would you say "the white workers at the car wash"? Or "the black workers at the car wash" if the workers were black? And by the way, calling out racism is always on topic -- and I'm going to call it like I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not implying anything to be honest. Furthermore, those guys do a hell of a job wiping the cars down and vacuuming after going through the soft cloth wash. They just happened to cut on my parking lights one day. I can see your point of view and I do appreciate you pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totmacher Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The ability to take a 25 mph exit ramp at 55 mph in a stock $23k car and then thinking "i could've gone a little faster through that curve" is what makes a subaru a subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
