Subarus and their owners are awesome!

Subaru owners are a tight group of very friendly people. Every Subaru owner waves at the other Subaru owner. No other car is like that. You don't wave to all the other Hondas or fords or toyotas or volvos or Mercedes'.. But Subarus do. If you own a STi and a Forester drives by, you wave. Everyone is very kind hearted and super generous and friendly in the Subaru community. If your debating between a Subaru and another comprable car, let this be the deciding factor. You are joining an elite club of top quality individuals.

I still own an old Impreza I built and use to race. Tore up the streets for years until I got a little greedy with the tune one day and melted a head gasket, rings and sleeves.. She's been broken down for almost 7 years now as I have had life in the way.. How I miss my Subaru and the people that drive them.

Any Subaru owners out there?

Every Jeep Wrangler owner wave at the other Jeep Wrangler owner too man ;)

Drove a subi for years never got a wave, owned a Jeep CJ for a while and every Jeep owner would wave like motorcycle people do.

This convinces me. I'm too anti social for a subaru. I'd rather not have strangers waving at me because we drive the same brand of car. Maybe if I saw a 10th Planet sticker. But not over a car.

A lot of MINI drivers wave at each other too but I guess I am also too anti social as I never wave back.

I was going to say the same thing, it extend to XJ and ZJ's as well if there are lifted. There is even a hand-sign.

I make about 80% of my income doing automotive work, mostly on jeeps. My father was a certified auto-mechanic and a master auto technician. Ive been into cars my entire life and since I live in the Pac North-west Ive worked on a lot of subies. They had a good era. Like almost every car company they have made some great cars and a lot of shitty ones. Anything that uses a timing belt instead of a timing chain is automatically excluded from automotive greatness. They do a good job of AWD (more so now) but FWD is a joke. The low clutch bypass seal problem in many of the transmissions had was a shitty thing they stuck people with.

Well that detirriated quickly. I wasn't trying to cause a debate.. Lol.

In Chicago nobody waves at each other. That type of behavior will get you shot :)

Hmm. I wonder how this thread would have went without the "wave" sentence.

LOL. Yeah I grew up in a few rough neighborhoods. That kinda mess would make me uncomfortable even if it's well intentioned. Ha

I think the thread is going well. :) I think subarus are cool looking. I just don't want anyone waving at me.

I dont see how it deteriorated at all or any debate going on?

Yep. I just bought my wife the new outback 2.5 with all the bells and whistles. We have had Subaru's for 12 yrs. Awesome car but in Oz no one gives a fuck.

You've got about 3-5 different waves down here. I mean EVERYONE waves. When my brother came down from Elkhart Indiana he damned near got shot quite a few times. I remember him saying "Why the fuck are people flipping me off?" I tried to explain that they were waving but his quick temper got his ass whipped a few times lol.

I've got a 2007 WRX and a 2011 Wrangler. I get waved at all the time. I don't see a problem with friendliness and positve vibes.

You'd get a sore arm waving in Australia. Subi's are super common and loved them ever since my friend put an imported turbo into his liberty/legacy wagon in 1996 cause you could get them in Australia.

Laughed when I lived in Canada people thought I loved them cause they were Aussie seeing as they were advertised by Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) for some weird reason and had Roo in the name :)

Every Subaru owner in the UK is a wannabe streetracer faggot. Cutting about in some horrible modified 1998 plate monstrosity.

This is hardly an exaggeration either. Its pretty pathetic. Although when I say Subaru, the only one you ever see is the Impreza(sp?)

Id say vdub owners are the same but not all. I have a 20th edition gti and I get waves from other gti's / golfs / jettas.

I roll in a '97 Outback. Made driving this winter way more fun...

I have yet to be waved at in the Subaru. (That I've noticed, anyway.)

On the motorcycle or boat, totally different story...
