I had heard the liberal stereotypes about Subarus, especially the Outback, it being a Lesbaru, etc. and honestly, when I was car shopping this car wasn't on my radar. At all.
Then, one of my gun nut radical neighbors showed me his new Outback and the more I saw, the more I liked. It is very comfortable, lots of space, one of the top safety ratings, gets good mileage and has incredible AWD that was designed that way rather than an add-on option like other cars.
I went to check the dealer to check out what they had, but they are closed on Sundays!! Just like the local Chick-fil-As and for the same reasons. Very cool.
Long story shorter, I bought one and living with it is even better than I thought. I've taken my OB every place I've taken my 4WD Tacoma and a few places I didn't try with my truck. The AWD and ground clearance is amazing, plus makes it easy to get in and out of. No wonder people are so loyal to these cars. I'm just surprised it took me so long to figure it out.
Now, I am not a fan of the big 3, but why would you buy a hippie-mobile???
Just kidding - They're great cars. :)
Yes. At least.
Everyone I know that drives a Subaru is a leftist lesbian ...
Both of them.
Enjoy your Subaru and drive it proudly! I’m as conservative as could be and I drive an Outback and love it! I will have another when this one finally gives up the ghost. It’s a 2011 so that won’t be until 2021 or later.
that will confuse them. what is a lesbian doing in the NRA?
As for my thoughts on what car you choose to buy, you a free man, what car you choose is no one's affair but your own.
I have noticed some strange urges since I've been driving it, though. Toward women. I think I'm becoming a (sob!) lesbian.
I love Subarus. Mine went 120,000 miles before it needed a $1000 repair; now, at 145,000, it needs a new alternator. That’s all. It has an NRA sticker, a US Marine Corps sticker, a pro-hunting sticker, and a Marine Mom decal. Perhaps all this has a protective effect.
You probably bought a great car. We bought a Legacy last Spring. I am a male lesbian. The car corners like a race car. The flat four engine reduces the center of gravity and the wide tires with four wheel drive makes it stick like it’s glued to the road. Nissan and Toyota are using the CVT transmissions now. We have the paddle shifters with the pre-programmed “gears”. She flat scoots when you pass on the two lane highways. She’s at 100 mph before you know it. I put Nokian studded tires on it and it is almost too good on ice. She’ll never win any dry pavement drag races, but I have fun in the snow and ice. I’ll pull up next to a guy with a four wheel drive pickup at a stop light. When the light turns green, I get on it and then pull in front of the pickup. They have better reflexes and more power, but I have the traction and the sneakiness. I’ll never buy another UAW car. They can steal my tax money, but I’m not giving them one cent by choice.
Yes, and another one stating that if you're reading this, you're being watched.
It’s not a Liberal mobile when the roads are snow covered and icy.
It’s a useful tool.
One of our cars is a Prius and I love to go incognito with no stickers and mess with liberal’s heads. If I park beside someone with Obama stickers I always strike up a conversation about how I voted for Obama but now I am sooooo disappointed in him. Then I mention some factoid about the damage he is doing to the country. 100% of the time they stand there and listen to me because I have liberal cred with my Prius. I even went to a local Dem club meeting and “shared” my disappointment in Obama. I did slip in a few times that I drive a Prius so they didn’t even suspect I was conservative.
The Prius is the ultimate undercover car for a conservative LOL!! I have planted a lot of seeds into their little mushy brains
I prefer Toyotas, simple and no-frills as they are, but that's beside the point.
Only downside to Subaru is that there's just less available dealerships around -- compared to Toyota and Honda -- to take care of warranty issues and scheduled services.
Other than that, I will say that Subaru understands the meaning of 'Off-Road' like Toyota, Ford, and Jeep do.
One of my son’s cars is a Subaru. Got them a bumper sticker from Zazzle - “I May Drive a Subaru But I’m Not a Liberal”.
I just bought a 2012 with 12000 miles on it.
Nice car!
Did they throw in the Obama sticker and the rainbow license plate frame?
