JJBerk Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 An old one, but made me happy. At the beginning of the 48 hrs of tristate rally, in Subaru's cherry hill HQ lot, as we're lining up getting ready to roll, an engineer walked up and said, 'you know yours is pretty rare, right?' Made me very happy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miro Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Awhile back when I've owned the LGT for a month, I went to the local (super-small) dealership to pick up some random parts. As I pull in, two of the salesmen flock over like the seagulls of Capistrano. Now mind you — I had been driving my old Accord for a decade prior, so I wasn't accustomed to receiving attention from anyone aside from the occasional John Q. Lawman. So I hadn't exactly prepared for this kind of interaction. Salesman: "Hey is that a Legacy GT?!" Me: "Yea...?" Salesman: "Holy crap we never saw one before!" Me: "Cool...?" Salesman: "Hey can we see the inside???" Me: "Sure" And I open the door for him, and this dude's like a kid in a candy store, while the other one is admiring from afar. "OMG it has the thing, and that other thing, and bla bla bla, and it was made back in 2010 (while he's looking at the manufacturer's sticker), and..." I seriously didn't know how to react to all this, so I probably was a bit less enthusiastic than I could've been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandborn Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Conversation at a stoplight on the way to practice yesterday (I coach): Dude: "Hey!" Me: (not hearing him cause Pearl Jam is too loud in my car) Dude: "HEY!" Me: "oh, hey, sorry! (turn down Jeremy) Dude: "Oh man, I fu**king love your car!" Me: (slightly confused at conversation starter) "Oh, thanks." (I put on smile) Dude: "Seriously, I fu**king LOOOOVE your car." Me: (now observant on his envy) "Awe, I appreciate that, thanks alot!" -green light, I leave. I feel quite proud, then start thinking about.... :eek::eek::eek::eek::lol::lol::lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hey Rhett, I got a similar compliment... Pulled up to an intersection, had my window rolled down because it was one of the few nice days down in Houston. A guy walked up with a cup in hand and said "That's one mean machine!" only he didn't ask me for money. My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGT_2NeR Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Pulled up to the Subaru dealership the other day. As I was walking in one of the employees opened the door for me and asked if I was selling my GT. Really enjoy the car being so rare. Feels great stepping into the car every time. Never gets old.

SomeZero Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Found a nail in my tire took it to discount tire to get repaired. The techs swarmed the car and the sales guys spent the entire time asking questions about it. 45 minutes later tire is fixed I have a bill for $0.00 they said it is on the house for being the most bad ass family sedan they have seen. Then asked if I would rev it so they could hear the exhaust, they settled for me launching in their parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red50fordf1 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I may be showing my immaturity by saying this... but I passed an unmarked cop at a high rate of speed, when he pulled me over he asked with a confused look "what kind of car is this" the feeling was great. Right up until he came back to the window with the ticket... Now my fun must happen (where it should) on a track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrik94087 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 04 ish WRX. How do I make this SFW? We started together. I ended up ahead. He flashed his headlights. As I let him catch up and pass, he smiled and peace signed. I obliged. He looked pleasantly surprised.

jackal8788 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ended up at a stoplight next to a C5. When the light turned, he stepped on it so I followed suit (this was the same night that I got my Stage 3 tune completed). I was able to keep him in my rear view until letting off the gas at around 65 mph. He looked uber-confused at what he was passed by but he gave me a big thumbs up (though he still looked a bit distressed by what had happened).

siggy15 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 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. Im that guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then asked if I would rev it so they could hear the exhaust, they settled for me launching in their parking lot. Other than getting it for free, had the EXACT same thing happen. Wife came home and said tpms came on, so i put the spare on and took the low tire with nail in tread to discount tire......every tech and sales person in the store was all over the car......

wrxwhit Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 At the gym this am. "Ok, what is that, an STI", I say no. "A WRX", I say no. He then pauses in confusion and I left it at that lol!! Maybe he will research and tell me what it is by the end of my workout... Now time to kill the Chesticles!

LegacyZero Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 2 days ago while filling up. I'm standing at the pump, and a young kid in a black Nissan forester asked, "What kind of Subaru is that?" I smiled and then told him. Then we had a convo about car color and maintenance. Made me laugh. *Nissan Frontier not Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Friday before track day...this guy is looking at the front then the back then the front. I am watching this from inside Americas Tire. He sits down. He gets up again to look at it. I walked outside and told him. Sunday at the track, after the second session, one of the guys who was running walked over with his buddy and they asked me, "Is that an STI." No...it's a Legacy. "Flat four?" No...flat six. Wednesday stopped at traffic light...guy in an Infiniti M35 gives me a thumbs up. Friday at Subaru picking up right fender liner...sales guy comes over and starts asking me about wheels and tires. Maybe I should have left the badges on?
