Never knew that ... thought the Aztec was the "queer" one.

Texting and driving is a dangerous practice, we can all agree on that. But would you be surprised to learn that texting might cause you trouble even when your vehicle is locked up tight? As more and more daily items tap into the Matrix, we're exposing more products to those crafty enough to have taken the red pill that is a complete understanding of computer science.
The Black Hat organization gathers industry professionals for events that focus on technical security, and hosts meetings around the world. A recent event in Las Vegas brought out a few folks from iSec Partners, who demonstrated that they could unlock and start a Subaru Outback using their Android phone. By setting up their own GSM network, the pair from iSec grabbed authentication passwords by way of text messages. This gained them entry to the vehicle, and also allowed them to fire up the engine.

A couple of great comments at the site:
“A dark day for lesbians everywhere.”
“All your Outback are belong to us.”
So what they’re saying is that I shouldn’t have paid for the remote start option on my Outback, I should have just set up my own roving GSM network.
LOL.
Mommies everywhere who hate mini-vans are offended. (But I know you were just quoting the article.)
When the Subaru Forester was said to be a gay car, a few years ago, I started looking at who drove them locally. The first I saw was a geezer guy with two American flags flying, the second was a woman with a baby in the back seat, the third another geezer guy...
We get a fair amount of snow and Subarus are good in the snow.
Mrs. Slim has a Forrester, but I checked the closet and found no flannel shirts. Dodged a bullet there!
yup, that POS was aggressively ugly...
The Aztec wasn’t a fag car technically, but I still remember going with my uncle to find a car and the Pontiac guy kept “psyching” him to look at the Aztec. It was pathetic and funny at the same time.
My wife has called them “Lesbarus” for years. She grew up in Iowa.
I’m from Minnesota, where every suburban garage had a Subaru (or Volvo) for the soccer moms.
Go figure.
Someone here once provided the figures and a 'gay car' was a car bought by gays in slightly higher percentages that straights. It's really nonsense.
The REAL gay car is, as far as I know, the BMW, and specifically the Z4.
So, all you guys in or approaching midlife crises, that new Bimmer doesn’t make you seem younger, it makes you seem GAY!
OK, in yellow it IS gay...
