Day after day went by.. I was worried it was me... Maybe it's because I live in New York... Maybe it's because it's cold outside... Why hadn't I gotten any compliments yet? Well.. I went to the corner store to get some beers so I can finish this dreadful research paper. I was at the window and I saw a large man in his 50's staring at my car. "Is this the moment I've been waiting for?" I thought. He laughed and said "I need something like this.. Small, it's a stick shift right?" "Yes it is a 6 speed in fact" I replied. "I need to get something like this real soon. Tired of friends asking me for rides" the large man said. I told him how much it costed and he looked at me like I just told him that I saw Jesus flying on a blue pig with Cinderella. He proceeded to shower me with compliments about the car and thanked me for telling him about it. Yes.. Finally...

I get asked about it at LEAST once a week. I once had an elderly couple (had to have been in their 60s) motion to me to roll down the window at a stop light and they immediately asked how much it was and whether or not I loved it.

I told them the price and that I do in fact, love this car, and they flashed me a thumbs up.

Part time job, parents pay for it, combination of both, possible inheritance, lots of loans, or possibly already has a good job and still going to school.

lol, my first compliment was a grade school kid walking home with his friends. I just hear "DAYUUUM?! das a subaru??"

He walks up to my open window and gives me a high five.

Then as I drive away he is like "STICK SHIFT!"
