subie kinship
 

tonight i stopped into the mostly empty home depot to pick up some stuff for diy centercaps and when i came out a nice second gen forester parked right behind me.

probably should have stayed to say hi!

If you stop to talk to every Subaru owner that parks near you you many never get much done. Although I suppose it could be worse and you could have a FRS and stop to talk to all the Toyota drivers.

But wait, we're Scion though. Wouldn't it be easier to talk to all the Scion drivers?

On second thought, maybe that's a bad idea...

I am sure the other 5 or 6 Scion drivers in my city are very nice.

The ones around my area are douches. (Generally speaking.)

I know 1 other Scion owner (a Tc) in my city and that is a very nice lesbian couple.

most of the subie owners around me are of the slighty outdoorsy slightly hippie/yuppie set (how stereotypical!) with new base model outbacks and foresters, but this was the first tastefully modded interesting subaru ive come across here so far.

I noticed this now, but I should have noticed sooner; the eyes on your avatar are not straight. Ew.

Actually pretty accurate to real life so I am ok with that.

This made me laugh more than it should've.

I dunno why, I just don't like the Tc

Ever drive one? They are actually really sweet even if FWD. They get a bad rap because of the whole Scion bias but in reality there isn't much like them out there. I actually went into the dealership to look at the Tc when I almost tripped over my car sitting in the showroom in all it's blazing orange glory and was immediately smitten. Unlike about 98% of this forum I did not lust after an FRS but hardly remembered they existed (had never even seen one in the wild before I bought it) so it is because of the Tc I even am here now.
If I ever decided that I needed more room I could very well swing over to the Tc since I have zero issue with Scion.

To be honest, same here. Initially did not care much for Scion until they introduced the FR-S. Actually, the thought popped up that if I were to somehow lose my daily (a Corolla), I'd either pick up a first-gen Scion xB or any 2ZZ Toyota XRS.

My inner twelve year old grammar nazi wants to share fun and silly thoughts but my outer grownup strongly advises against it.

so conflict much sad

Not really a grammar error as much grammar corundum as legally only one technically owns it. I did struggle with the wording and then just said "fuck it they can take it or leave it".
